Bail Outs

As part of the Times Union, reader advocate's e mail group, I, along with close to 2,000 other readers, are occasionally sent questions by either Wayne Ezell or a reporter, on pertinent issues.  I received one today with two questions.

1.  Should the government cap CEO compensation for the heads of firms taken over by the government or receiving substantial help from the bailout?

2.  Are CEO's in the private sector paid too much?

To my way of thinking, these are two hot button questions with multiple sides, no easy answers & very few valid answers.  Any comments?
