jaydub Mach1 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 You HAD to see this coming. We are WAYYY down that slippery slope. That very credible Bawney Fwank's bill passed committe that would allow the government to determine everybody's pay at companies that took bailout funds. AND the best part is that it's retroactive. So everyone's current pay is null and void!! Good thing, too. Government has such a steller reputation when running things! How long will it be before they decide to control the pay of everyone in the country? Afterall, they DO know better than we do! We are in good hands. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics...y-42158597.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hummmmmmm.....All NEW Taxes to help the Economy should be considered a Government Bail Out "FROM THE TAX PAYERS" and therefore the Tax Payers should be able to dictate how much the Government Pay Checks are................................

Boss Doctor Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 If you come to the American tax payer for a bail-out the government should be able to dictate all of the terms. No sympathies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Pisses me off MOST is, the People that are so PRO OBAMA, they refuse to see ANYTHING wrong in what he is doing and just say the Media is twisting it all up and lying. One of my best friends is very PRO OBAMA and refuses to see the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Semantics unhhhh...that would be "no"? Saying a "bill has passed" has a VERY specific meaning. Thousands of crazy bills come out of committee and go no where each session. Using terms like that is meant to imply that this close to seriously becoming law. That said, it wouldn't bother me! If you come to the teat of the public dole you have to live by the rules to get it! So you're thinking these guys that drove these companies into the ground should be able to get money from us to make up their losses and still get their fat checks and bonuses? So why do we take the little guy that paid his taxes, worked hard, but got laid off, and slap all sorts of conditions on them for unemployment benefits at less than 50% of their pay, yet they were responsible for none of this? It can't be because the Republican party wants to give the same blank check to "Joe the Plumber" on unemployment as 11 Republican Governors have refused additional unemployment money because it would expend benefits to these lazy people that should be out looking for jobs. No better idea, give these rich guys what they need to keep their salaries, and brainwash people to say we won't get good people to manage them going forward. HELLO! These are the morons that got them into this mess! There are a lot of smart laid off people in the auto and finance industries, I think they'll manage. If not... go out of business! Seems to have been the only option for a few of my friends companies, no one bailed them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdscooby Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 What does Obama have to do with this? Your serious? I know what he meant. I did not think that this was close to passing. And personally I think the government should stay out of private enterprise. They failed so let them fail. Would it suck yes. Would it give another company a chance to make a go at it, yes. Don't care which party is in control, but with each bail out we get that much closer to socialism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it would be a sure fire way to lose the majority in the next elections, and ensure that the Dummycrats never occupy the presidency again. Governments work by pissing off a relatively few people at a time. Not enough to swing most voters. Piss off too many at once and you get thrown out.

I believe that is an automatic pay-raise that was voted into action years ago. They fail, (conveniently), to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
