Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Well your signature isn't inspiring confidence. LOL
You do know that isn't my signature, and if you base intelligence on signatures then you must not trust most smart people that have horrible handwriting.
He's a Dem corporate crony with his Citigroup ties so it's all well and good.
He'll be working "for the people".
Pretty much. Just like all the wall street and Goldman Sachs guys flowed in after 2008 where they were going to fight the fat cats and bankers that "caused all the problems".
Anybody believing the republicans aren't pork loving spenders and the democrats aren't corporate cronies is a big sad party loyalist sucker.
n 2008, during a short leave from politics, Jack Lew was working at Citigroup as chief operating officer of the Alternative Investments unit, a $54 billion hedge fund and private equity operation that made some big bets against the housing market. Lew’s defenders argue that as COO, his role was primarily administrative, and he didn’t make decisions about where or what to trade. The AI unit is the precise sort of operation that the Volcker rule should, if properly implemented, render illegal.
COOs support "the desk" and don't call the trading strategies.
Knowledgeable? Maybe. Corrupt? You betcha. I guess it's OK that he got a million dollar bonus after our taxpayer dollars bailed out Citibank. Aren't you lefties outraged because of that very thing, with regards to anyone but him?

Kinda like how moveon.org removed their scathing indictment of General Petreus from their website (that had been up for years) the day after obama made him head of the CIA?
