'The bonuses Merrill took are more than what we spend on AIDS, TB and malaria in poor countries.'
...said by Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University on Rachel Maddow's show. Because these executives grabbed this money for themselves, poor people are dying.

He says this money should be demanded back from these executives. This is just unconscionable.



Merely scolding and shaming these people will not work.
