Almost 700,000 employees? Holy crap! I had no idea. Looking it up they are the 4th largest (by employees) "business" in the world. And oh yeah,...
I am actually more pissed off at anyone who supported or voted for the bailout, and now is complaining about these bonuses. Many people opposed...
This is what is amazing to me. Thankfully we got the bailout so maybe people can start getting these types of student loans again.
