Morning all! This is just wonderful:

Administration: Rein in pay in US private sector

Somehow, we all knew this was coming. It’s total, utter insanity. This administration is rapidly destroying any hope of real economic recovery.

This isn’t about companies that take bailout funds. It’s any publicly held company. And it’s probably only a matter of time before our new “pay czar” is given the authority to control the salaries at even privately held companies - “because they may have a negative impact on the economy.”
