Amerikanska politiker protesterar högljutt mot president George Bush´s och finansminister Henry Paulson plan:
Den ger finansministern allt för stor makt. Han och hans departement skulle kunna sitta och välja och vraka vilka bostadslån som skulle köpas och av vilka och till vilket pris.
Och varför vill finansminister Paulsson att lagförslaget får inte inbegripa beslut om att bankdirektörernas löner skall sänkas.
Nej det förslaget var för utmanande:
Without some limitations on CEO compensation and compensation for the other top executives, this bill is going to be rejected not just by the Congress but by the country,’’ Frank said today in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
Detta skriver journalist Alison Vekshin på Bloombergs hemsida:
Lawmakers made it clear'' the U.S. should get stock warrants so that if the company becomes profitable, we get more than the general share for taking these risks,’’ and Paulson agreed, Frank told reporters today in Washington. Negotiators support letting Treasury use the authority while Congress writes oversight rules, Frank said in a Bloomberg Television interview.
Frank and Dodd have proposed changes that include strengthening foreclosure-prevention efforts, curbing executive pay for companies that need the U.S. to buy their assets and expanding oversight of the Treasury program. Paulson has opposed limits on executive pay.
