Angry senator wants pay cap on Wall Street "idiots"

One day after President Barack Obama ripped Wall Street executives for their "shameful" decision to hand out $18 billion in bonuses in 2008, Congress may finally have had enough.

An angry U.S. senator introduced legislation Friday to cap compensation for employees of any company that accepts federal bailout money. Under the terms of a bill introduced by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, no employee would be allowed to make more than the president of the United States.

Obama's current annual salary is $400,000.

"We have a bunch of idiots on Wall Street that are kicking sand in the face of the American taxpayer," an enraged McCaskill said on the floor of the Senate. "They don't get it. These people are idiots. You can't use taxpayer money to pay out 18 billion dollars in bonuses."

McCaskill's proposed compensation limit would cover salaries, bonuses and stock options.

Of course, if Obama and McCaskill had any idea how to get the US out of the credit crunch that is deepening the recession every day, they wouldn't need to waste time trying to deflect the public's anger from their inability to their jobs competently to criticism's of how banking executives are doing their jobs.

Sounds fine to me.

If you are using your own money then by all means give out the fattest bonus checks you can but it's an insult to do the same with money WE put in their tin cup.

Damn straight we should insist they take pay cuts, before paying out bonuses with taxpayer money.

Reportedly, Obama's top economic advisors, Geithner and Summers, are trying to avoid taking over the banks because they believe that even after eliminating all the excesses government banks operate less efficiently than privately owned banks and that government ownership of the banks will wipe out a huge amount of private investment capital the value of privately owned shares, and do nothing to help us out of this recession.

Indeed, I said before on a similar thread, if companies take the money, they are taking the strings. Better idea is to solve their problems now, rather than even larger problems later.

Interesting. Do they believe government workers use creative accounting and altered documentation to bolster their books to make those multi million dollar salaries too?

 

[AVG-JOE]

I still say we should turn The Fed and every branch of every bank that has taken bail-out money into "We, The People Not-For-Profit Credit Union" and tell the banking class to go fuck themselves.

you do realize that if a private small business used government accounting rules on its books that the owner of that business would most likely be indicted for tax fraud don't you?

so you see the government is guilty of creative accounting on a whole new level.

Does anyone know of a legal reason why We, The People can't own dividend paying stock in B of A?

How about General Motors? Is there a reason We, The People can't own 1/3 of GM? How about The People of the Great State of Michigan? Those dividends might go a long way toward paying for education so that GM has a steady supply of workers who can speak American and cipher numbers.

If nothing else, imagine the scene at the shareholders meeting when GM has to ask The People of Michigan and / or The American People for shareholders permission to move a plant to Mexico.

Is there a law, or are We stupid? Perhaps there is a stupid law... wouldn't be the first.
