Bank of America forced to push through with the Merrill Lynch acquisition? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/arti...
The government once again had their hands in this pot. The whole TARP execution is yet another demonstration of the panic mode of the administration. So, my question is what is AG Cuomo going to do with this information? Or, is Bernanke and Paulson going to go scot free?

Will HR 1664 - Pay for Performance Act come into play? Will the Treasury Secretary deem these excessive?

This is a Senate rule that has been used in the past and now is hovering over the budget approval. Republicans are obviously against it because it will allow the budget to be approved without the freedom of a Republican filibuster. Critics are throwing back the argument that the Republicans too have used this rule to push their budget proposals.
Instead of all the nonsense buckering, who is going to stand up for what is right for the American people?

Whatever happened to "It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion?" I do not always agree with the politicians in place but I would like to think that they too should have the right to speak up. America is good but we have thugs in place to undermine us.

Obama promised no tax increases. In another show of their lack of honesty, they have raised the cigarette taxes to support the insurance for children. When will those who praise the administration for the feel good act of supporting health insurance for children also find they bought into a tax increase? I am afraid that people are being fed so many supposedly "positive changes" that they are not aware of the stealth restrictions slipping by them.
I wonder when people will realize that Obama is giving the country away - his appointments have blatant disregard of the constitution (the latest being Koh with his promotion of International law and move to disregard our constitution), his push for a global economy, undermining our prestige (Clinton stating the problems in Mexico are the US fault because of our drug use or the state of the world economy is because of the US).
Even the gifts he gives (the Brown DVDs, the Queen's IPod) show the disregard of the reputation of the US.

Yet another measure that increases governmental control in the free market. "The new legislation, the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009," would impose government controls on the pay of all employees -- not just top executives -- of companies that have received a capital investment from the U.S. government. The purpose of the legislation is to "prohibit unreasonable and excessive compensation and compensation not based on performance standards," according to the bill's language. That includes regular pay, bonuses -- everything -- paid to employees of companies in whom the government has a capital stake."
My questions to all: (1) Would it then be an accurate conclusion that this would include any and all the companies that will be bolstered up by the approved Stimulus Bill? Can we appropriately interpret any stimulus funds as capital investment? (2) Can this be applied to those who employ union workers?
