I'll also add that I think Congress should have put in some provision requiring that the funds only be used to cover immediate business needs. Sure, they had contracts with some employees for those bonuses, and they could be sued if they weren't paid, but let them deal with that and pay them out of actual profits when they are stable again. Seems like they robbed Peter (government and taxpayers) to pay Paul (bonus contracts), and now they're wondering why Peter is screaming bloody murder at them and trying to get that money back. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:292480 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
