I was watching Barney Frank this morning on CNBC, again marveling at his, while not succinct, certainly compelling responses to questions.  He is able to put things in a larger context.  It\u2019s worth hearing how he defends government control of wages in companies taking government bailout funds and the greater say he wants to give shareholders.<\/p>\n
