I agree with my Theta sister on this point. There should be limits on bonuses to companies who took bail out money. They should be accountable to the American people.

However, I cringe at the thought of the government mandating a salary cap . If we do it on one bill, even if it is warranted, what is going to prevent Congress from making it law for anyone to make over 400,000?

Socialism here we come...
