It mentions CEOs of Ford and Gm willing to work for $1 dollar a year- if only bankers were also willing to take this pay cut- of course they will already be rich people with adequate massive savings, but it shows how desperate they really are to be willing to take a year at 1 dollar if they get the bailout money, of course not likely they would have to as if government offers bailout no doubt they won’t make them work for $1
“The chief executives of Ford and GM have even offered to work for $1 a year if Congress approves the emergency aid.”

We have Christmas to celebrate for the right reasons, no matter how poor we might be.
