Cavuto on O'Reilly - "It's a cookbook, Bill!"

[janer]

Just loved Cavuto's debate with O'Reilly over executive compensation. I have to say, that while I haven't given up on O'Reilly as some have, I get frustrated with his refusal to see the downside at times. Cavuto's "Atlas Shrugged" argument - that regulation of salaries will lead to a talent drain - is a very real one. In the news/entertainment sector, they are still so highly paid and so insulated from what I call the well-compensated working class (doctors, for example, who may make low six figures, but spend 10-15 years in training) that they don't believe over-regulation drains talent because they are not experiencing it in their own industry. Yet.
And I loved that last shot of Cavuto's - "It's a cookbook, Bill!" Gotta love a guy who reads (although he may have just seen the Twilight Zone episode).

I've always liked Cavuto. And he's right on this subject and Bill is wrong.

Bill's gonna ride that fence as long as he thinks there is that fleeting chance that he will be the Fox talking head who gets the Obama interview......after Obama quits being a whiny little priss about Fox.

The Government controlling salaries will naturally force those who are worth more money because of their ability, to be hired away by other companies.
The talent drain will cause the Government controlled company to do even worse.

Cavuto is right.

Bill gives Obama the benefit of the doubt when everything shows that he should not. I do think that he is trying to be neutral for "relationship" purposes....whatever the reason, the WH can't say he has been unfair but it is frustrating.

I liked when Bill said to Dennis Miller that they (obama, bill, miller) should have lunch...Miller replied, no......I would have no interest in that (although hypothetical) no interest at all in hearing his "talk".

Talent drains? You're kidding, right?
