Sen. Claire McCaskill is outraged by reports that Wall Street executives received $18 billion in bonuses after receiving federal bailout money.
McCaskill responded by introducing legislation that would cap executive pay at $400,000 a year for companies getting bailout money.
McCaskill made her feelings known in front of her Senate colleagues.
"We have a bunch of idiots on Wall Street that are kicking sand in the face of [the] American taxpayer," said McCaskill. "Once the taxpayers aren't footing the bill, then it's not as much our business what they get paid. But right now they are on the hook to us and they owe us something other than a fancy waste basket and a $50 million jet."
McCaskill also said executives getting bailout money should not be making more money than the president of the United States.

Every junior manager up to the CEOs of all banks, insurance, mortgage & brokerage companies are all responsible for the complete destruction on our economy. They are all to blame for having wiped out (& stole) the life savings & incomes of millions of innocent hard-working families. These slutters are absolute horrors. If there was a way to single them out (slut-cowards won't show their faces or admit their lust & greed), they could be lined up for hard labor in a gulag. These execs are vermin.
The idiots are not on Wall Street--they are best characterized as crooks, charlatans, bottom-feeders, and scoundrels. The idiots are in the U. S. Congress, whose stupidity is surpassed only by brain-dead patients in the intensive-care units of the nation's hospitals (heartfelt apologies to them and their loved ones). Exhibit A in Congress: Christopher Dodd (of course, he is both stupid and a scoundrel).
