The Obama administration is expected to slash individual compensation packages by about 50 percent for top executives at seven companies that received significant amounts of bailout money from the government. Do you agree with this move? What role should the government play, if any, when it comes to overseeing and regulating these firms? Critics of the salary cuts say limiting executive pay will hurt companies when it comes to attracting and retaining talent. Do you agree?

  • Actually, the government signed a contract with these companies when they loaned the money and there were no stipulations about salary and bonuses. Should the government be able to change the contract months later with no agreement from the other parties? If the government can destroy contract law, does this not have disastrous consequences for all of us?

  • It's about time. None of em' worth ten-cents anyway.

  • If they got help from the government by having them "borrow" money from us there should be NO bonus' or compensation.. Where is our compensation for bailing them out? BOA decided to double and triple interest rates.

    How quick they accept the money from the government yet how defensive they get for having government intervene. Cant have both.

    The last guy says it all.
