Obama caps executive pay tied to bailout money

[BigPapaVol]

truly scary. it's like lawgator is running this country.

fortunately, those idiots don't have the latitude to dictate like that to corporations. He's hinting at changing tax laws so that pay beyond 500k isn't an expense, but at the companies he's talking about, that's about as deterrent as LG in his cheerleader outfit.

sometimes I hate being right:

Barney Frank: TARP's comp curbs could be extended to all businesses - Financial Week

Even I can agree this is crap. Frank is an idiot of the first order.

Stop with that. He's a Harvard Law grad.

It could be worse, he could be president with an MBA from Harvard.

He wouldn't be near the financial idiot that Frank is if that were the case.

True, but he would be an idiot nonetheless, with more power.

I'm not sure either is an idiot, but they're such reactionary partisans that it's clouded each guy's ability to reason.

I think they are both idiots, and both partisans. With Frank being the bigger idiot, and Bush being the one with more power. Most politicians fall into a category of some sort with this.

Let's face it, most of these lawmakers aren't really the brightest tools in the shed with the decisions they make while in office.

I bet anyone $5k that barney frank makes more than $500k a year.
