Quote:
City bank bonuses for 2009 will rise by 50%, a report predicts - a year after a huge financial bail-out.

The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) said payouts would hit £6bn, up from £4bn in 2008, because of rising profits and less competition.

Quote:
THE state-owned Royal Bank of Scotland is planning to hand out record bonuses of up to £5m each in a snub to struggling taxpayers.

Quote:
The bonus pot for the first nine months of the year now stands at £10.3bn (Goldman Sachs).

WTF is happening? Has the outrage over the bonuses already passed? I see a new bank upping bonuses every day, it's treated like a normal thing now. How does making 'profit' with the taxpayers money AND loaning money to the same paxtayer with high interest rates while the banks themselves pay almost zilch interest rate, warrant higher bonuses? Unbelieveable. It's basically ripping off consumers.
