Obama to cap executive pay


"If the taxpayers are helping you, then you’ve got certain responsibilities to not be living high on the hog." -- President Obama

Hog-less [Bloomberg]:
President Barack Obama will announce today that he’s imposing a cap of $500,000 on the compensation of top executives at companies that receive significant federal assistance in the future, responding to a public outcry over Wall Street excess.
Good. Now, if someone could school these executives on how not to bankrupt their companies we'd all be better off.
