What’s a bunch of Wells Fargo bigwigs to do now that their struggling bank has gotten a whopping $25 billion from the federal government? Two words: Vegas, baby.

There is an update.

I'm actually getting tired of people complaining about these execs getting bonuses and having parties. They bitch about it but don't complain about the government bailing them out. They can't see the forest for the trees.

No surprise. These execs have their money, they'll be fine while the rest of us suffer :rolleyes:

Doesn't the article say the trip was cancelled?

Actually, the TARP program generated the biggest outcry that I can remember. Of course, they voted it in anyway, and the voters returned most of them to their seats.

Too bad there was no blowback.

They are just trying to support the Vegas economy which is desperate for visitors. It is great use of the Tarp funds.
