Easier than robbing banks...

...and less chance you'll get shot:

Chrysler Group LLC lost $652-million (U.S.) last year, but the company will hand out performance bonuses for 2010 to almost all its employees before repaying taxpayer loans of $7.6-billion (U.S.) that kept the company alive during the auto crisis.

The auto maker, however, forecast a profit for the current year and said its turnaround is so far advanced that the company can afford to share its improving fortunes with workers.

Luckily for the Obama administration, US taxpayers will never find out about this.  Canadian readers, however, can get the details in the Globe and Mail.
