we paid $190 billion already, it s cost the taxpayers, and there s about 50 billion or more to come, so to somehow assume that people can t do their job correctly without millions of dollars in bonuses when every day we have men and women who are serving, some who are putting their lives on the lines, they re not getting millions of dollars worth of bonuses. somehow, the overseer, a man named demarco, somehow said this is a good idea. he should be fired. greta: one of them gets $900,000 a year. which is more than any civil servant or anyone else. greta: no question about it. it s a significant sum of money, but what was so stunning is demarco said if they don t give bonuses that we re not going to attract so-called good people to the job to replace them which is bizarre to me at $900,000, but secondly, you say they re doing
