AIG paid its employees $165 million in bonuses after receiving $170 billion in charity from the government. As xkcd pointed out, that's a misleading way to look at it. It's more accurately $165,000,000 of $170,000,000,000, or a little under 0.1%. That's like lending your friend $10 and then getting mad because he gave someone else a penny. And then when he tried to "recoup" that penny, he only managed to get half a penny, but that still made you happy. #money
