Hands Off Goldman Bonuses

My second comment:
The bonus packages should remain, but with a "slight" modification as follows:
1- Any bonus payment above $10,000 would be payed in U.S. coins preferably in nickles, recipients would have to personally pick up the funds at a local post office passport ID required(They need the business)
2- If the bonus recipient prefers the bonus money could be placed in a gov. run fund for 5 years minimum for 3% p.a. interest to build low income housing or to rebuild bankrupt auto firms maintaining jobs for the working class.
3- All wages would be set off the Presidents pay, which would be the highest in the country $500K max. However, the first year the Pres. is in office is usually "on the job training" so, the President his salary would be adjusted for that say $150K and rising to $500K if the he/she manages to prevent(s) war.
4- Inflation would be indexed as follows: Inflation up 2% p.a.
Congress and appointees pay would be indexed "down" 2% p.a.
5- Elections and electioneering would be have to be completed in 3 months max.

Rahm is/was right:.OK,.. It's time we gave him/them what he/they want!. A crisis!...Hmmm!..Let's start a revolution by:

Re-instituting the U.S. Constitution into law(What "a revolutionary" idea!)

1-Stiff penalty of jail time (life) for "any" violation(s) such as declaring war, without the proper legal process.
2-
2- Allowing "all" citizens to bear arms, as now specified. (Just to remind these thugs, that we/they live in a dangerous world and self defence might be required)

Why Is Everybody Selling as Buffett Is Loading Up?

Nice pufff piece on Buffett, sure he's a good investor but now he's also a "media hog" going on every TV show to announce how he's investing. Playing the part of "awh shucks" good ol country boy. The posturing for the media was embarrasing to watch especially for a man of his stature.
