OMFG!  The sky is falling!

Millions of Americans work for companies being bailed out?  If the government is bailing out these companies, aren't the employees de facto government employees?  Do you take issue with the government setting salaries for their own workers?

I don't care either way because I don't work for a company that will get any government money and you shouldn't care becasue, well, you don't have a salary anyway!   :biggrin:

The government sets my salary. If I didn't want that to happen, I'd get a different job.
