Republicans fighting to protect CEO pay |
|
"... Mr. Paulson is resisting efforts to limit the pay of executives whose firms participate in the program and plans to fight it "hard," according to a person familiar with the matter. He fears that provision would render the program moot, since many firms might choose not to participate.
There seems willingness to negotiate on other issues, such as how Treasury hires asset managers to oversee the immense investment portfolios it soon could own..."http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122200573768460503.html-- There you have it. ---

3. If they choose not to participate then too bad for them. |
|
I am scared this is going to pass as is and be a huge giveaway to these corrupt billionaires. The current dem leadership has not shown much backbone in the past but I sure hope they can find it on this issue.

5. My goodness, how pathetic is that? |
|
Hopefully this is the undoing of the "greed is good" philosophy; that's what is at their core. No sense of balance.

8. Listening to the WP Journal on CSPAN2 |
|
and a caller just said that the CEOs of these companies are Democrats and that all their donations go to Democrats and then she mentioned Clinton (of course). The Journal guy asked "Where are you getting this information?" and the caller says "Its well known" or something like that.
Sheesh.
