Bernanke says bankers' pay needs closer scrutiny

Noting that "poorly designed compensation policies can create perverse incentives that can ultimately jeopardize the health of the banking organization," Bernanke, speaking to a gathering of community bankers in Phoenix, touched on a subject that's causing outrage on Capitol Hill and across the country.
