xkcd is usually a pretty good comic, but not today:

I hope you see by my title why this is impossibly stupid. It's not a question of the orders of magnitude difference between million and billion. It's a question about the vector of the value. Since these jackasses weren't getting negative bonuses when they were making money, they shouldn't be getting positive bonuses when they're losing money. That would be the honest comparison.
