for giving a raise to CEO Jamie Dimon.

The Wall Street giant had to pay $17 billion in fines for illegal activity in 2013
"Speaking during a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren noted how government regulators have much work to do when it comes to changing the culture of Wall Street, pointing specifically to the example of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.

"The JPMorgan Chase example is simple and instructive: Despite the fact that the megabank spent much of 2013 negotiating with federal regulators, and ultimately was fined billions of dollars, the board decided to increase CEO Jamie Dimon’s compensation to $20 million."

And yet her Republican colleagues in the Senate voted down an extension of the minimum wage law.

The story is pretty damn simple, the Republicans and their fellow travelers ^^^ are OK with a criminal enterprise paying a crook $20,000,000 and denying working men and women who lost jobs due to criminal banksters, an extension of unemployment insurance.

How much more corrupt can the GOP become?

****

From the Link in the OP:

"The raise is very real, but it should be kept in mind that Dimon’s annual compensation had been previously slashed in half, to $11.5 million, as punishment for 2012′s so-called London Whale fiasco+++, which cost the bank billions.

"After a reportedly heated debate — in which some members argued Dimon’s compensation should remain at its “reduced” level, due to the bank’s fines in 2013, while other advocated increasing the CEO’s compensation as a reward for his stewardship during the crisis — the board ultimately decided on the $20 million figure.

“Jamie Dimon got a raise after he negotiated $17 billion to pay for activities that were illegal that he presided over,” Warren said on Thursday. '“So I’m not quite sure how this is a deterrent for other CEOs.”'

Stephanie is not only an asshole and stupid she is a liar too!

Other than being a non sequitur, I'll remind driveby and others that no fines were assessed for wrongdoing or criminal behavior. Solyndra was a combination of bad luck and a poor business plan:

Solyndra was a manufacturer of cylindrical panels of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells based in Fremont, California. Although the company was once touted for its unusual technology, plummeting silicon prices led to the company's being unable to compete with more conventional solar panels.[1] On 1 September 2011, the company ceased all business activity, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and laid off all employees.[2] The company is also being sued by employees who were abruptly laid off.[3]

You left out the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars laundered by the Obama administration, numbnuts........

It's a private company that gets 14 billion a year in taxpayer subsidies. It got 25 billion in the bank bailout and that doesn't include it's subsidiaries. Free stuff for the 1%. Solyndra only received about 500 million. Basically JP Morgan gets about 28x the amount of taxpayer subsidies yearly that Solyndra received one time. So yes, Warren has every right to question JP Morgan.

Because nothing sends the message don't do that again like a bonus.

This is what I find amazing about Republicans: the unwillingness to demand that employers pay their workers enough not to need food stamps or welfare that we have to pay via taxes.
