It would be a nice thought if giving back bonuses was an original thought. These folding chair robber barons are succombing to public pressure, Mr.Coumo and great business leaders such as icahn. I have another thought of appropriate accountability, often times the special perks travel expenses, stocks options, meals, medical, country club memberships often equate to more than the bonuses..Old jedi mind trick.

I find it odd that the one constant for justice and appropriate representation of the people isn't seriously being considered for any positions, Mr. Cuomo. He's the only one making any significant efforts for traction in restoring confidence to the general public versus activity for limelight and lightbulbs attention.

We must declare a truce on this war against fellow Americans. Credit rating and insurance companies must be held accountable for their role in credit worthiness, prosperity robbing, inflated rates, individual interest rate herding, etc.

Mr. Icahn I'm surprised the higher learning institutions haven't risen to the occasion and accepted their roles as in the past history of our nation during. Maybe those endowments are still paying dividends?

These are great opportunities for our nation and I hope everyone can put their selfish nature aside for the common good of fellow Americans and prosperity for All.
