"The Constitution never gave you the damn authority of telling anyone what they should make... The Constitution never gave you the authority to blythely come in here and arrogantly set pay for people you don't even know. And, you don't have the guts to come back at me and tell me what you think adequate pay range is."

Cavuto lost it.

Grilling Rep. Alan Grayson
On His Bill to restrict set wages for American workers
The Orlando Sentinel reported:
The U.S. House is expected to vote today on a measure aimed at halting the payout of "unreasonable and excessive" bonuses to employees of financial companies that received federal bailout money.Grayson refused to answer Cavuto's questions on his bill last night on FOX Business Channel.
The bill — a brainchild of U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando — would let the Treasury Department and financial regulators set standards to avoid a repeat of the outrage over AIG, the insurance giant that paid $165 million in bonuses to executives after it got more than $180 billion in bailout funds.
"We don't want people to get rich off taxpayer funds," Grayson said.
Cavuto lost it.
This was GREAT!

These people are afraid of, or want to HARNESS public anger.
Cowards and demagogues.
If we elected 468 other people in 2010 could we really do worse ..just VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUYS AND GALS
Cavuto was up there with Oreilly/Frank and Oreilly/Rivera
You can see how REAL this was.
Yeah, no shit.
And, as far as I can tell, the profanity Cavuto used was the word "damn".
Too much for Grayson's tender ears? I wonder how the tar and feathers will feel?
