Frank: "Problem With Executive Compensation" Is "Perverse Incentives"
FOX News: A senior House Democrat wants to toughen President Barack Obama's new restrictions on Wall Street pay by banning salaries and bonuses that encourage what the government considers "inappropriate risk."
The proposal by Rep. Barney Frank, which will be considered Tuesday by the House Financial Services Committee, would give the government unprecedented power in how financial executives are rewarded.
Obama has shed away from such direct intervention, even as administration officials argued that excessive compensation in the private sector contributed to the financial crisis.
