and that’s fine.

so you are aware what a bonus is, right? bonuses are rewards for hard work and over reaching your company’s goals.

these banks failed. without the help of the government, they wouldn’t be in business. the bailout money was to keep them from failing. so in the end, the executives did not reach the goals as the companies were on “welfare” and thus they should not have received a performance based bonus.
