I'm not sure you fully understand the pickle your guys left us in here Tom. You've lost your right to outrage because of your support of policies that damn near destroyed our nation. Well, you haven't really lost it of course because of freedom of speech but you've certainly lost all of your credibility. Your posts are nothing more than mere amusement these days.

Just because a rule is in place that says that contracts can be rewritten if compensation is deemed excessive does not mean that it will be used across the board. In a year, if we see former high level managers of AIG in soup lines, you can boast that you're right. My guess is the rules are being put in place because widespread abuse and greed is being found in the bailed out corporations. Would you have them just ignore it and keep throwing money away?

By the way, the interest the government is taking in these companies belongs to you as a citizen. The power is still in your hands through elected representation. It's how a republic works.
