While CEO of PepsiCo in 2008, Indra Nooyi earned a total compensation of $14,917,701

Per forbes, 2010 compensation was $19+ million.

Lay off close to 9000 employees and her compensation should skyrocket.

How wonderful it is to see this country growing and growing and growing in unemployment and losing jobs, NOT wonderful at all, unless you own a business and are a CEO. For a country that is showing economic growth I'd like to know what is growing besides government and unemployment and debt.

We put people out of jobs to show business growth and prosperity and raise the value in the stock market but this kind of growth is fictitious and non productive and economically repulsive.

The more we grow in borrowing and financial debt the worse the economy is. The next failure will be so broad destructive it will make the housing bust look like a beach party at high tide.

I guess Obama has to reduce his job increases by 8700.
