As a voting member of the VRWC, I have little problem with this decision as it is effectively an owner of the company "the gubment" making decisions for the companies they now "own" a stake in.

Why bother rewriting the tax code? There's nothing in the TARP law that forbids the Treasury from witholding any further TARP payments until executives pay their bonuses back.

Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963
