I keep thinking that as well. It is a long way off till 2010, and the damage the government could do by then might be too late.

Why is it that the government is looking to set the pay of anyone in the private sector and the taxpayers have no say in how the government pay is set. Barney Frank had the following statement:

"It is not the government's business to discourage risk taking," said Frank, D-Mass. "But neither should we allow systems which have existed up until now whereby decision-makers are handsomely rewarded if they take big risks that pay off, but suffer no penalty whatsoever if those risks result in losses to the company."

Where are the penalties to those people in government who ran up the huge deficits that they are creating?
