re: Sen. Claire McCaskill unloads....
I'm with her 100%. I think people are afraid to speak up about anything as if they feel powerless or something. We have had some major boondoggles rolled over on us the past 8 years and most people feel powerless to stop it. However, some still have some common sense in them and aren't afraid to speak it.

Today, McCaskill introduced legislation that would cap the executive pay at any company getting federal bailout money at $400,000. (The same salary of the US President.) "They'd have to limit that executive compensation for everyone in their company until they pay back every dime to the taxpayers," she said.
