So your own "golden parachute" must have been pretty darned impressive after all that upper echelon corporate service and all. Certainly you must make more than some mere distinguished fellow in residence at Brookings.

For me. I was honored by being allowed to observe the disgusting shenanigans - up until the point I was so nauseous that I quit the game. Golden parachutes are reserved for the CEO and accomplices - like Bernanke and Greenspan.

I mean is this a surprise to anyone? You scratch my back, I scratch yours.

Of course the real victims are middle class America. And as they said, wall st got bailed out and main st got left out. Welfare is reserved only for the big banks and the elites...now in the form of incredibly low interest rates and whatnot as well as the TARP deal.

So I guess you were just some no-account flunkie. Kind of a change in tune there. Except for your persistent ignorance of the facts, it had all been spun to make it sound like you were in there rubbing elbows with the big boys all day long. Guess not.

The TARP deal? Seriously? And the financial bailouts were not done to save any Wall Street fat cats. Regulators would as soon have seen them start burning in hell right away. But you can't do that. If you let the financial system fail, it comes down on top of everybody. That's YOUR job, YOUR home, YOUR savings, and YOUR future. THAT'S what was being bailed out.

LOL! You should visit your local Dollar Store or Dollar Tree. Learn why so many of the wealthy shop there. Valuable Lesson: You don't get or stay rich by spending more money than you need to.

And for what it's worth, I was already an expert in the days of Telnet and FTP.

Not really. I never sold out. I maintained my integrity unlike some very obvious lackies.
