The headline is good.

It was submitted in the correct category.

The description is great.  The submitter even summarized it in his/her own words.

The source domain?  The Economist.  It’s a reputable publication and this will be the second time I post an article from their site on this blog.  Both articles are about the Financial Crisis and respective government bailout… erm, “rescue plan.”

Considering the current condition of global economies, stock markets, and financial institutions, I would think the Economist would have more success on Digg.

I checked; their articles are submitted on a regular basis. But, look at the low number of Diggs they get.  They don’t hit the FP very often, and when they do, it looks like it’s due mostly to the submitter.

Guess they’re not HuffPo.

Original Description:

The Economist published a thought provoking article on the way bankers are currently paid and what can be done to prevent the head honchos from walking away with short-term gains without any repercussions from the future fallout of their decisions. These “head honchos” should be paying the US taxpayers back with their ill-gotten gains.
