If the federal government's bailing you out, then you're not going to make more than President Barack Obama. At least if Sen. Claire "Bear" McCaskill has her way. She's introducing a bill right now -- on CSPAN 2: The Deuce! -- that would cap pay for employees of private companies taking federal bailout money. Employees couldn't make more than Obama's $400,000 salary until their company stopped receiving federal dollars. McCaskill's people say the salary cap would also include bonuses and stock options.

What a fantastic idea. If those companies cut their salaries, there will be more money for lobbyists and campaign contributions! Boy howdy, leave it to a Missourian to know how to �fix� things.
