I don't see eye to eye with Cavuto on some issues. This one however hits straight home. Look at that arrogant prick use the same excuse many liberals use on this forum.

If the companies want aid, then they follow the Government's rules about the aid. If not, then they don't get aid... that's pretty simple.

So if I give you the money, lets call it to help you out because you suck at doing business. Then after the loan is done I get all in your face telling you how to right it when I have even less qualification then you. This should have been presented BEFORE the bailout.

Besides this is stupid as fuck. They are going to implode the company.

It's not stupid at all. It prevents unreasonable compensation. As Mr. Grayson explained, it's not the job of the legislative branch to define what is and isn't unreasonable. If you think that the government will use this to take all your monies, then you're a paranoid idiot.

What is unreasonable compensation? Do you know? No you have no fucking idea. Neither does Geither. What if they find that AIG pays too much to their reg employees. What then? You think there will be a public outcry when he screws them? No. They will all pack up and leave. The government will have a huge company on its hand's but no people who know how to run it.

Really I can't fucking believe that you would so dumb as to defend this legislation. There is so much potential for abuse there that it is by no right paranoid to question why they would even dare to do this. What pisses me off is that this congress critter was one of the people that worked the bonuses into the bailout in the first place and is now fucking sputtering all over.

Don't mistake me, I am against 'bail outs' period. However, taking the logic of many that are now cheerleading governments efforts to impose conditions afterwards to its logical conclusion I hereby humbly submit:

All those individuals who have ever taken any form of government assistance, including subsidized low interest loans like mortgages, student loans, etc. or welfare, foodstamps, WIC, etc. must immediately and forever more not spend any money on: fatty foods, alcohol, salt, vacations, low mileage vehicles, airplane fare, cruises, cable tv, satellite tv, cell phones, new houses, old houses....ad infinitum. Get the correlation?

Seriously, I can't believe Fox News is against large government. You learn something new everyday I suppose.

You are a pure and simple idiot. Once you give gov't any kind of power, it will not give it up. It's not a question of gov't restricting a secretary's pay; that probably won't happen, but by giving Geithner carte blanche to set any standards he wants on a case by case basis, you are effectively giving Treasury more power and not actually enacting any legislation. Congress isn't supposed to allocate governmental power around; governmental powers and limitations are explicit in the Constitution.

Government and the banking cronies got us in this mess, do you really think they are going to properly oversee what's going on? If gov't had any intention of truly restricting the use of bailout money, they would have implemented those restrictions months ago. You are being handed a few token heads, like the CEO of GM, in order to make you think the gov't 'has your back' (and gives a shit how your bailout money is spent). This is a smokescreen just like the AIG bonuses was a smokescreen.

Geithner is part of the same group of people supposedly 'misusing' bailout money. He's not going to do jack shit. Yet you think its paranoid to think gov't won't do a good job of this....... Moron.

Bailouts were a huge mistake. This kind of legislation compounds that mistake. Idiots like you unable to see the consequences of these actions in the long term ...... loads that shoulda been swallowed.

[Ziegler]

And the provisions...I believe are for taking anymore money going forward, not retroactively. (I could be wrong on that admittedly)

So long as it is for going forward...I am perfectly fine with it and any more draconian restrictions they want to put on the companies. Hopefully, everybody will leave and the company will go bankrupt. Or companies will rather see bankruptcy as a better alternative to government interference.

Ex Post Facto...hasnt that been generally accepted as bad since like...the magna carta?
