CEO pay is conspicuous but corporate subsidies are a 1000 times larger than CEO pay issues. It's like when R's point out millions in "welfare queen" waste when they gave trillions in deficits and tax cuts for the richest people and institutions with a collective worth billion times the wealth of the poorest citizen.

Humans just can't imagine nine orders of magnitudes so most people just put it all into the "BIG" category. The moon seems a long way away - but if scaled to a football field level - an object 1 mile away wouldn't even be off the goal line yet. Scaled to the nearest star though, the sun is only 1 mile away with the nearest star being as far as far as the moon. Debt numbers are even more unimaginable
