I had just posted on Geithner’s latest power grab, being advanced out of Barney Frank’s committee, when lo… behold… the gullible newbie author of this piece ‘o’ turd legislation – Rep. Alan Grayson from the Disney World area of Florida – tried to go up against Cavuto. And if this isn’t Disney “fantasy”, nothing is.

Talk about “above his pay grade”…. it’s hard to believe this man is on the taxpayer’s payroll at all. It’s another “listen and weep” eight minutes as this loser tries to explain why this legislation, putting salary and bonus control of *all* employees receiving *any* federal assistance in the hands of the Treasury Secretary, is in the nation’s best interest.

Well I guess all of the Democratic supporting CEO’s can be happy now. Some tax-avoiding dip-shit is going to legislate his salary and bonus. Nice going.

Tom… it’s *all* salaries and bonuses for *all* employees. That’s CEO down to the mail runner, marketing/ad types to the data entry clerks.

All to be decided by the Treasury Secretary. It can easily be said he is truly the most powerful man in the world now. He who controls the money….

Damn, what a meat grinder. Between this and Beck slamming the CT Attorney General yesterday, Fox seems to be the only network that is devoted to harsh criticism of the ruling DC class. Perhaps that’s why their ratings are way up.

The democrat facing Cavuto was a pitiful example of a politician, but then he’s a democrat and they have all became pitiful excuses as Americans. Most of them are homosexual drunks and drug abusers so maybe they are brain damaged by STD’s.

That would have been too appropo, Mike’sA. LOL Had to look it up. Mickey’s “birthday” is November 18, 1928… his first screen debut. But frankly, da mouse could be a better brain trust than this bozo, Grayson. He’s unbelievably “stepford”.

I think I’m going to be ill. The biggest thieves of the American taxpayers are our GOVERNMENT. There is no comparison between a secretary and the President of a company, somebody should tell the Congressman to check standard job descriptions. Has he ever READ the Constitution?

Tax Cheat Geithner is going to determine how much I can earn? When is he going to tell me I can’t do what I’ve done for a living for 30 years and I have to do something else?

Honestly, who among us would trust Geithner to clean up dog poop at the doggie park, let alone dictate what we all can earn!

To paraphrase the congressman: This bill will protect the taxpayers from people who are ruining the company they work for and threatening the economy. I’m reading through it, and I don’t see anywhere in this bill where it protects us from the crooks in US Government that our stealing our future!

USMCdaughter, this bill in particular applies to the companies that are receiving federal aid… TARP or otherwise. However if Obama and Geithner do get their “resolution authority” power thru to assume FDIC type powers over any other financial institutions and/or publicly traded company Obama, Geithner plus a third person decides is a national economic risk, this law will then apply to *that* company as well.

Which is the point Cavuto was trying to make. These are broad and vague powers, allowing for a single, entity (*unelected* one to boot) to decide what is “excessive” when restructuring what they consider is a risk…. applied for now to the known bailed out companies, and to be applied in the future to whomever they decide needs a bailout.

Mr. Wisdom sez:

That’s because you’re reading the wrong document, Wisdom, my friend. The correct one is the one labeled the “Constitution of the United States” across the top…

What most people don’t seem to understand when they are looking at this bill, especially since the focus is on big bonuses in big companies, is that millions upon millions of people work for small businesses that have received aid from the SBA. And don’t forget the farms who receive subsidies. And the research companies. And the manufactures. And the energy companies. EVERY company, of ANY kind, that has taken ANY aid from the government. This bill puts every single one of those businesses, and the tens of millions who work for them, under the potential oversight umbrella of one single unelected man in the Treasury.

“I am a trader. I earn what I get in trade for what I produce. I ask for nothing more or nothing less than what I earn. That is justice. I don’t force anyone to trade with me; I only trade for mutual benefit. Force is the great evil that has no place in a rational world. One may never force another human to act against his/her judgment. If you deny a man’s right to Reason, you must also deny your right to your own judgment. Yet you have allowed your world to be run by means of force, by men who claim that fear and joy are equal incentives, but that fear and force are more practical.”

Bullets. Check.
Fuel storage. Check.
Silver and gold. Check.
Food storage. Check.
Supply of tea. Check.

Bring it on!

PS. May I suggest that everyone visits http://www.survivalacres.com to get stocked up?

This comment should be e-mailed to Rebecca Gomez. If anyone saw Hannity’s program yesterday they would have seen her make an utter fool of herself defending the administration’s power grab, she’s all for interfering in big auto because they took our money. She obviously neglected to do the deeper thinking as you have and I will add, always do.

Now, as to the site you posted, thanks! I’m already driving my hubby nuts stocking up, bracing for what’s to come. We visit a business whenever we are in Missouri together, he gets a reprieve when I’m not with him, we call it the Amish Walmart. They buy the goods salvaged from tractor-trailor accidents and sell it at drastically reduced prices. Right now I have enough laundry detergent and toilet paper to last months, all stored in hubby’s closet.

Anyway, just love Cavuto when he goes after these clowns!!!

The beginning of the end, and we sit idly by and watch. Al Franken steals an election with the blessings of the courts, acorn does its dirt and gets away with it, Stevens (who probably is a crook) gets prosecuted by lying crooks. Barney Frank runs a homosexual prostitution ring from his house, slap on wrist. I cannot believe that I lived to see the country be beaten by Quisslings and communists from within, and we sit and watch, we deserve every thing we get.
