>Remember when we did this in 2008 under the Obama administration? We gave them $10bil and they paid out "contractually obligated bonuses" with more than half of the money? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2009/jul/31/wall-street...

AFAIK in finance, "bonuses" are a significant part of compensation, similar to RSUs in tech.
