  These companies were bailed out with OUR MONEY. Or don't you folks realize that? Or would you prefer to hand them your hard earned tax dollars no questions asked?
  
  Of course the Treasury has the right, written right into the law lending the money in the first place, to determine executive salaries.

  These companies will have to hire people far less competent than the idiots that got them in this mess.
  
  These companies need to be monitored but not to the degree that the Obama admin wants.

  I didn't agree with bail outs period. Yes I realize they were bailed out with tax payer money. Yes, I realize these conditions were written into the stimulus. Now the Governments justification was that these companies were "Too Big" to fail. Think about that. These companies were so important that if they failed the entire economy would colapse. Thats the implication, isn't it? So going forward we will pay the management working for the most important business' in our economy the least. Now if there had been an incentive based system, I could agree to that. The Congress has spent just as recklessly, why isn't the pay czar going after them? Do I understand? Yes, I just don't agree with it.

  I'd like to know where you got that information.
  
  In exchange for an eighty-five billion dollar loan (now 120 billion) AIG gave up 79.9% of it's ownership to the Federal Reserve Bank.
  
  Bank of America received a total of 45 billion in federal loans. There is a secret MOU between the bank and the Federal Government. Apparently it's so secret which branch of the government is part of that secret. It's possible the government now owns the bank. The Treasury has ordered BofA to fire it's board and install a new one.
  
  GMAC was lent 12.5 billion by the Treasury. The Treasury now own controlling stock in GMAC. This includes voting rights.
  
  Since the government now owns these companies they have to be profitable for the money to be recovered.
  
  I don't know that this is such a good idea, but it does give the government the right, since it has controlling interest, to determine who sits on the board and what the executives are paid.

  Pursuit of socialism will only end in Communism. Lenin himself said that.

Which is why they are further along the socialist to communist continuum than we are. How would you keep socialism from devolving to Communism?

  Nothing like trying to control the debate. Market forces in the guise of Google stomped MS. Much like MS stomped IBM in the "OS wars" twenty years ago. You're talking about an immature market anyway. PC's until recently were at the stage car companies were at before Ford introduced the assembly line.
  
  We now have OpenOffice, a free office suite, Firefox, a free non-Microsoft web browser and more and more people are moving to open source architecture. These are the characteristics of a mature market. Plenty of alternatives and now the big boys have to innovate or die.
  
  As for your second assertion, it's a false one. The reason you don't see more competition in Alabama's insurance field is because of state regulation of insurance companies. Only "domestic" Alabama companies can do business in Alabama, "foreign" companies have to pay for and receive permission from the State of Alabama to do business there. Now if you were a "native" insurance company, wouldn't you do your utmost to convince the state not to allow "foreign" competitors into the market? That, my friend, is an example of how states limit competition in order to benefit domestic firms. This has the effect, as you know, of keeping rates high and screwing the customers of that industry. So that's not really an example of a free market, it's an example of corporatism.

  Those other systems would run on what machines? Microsoft wanted a monopoly in this immature market and tried to bully the competition by requiring windows to be packaged with all new machines. Anti-trust action by the U.S. and other governments thwarted their efforts. Open Office and others would not exist in a truly capitalist environment.
  
  Yes, using state law is one of the means currently available to monopolize a market, but without an anti-trust exemption (communist plot?) it wouldn't be.

  Some people actually do read history. Besides what's wrong with bringing up Hitler? The Holocaust wasn't the only evil perpetuated by fascists, only the most visible. It really becomes illuminating when you read about how Western "democracies", or their leaders heaped adulation on guys like Mussolini and Hitler in the early years.
  
  They were regarded as saviors of captivation, but what they really did was usher in the age of corporatism. Our own economy has much in common with that of the Third Reich. National socialism is still socialism. Fascist states grouped industries into cartels and got the industries on board by erecting barriers to entry to eliminate competition. They engaged in huge "public works" programs and things like the autobahn. Hey that sounds kind of like what Hoover and FDR did. Grouping industries into cartels sure sounds like the National Recovery Act and "public works" sounds a heck of a lot like the WPA. What they did with the autobahn sounds a heck of a lot like the Tennessee Valley Authority and Hoover Dam.
  
  None of which did anything to get us out of the Depression.
  
  So yeah, you can learn a lot by reading history and looking beyond the "historical myth" we're taught in school.

  Well if you lean right then there's something very wrong with it. Just ask any of the Republican I debated eight years ago. According to them 'as soon as you bring up Hitler, you've lost the argument.'
  
  There was even an American Nazi party...during the war.
  
