SAY WHAT?

The White House "experts"now stake their claim to determining who's-paid-what in business across America: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Administration-Rein-in-pay-apf-15500519.html?.v=6
Oh sure, they're mostly talking about keeping executive pay in line at companies dining at the national bailout trough... for now. But today's report that Obama advisors are looking in to other compensation is very disturbing. And dangerous. It's also none of Uncle Sam's business. And we'll now have a national "Pay Czar", too. Add this latest "interest" (aka "meddling") in private enterprise to the parade of other government power grabs in recent weeks... including trashing of contracts. Hugo Chavez must be proud.

We'll talk more about the economy (and then some) with Gov. Mitt Romney, tomorrow morning at 7:05 Pacific on 1170AM KCBQ and http://www.kcbq.com/

TILE FLAP UPDATE: There may have been some guidelines for the tiles placed at Sage Canyon school, but several participants didn't know about them.
There was, apparently, a blog noting tiles should reflect the curriculum. Fine, but again the people selling the tiles didn't make that clear. And my listener who's told her kids tile (with "Jesus" on it) has to come down even asked the powers that be if it was OK to do it. She was told it was fine. And again, other participants haven't followed the subtle guideline either. Stay tuned...

IT'S TIME TO WORRY...

... when government exercises control over things that are none of its business. Here's the New York Times blurb about the latest: "The Obama administration will call for increased oversight of executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies as part of a sweeping plan to overhaul financial regulation, government officials said." And "other companies"? What's to stop Uncle Sam from trying to grab the reins of everything? Too many Americans are caught up in the populist rants about AIG et al... mostly hyped-up emotion that leads to giving up liberty for... well, for what? How private companies pay executives and run their businesses is not the business of the government.
