CONGRESSIONAL CEOs
Earlier this year, the Democrats passed a $787 billion “stimulus” bill that allowed 165 million of our tax dollars to be paid in bonuses for the same AIG employees who steered the company into insolvency. I voted against this bill because it was crafted in secret, rushed to the floor, and Members of Congress and the American public were not even given time to read it. Today, House Democrats brought the “Executive Compensation Bill” to the floor in an attempt to correct their past mistake. This legislation gives the Treasury Secretary and Congress the power to define what level of compensation amounts to “unreasonable” or “excessive.” I voted against this bill because I believe the government has done enough harm already. Secretary Geithner and Members of Congress should quit their day jobs if they are interested in becoming CEOs of public companies. Given their track record, I doubt they would be hired. Today I questioned whether the House Democrats had read the stimulus bill and asked why they did not afford the American people more time to read the largest spending bill in our nation’s history.
