The government should never had started the bail outs. If people makes mistakes in business they should be the ones that fixes it. Now everything is real messy! Thanks to the government.

I would like to see anyone in the Senate,Representatives,Oval house take a half pay cut, live with the new health reform, and retire on SSA, and see how far they would go. Of course the changes, doesn't affect their retirement, their income, or annual pay. But we live by their decisions. We pay the bail outs. So cutting executive base pay, and bonuses, will make everything right, Right!

Yea, yea, they will order them to cut their huge bonuses and salaries by one cent and technically that is a cut.
What a deal, in the real world when a business manager or executive destroys a company with stupidity the company goes under and the exec has to go job hunting after he is fired. In the world of the wealthy the exec keeps his job and gets a huge salary and bonus.
I love the wealthy, they are so cool!

$200K total compensation for top executives in these companies? So obviously Obama and his cronies want these companies to fail and have to continue to seek government aid. Great. A whole new welfare sect. The enviy that the dems and their nutty liberal followers for anyone that is more skilled, more intelligent, and makes more money thatn them os offensive. Anyone who does not see that this is an obvious step towards socialism is a complete moron. Get the idiots in goverment out of private business.

Now do something similiar for non bailed uot companines

CEO pay in this country is way out of control, and the time is past due to trickle down that wealth.

Lets face the the fact that if we the people have more money to spend the economy will be better off. Focusing these monies into the hands of a greedy few is a major reason why our country is circling the drain

It was our money that bailed them out, so why should they be allowed to pocket it for themselves?

If they don't like it, let them go somewhere else to look for a job -- like one of those imaginary countries that has a lower tax rate than the US does for its ultra-rich (good luck with that!).

It is WEALTHFARE for the rich, ever since Reagan. The rich get richer and everyone else struggles to get by. The concentration of wealth and power in the hands of fewer and fewer of the privileged elite is at the root of the problem and will be the ruin of this country.

And to the EARLY SHOW.....I hope this is a permanent thing
CEO's of these large Companies get MILLIONS and you know they do.
This goes on in the Media, Sports, and Big Business....there has to be a limit. A baseball player signing for 43 Million for 3 yrs that is so discusting...No body is worth that kind of money. A soldier can put his life on the line, or a policeman or fireman, but if your a sports player....MILLIONS...it is evil to make that kind of money when your country is scrapping for Healthcare, food, and ways to pay their bills. I cannot believe this has not been mention once about SPORTS and MEDIA and the money involved. If the average AMERICAN knew the bottom dollar in these area's "THEY WOULD BE SHOCKED".
