President Obama’s pay caps on Wall Street are having unintended consequences throughout the economy. Analysts warn that this brain drain of executives from financial firms will inevitably release a flood of reckless, overpaid morons to other sectors of the economy.

Their concern is not entirely without warrant, according to Bob Flaterbean, a head-hunting consultant: “These guys aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, but can they bully their way into a cushy VP job at some textile company in Iowa? Yeah, definitely.”

Leaders of some industry groups are calling for the restrictions on financial pay to be repealed. Neal Patuvy, president of the Mid-Atlantic Waste Reprocessing Alliance, released a statement today saying, “Our industry supports job stability. Really. Please let these guys stay where they are. Increase taxes, subsidize them, just don’t unleash these a-holes on the rest of the economy.”

Only time will tell what effect these compensation caps and other regulatory changes have on America’s economy. But the great Wall Street Brain Drain of 2009 is sure to shake up history.
