A week after the frontline report, he stepped down and is now expected to return to private corporate practice, one more government appointee spinning through the lucrative revolving door between washington and wall street. That door could be a big reason why government treats the banks with kid gloves. A man who once worked for citigroup, jack lew, the president s chief of staff, has been picked to be the new treasury secretary.

We have moved the bill in the house twice. We should not have to move a third bill before the senate gets off their ass and begins to do something. Ooh, Strong Language from a guy who is on the heels of a tenday vacation, dont you think . I mean, boehners got a lot of nerve to stand up there in front of the A
