“It’s those on Wall Street who are saying “God damn to everyone else, I’m making sure I’m taken care of because it’s going to get worse before it gets better.” Don’t underestimate Wall Street. They’re not clueless; they know exactly what they’re doing and why. And that is why they can’t be trusted with bail out money, as has already been proven.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

President Obama<\/a>\u00a0announced on Wednesday a salary cap of $500,000 for top executives at companies that receive the largest amounts of bailout money, calling the step an expression not only of fairness but of “basic common sense.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
