They are being rewarded for their success.
They were tasked with destroying the US economy and destroying the middle class, as part of the long-term plan of the Republicans to make the US into a third world nation with their GOP buddies as dictators-for-life. And this they did perfectly.
Why shouldn't they get rewarded for helping make America a two-class police state?

Greed vs. Integrity has to end!
A Conservative Former Editor of National Review Endorses Barack Obama
“I now see that Obama is almost the ideal candidate for this moment in American history. I disagree with him on many issues. But those don’t matter as much as what Obama offers, which is a deeply conservative view of the world. Nobody can read Obama’s books (which, it is worth noting, he wrote himself) or listen to him speak without realizing that this is a thoughtful, pragmatic, and prudent man. It gives me comfort just to think that after eight years of George W. Bush we will have a president who has actually read the Federalist Papers.’
“Most important, Obama will be a realist. I doubt he will taunt Russia, as McCain has, at the very moment when our national interest requires it as an ally. The crucial distinction in my mind is that, unlike John McCain, I am convinced he will not impulsively take us into another war unless American national interests are directly threatened."

Amazing. Totally failure and they manage to walk away totally rich. What the heck is wrong with this picture?
I'm sorry but even seeing that $161 million figure makes me tense and angry and I wonder how many other people would see that and think it's time for a French revolution right here, roll out the gilloutine.Driving into work, I was listening to a news broadcast about some company is looking to "reduce salaries" for the average worker who isn't able to make ends meet now. This is so out of whack it's almost impossible to describe how wrong it is.
I think that one new regulation we need in these bailouts is that ALL executive salaries must be cut so that no one is making more than the president of the United States. Oh yeah, I know these poor little CEOs will scream about how they'd starve on such a paltry salary. Tough beans. In addition, all severance pacakages must be forfeited. If they can eliminate pension plans for rank and file workers who earned them with 40 years' labour, then they can suffer a little too.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae top executives are also being richly rewarded for their incompetence.
Former HUD executive Catherine Austin Fitts suggests, however, that perhaps they're being rewarded for doing precisely what they were supposed to do; that is, bring those organizations to their ruin. See her post here: http://solari.com/blog/?p=1570
Reading her series in its entirety, you have to ask if what we're watching isn't simply the result of greed and incompetence but an engineered collapse.
