I'm of two minds on this:
1) How the hell is it the Government's right, even if they DO give money to these companies, to make demands on CEO compensation? Last time I checked, neither the Executive branch nor the Legislative branch aren't given any such powers in the Constitution! Let the marketplace will sort it out.
and
2) ALL CEO's compensations should be limited, anyhow. I think that the gap between the normal salary in a company and the CEO's salary has gotten way out of hand. I think that it should be limited to some multiple of the mean salary in the company. The way it exists now, the CEO does a GOOD job by keeping the workers' salaries low, or by shipping jobs overseas, where labor is cheap. By limiting salaries to a multiple of the mean workers' salaries, there is actually an incentive to keep jobs in the US!
And then my head explodes from the conflict.