  Ah, no it isn't. National Socialism helped companies which in turn hired workers. It was about as far afield from communism as you can get. Corporations did very well under the Nazis, but the individual was expected to give all to the nation.
  
  Very true to a point. Who benefits from Hoover Dam? Not the government. Who benefits from a national highway system. Not the government. It most certainly is business right down to independent truckers. And all of FDRs programs had a finite life. A sunset clause. As they should have.
  
  It certainly took people off the bread-lines and put them to work. If I have a choice between being unemployed and being in a depression I'd opt for being employed during a depression, not unemployed regardless of the nation's status.
  
  Or you can read history and spin it so severly that ANYTHING looks like communism or socialism with just a bit of work.

  The key here is National. Germany was an outsider in Europe after the first world war. They were basically isolated. A political ideology based on Socialism while Bolstering Nationalism(thats Facism IMO) was the only way the Third Reich could have accomplished anything. Don't be fooled, some corporations did very well during the war. Those that were a part of the Nazi party. However not everyone in Germany were doing so well. Once the actual hostilities started very few private citizen's or corporations were thriving.

  That sound suspiciously how our federal government has supported big business over small business, will wonders never cease?
  
  Ron, MS was able to do that because Windows was easy to use. Much easier than any other system out there at the time. They were smart because they tied the operating system to PC architecture, not like Apple who arguably had a better system, but it was more expensive because Apple used a proprietary hardware system which did not allow for economies of scale, thus lowering prices like you saw in the PC market. That's how corporations in a free market are penalized by trying to operate a monopoly without the backing of a state.
  
  Most people at the time never used a computer before. I liked Windows because it was much easier than the operating system I cut my teeth on, DOS. If anything the development of Windows spurred investment and development in the computer field much more than it would have been had a user friendly operating system not been available.
  
  If anything, the anti-trust case only diverted funds to the government and away from Microsoft who could have used that money to spur more innovation and advance computing technology. That's the unseen part of the anti-trust laws. All in all, the conventional wisdom concerning anti-trust is wrong. Especially when you consider that "conventional wisdom" once said that the stock market might hit 65,000 or that housing prices never go down. Oops. Often times conventional wisdom is wrong.
  
  Enjoy your free market while you have it. Talk to you later.

  Looks like the Treasury wont tell if they'll accept money back or if they did, who gave the money back. Kind of strange behavior for a program that is supposed to safeguard our money. Why would they not accept the money back and why would they not release the names of banks that paid back the money. Wouldn't that restore confidence in the soundness of those banks?
  
  Especially telling is this part of the article:
  
  Hmmm. Curiouser and curiouser. The TARP funds were supposed to help banks get "toxic assets" of their books. Why give money to healthy banks? The money wasn't used to get those "assets" of their books but to buy preferred stock in other banks. So we went along with the politicians on this boondoggle and it would seem that, yes, Congress is attempting to use the TARP funds to control banks. That's why healthy banks got the funds too. You can't use TARP to control the banking system unless you have most of the banks in this nation drinking the TARP kool-aid. That's why the Treasury won't tell anyone if they're accepting funds back and why they won't release the names of the banks they "might" have allowed to pay the money back.
  
  Just so you know that article was by CNN (Communist News Network, as my dad likes to call it), not op ed or *gasp* Fox.

If our banks are doomed to being run by incompetents, AND they owe our government tons o'money. Wouldn't we prefer that the banks pay their incompetent execs less money, therefore we, the taxpayers could (theoretically) recoup the loan money sooner?

This is obviously a concession to the blood-thirsty public. We're suffering and didn't get bailout money from the government. So those that did get bailout money should suffer too. It is an attempt to impose some "fairness" on a system that is not based on fairness.

What does any of the last series of comments have to do with whether or not compensation should be controlled by the government?
Well lets look at whats been said. President Obama wanted transparency in government. However his administration has engaged in "secret" agreements with banks. Transparency? Doesn't seem like it. In fact our money was offered to or forced on failing business' by the US government. Remember its NOT the governments money. Its OURS. In fact, I think we all suspect that the real reason the czar is dictating pay for executives in these companies is because the government basically owns them. See how this has worked out? Follow, OUR money the "GOVERNMENTS" Bank/Car Company etc. So now its left to perception. If you believe its the Governments Bank, then the Government owe's the American tax payer 700 Billion. If its the TAX payer's bank and the Government is just being a good stuard of it then shouldn't the government be doing what ever possible to ensure this 700 Billion invested is returned? If you believe the later, how does brow beating CEO's help, if they had nothing to do with the collapse? This is where ones perception can meet a dangerous and ugly reality.
