Capping the salaries of the bosses in banks that take advantage of bailouts



It seems that the Obama administration is going to try and impose a salary cap of $500,000 on the executives of banks that are benefitting from the bailout plan. It sounds like a good idea to me - when someone's firm is being kept afloat by taxpayer subsidy, why should they earn more than departmental heads in the civil service? It would be good if the government could try and bring in a similar policy here in the UK.
