  • House bill would put multitrillion dollar portfolio...

    under the control of people making less than many 20-somethings in finance.

    (sorry for the fox link; it was the first google result I found)



    The House bill would suspend the 2011 pay packages for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives. Instead, the FHFA would be required to come up with a compensation system for executives that is based on a government pay scale.

    The committee adopted an amendment that would use the pay scale that applies to independent financial regulators, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, which allows for higher pay than at most federal agencies.

    Rep. Al Green, who offered the amendment, said this would have the effect of limiting the highest salaries to about $260,000 per year.

        The House of Representatives Financial Services Committee approved the legislation 52-4


        The Republicans have 52 of the 56 members of this committee?

          I looked it up and they have 33 out of 60. All you've proven is that at least 82% of the voting Democrats were in favor of it. Republicans

                    What does Al Green have to do with this again?
                    There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                          To be fair, they are paying a lot of money for garbage men in this case.
