Who To Blame For The Economy?

Megan won't join the witch hunt. But she still doesn't especially want to fork over more money to AIG, even though that might be the least bad option:

Why not just say "no bonuses for anyone at AIG"?  To hell with the bums!  Well, we now own the company.  If we hasten the flight of quality employees out of the company, that will cost us money.  The answer might be some kind of performance bond.  But as in other financial firms, traders often take as bonus what should be salary, which means that they need at least part of their bonuses to maintain their lifestyle.  If they're faced with bankruptcy, the traders who are talented will go elsewhere--the financial market is shrinking, but the top traders still have other opportunities.  AIG has a lot of positions to unwind.  Do we want to leave the job to the dregs of the organization?
