The U.S. government has recently bailed out many financial institutions in an effort to keep from having a repeat of the the 1920's great depression. This was an unprecedented move by the U.S. government, but seems the only way to keep it's economy from sinking. Infusing this amount of money into the nation's financial companies is making many people precarious about the future of capitalism. Aside from the government pumping money into these institutions, many people are asking about the integrity of "Golden Parachutes" which are agreed upon by a contract between the company and generally its' executive employees. These parachutes are rewarded to upper executives in the event they are terminated from the company for making floundering decisions. That's right, upper executives are awarded sums of money or other forms of monetary gain if they show incompetence and are unable to lead the company in the right direction. What became of rewarding people for their ability to lead a company in the right direction? Who can investors trust in if CEO's are made indifferent by million dollar golden parachutes?
