He wrote, "I question the appropriateness of depleting the capital that taxpayers just injected into the banks through the payment of billions of dollars in bonuses, especially after one of the financial industry's worst years on record."

Though what's commonly known as the Wall Street bailout package includes modest restrictions on CEO pay, it hardly prevents participating financial firms from paying bonuses to top executives and others.

And it seems many on Wall Street are expecting some big money. eFinancialCareers tells Fast Money, "We thought you'd be interested in the results of post-bailout survey of Wall Street professionals on their bonuses expectations. 2/3 are expecting a 2008 bonus; 36% are expecting that bonus to be higher than their 2007 bonuses. There's even a minority - 10% - that expect this year's bonus to the 33% higher."



Dylan Ratigan is outraged by the news in general. He can't believe that financial services sector could take on so much risk that they need a $750 billion taxpayer funded bailout and then turn around still provide their upper echelon with bonuses.



What do you think? Should regulators limit Wall Street bonuses this year?
