What does Williams do that makes him worth 10 million a year? I don’t get it.

I think I’m in rare agreement with Brian Williams since I think the government bailouts at taxpayer expence is a mortal sin. These execs should be collecting zero.

GE is nursing on the gubment teet.

Government control of private business was the plan all along. Now they've got the proverbial foot in the door

Regulations were not enough of an affront to capitalism for the commies in charge, now they can control some companies from the top down.

‘’News readers’’ could be had for a little more than minimum wage. Work on it GE.

Aww come on! Journalism is a holy calling and shouldn't be sullied by crass considerations of filthy lucre. It's not like the commercial world, why a free press with big salaries is even protected by the Constitution or something.

(I would add a sarcasm if it's really needed but I'm hoping that it isn't)

On the surface, the $500,000 cap sounds like a good idea. However, this idea will actually create more confusion and chaos for the companies that receive bailout funds. Here’s why:

If you were a talented CEO and suddenly your pay was going from $4M to $500K, but you had the chance to jump ship to one of your competitors (that didn’t take the bailout money) and still get paid $2M+. Would you jump???

Think of it in baseball terms. If the AL suddenly decided to cap players salaries at $500,000 per year, how long would it take Ichiro, A-Rod, Jeter & Mussina to jump to a NL team?
