Can we just start over?

Here is a question, if Congress passes the automaker bailout (against the wishes of the majority of people, just like the Wall Street bailout), can we vote to vacate their seats and put new people in there? Since we are now on this whole new change kick, let's get some new blood in the legislature. Worst case, if we have to wait (and why should we?), let's vote them all out in next election and start over with some new folks. At this point, I would like to nominate myself to represent Ohio in the Senate.

Is it a problem when the CEO of Ford has an annual salary of $28 million? Also, when the leaders of the big 3 went to Congress to beg for money yesterday, did anyone else here they all arrived on their private luxury jets? I mean, if you are going to beg for money, wouldn't it make more sense from a perception standpoint to show up on a Greyhound? Or at least fly commercial?

Great point. I'd love to see you run. I see one problem. Money. The decks always stacked against the poor guy. A little math. Take the 28 million the CEO made (a little excessive to say the least) and consider paying him 500K. It's a tough job running a fortune 500 into the crapper. That leaves enough money for 1000 great paying employees. I love how corporations make cuts and fly private jets. Those trips to Washington cost several more jobs.
