Those who live in the Capital Building should not throw stones!

How about Bonny Fwank’s bill to give Tim “How ‘bout them taxes” Geithner control of all salaries of all companies receiving public funds? The purpose of the legislation is to "prohibit unreasonable and excessive compensation and compensation not based on performance standards," according to the bill's language. In addition, the bill gives Geithner the authority to decide what pay is "unreasonable" or "excessive." And it directs the Treasury Department to come up with a method to evaluate "the performance of the individual executive or employee to whom the payment relates." (The Washington Examiner)

Since when has the Treasury Department known anything about money? I’m not asking a stupid question. I know that the Treasury’s job is to manage the value of the US dollar but seems to me that it’s never actually been able to do that. What is even more appalling is the sheer hypocrisy of the bill. Let me quote the bill again – “prohibit unreasonable and excessive compensation and compensation not based on performance standards” to organizations receiving public funds. Hey Bonny?! Does that mean Congress too? Members of Congress receive an obscene amount of money for job performance that in any business setting would get them beaten, leave alone fired. And they get raises! What are they, union?

I have to review Ole Timmy Boys credentials again; last time I checked I don’t think I noticed anything that included “qualified to act as Almighty King of all things relating to American business”. And not to be crass, really, does Geithner have dirt on everybody in Washington? That’s the only way I can figure ANYONE gets the kind of power Congress and the NObama admin are giving this guy. Naked pictures of Pelosi and Reid “in flagrante”? – sorry for the visual! There is no way on God’s Great Green (I hate that word!) Earth that this guy can do all the things that Congress wants him to do in a day. You know what that means? Some angry Washington bureaucrat with control issues making twice what she should is going to determine the merit of a job she couldn’t even begin to understand.

One more thing…Washington is making it harder and harder for companies to do business in America. You know it’s bad when even the French are like “holy shit; we’re not even that bad!”
I gotta ask…is Massachusetts considered the dumbest state in the Union? They keep electing idiots like Kennedy and Fwank!

Hey Bonny! Get outta my pocket!
