All these bailouts are just making things worst. if the banks are dumb enough to give millions in wages and bonuses, even though they can't afford it then they deserve to go bust and criminal proceedings bought against them.
Whats happened now is that the taxpayer in the states and uk are bailing out these thieves and still they're paying themselves millions in bonuses out of the taxpayers bailout.
In the UK there was an uproar when about 10 bigwigs in banking paid themselves ?50,000,000 in bonuses between themselves, and that was bailout money. But governments are too spineless to regulate the banking industry, so basically they make up the rules as they go along and still pay themselves silly money even for failiure.
Nice work if you can get it
