Who the hell is Barney Frank that he has such authority?

All joking and insults aside, is he such an incredible expert on these matters that he should be tossing around his considerable weight on these subjects?

If he were not a congressman, would he have the portfolio to get an important job in the banking industry, connections aside, based on merit?

I honestly don’t know if he has any expertise in the field, the thing that makes me doubt it strongly is he was a major player in getting us into this mortgage fiasco.

Sowell explains it perfectly:
Just as everyone seemed to be a military expert a couple of years ago, when it was chic to say that the "surge" in Iraq would not work, so today everyone seems to be an expert on executive pay.
