...Rubin served in the Clinton administration. It was Rubin who helped push through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that effectively allowed the merger of Travelers and Citicorp. A year later, Weill made Rubin a board member at the company he helped create, paying him a salary of $17 million a year.
The best politicians money can buy. Disgusting. Though I'd be glad for 10% of Mr. Rubin's salary, I'm not greedy!
In articles like this one, and some of Bob Herbert's in the NY Times of late there's good detailing of the problems that we've got and with this article some of the more dubious ways we got there. They seem to run long on describing the problems, but woefully short on what the average American can actually DO about it! Even the elections are a farce.
Cynical and pessimistic,
