What I don't get is that with all those people up there, they can't find a more precise, surgical way to attack this problem, and maybe without (I know, quite a concept coming up here)...spending ANY of the taxpayer's money at all? Watching the movie Wall Street again today reminded me that these corporate shenanigans have been going on for quite a while...oh, and the bail outs (remember the savings & loans mess back in the '80s?). In particular the part when Gordon Gecko is addressing stockholders and pointing out that the dozens of CEOs had no real stake in their own company and could parachute out at any time. If there was any regulation beyond sheer crookedness, I'd suggest that company officers get bonuses and parachutes in the form of stock. If their company does badly, they feel the pain and vice versa. But, the major problem recently is the Barney Frank, Fannie/Freddie/CRE Communist-induced mess. Of course the Republicans weren't going to go against it. Advocating not giving pofolk a few points under prime for a few years so they can enjoy the American Dream would certainly not have been realistic policy.
