Six and a half years, and besides drawing a tidy remuneration what did he really accomplish?

Snippet:

"For the past 6 1/2 years he has been an outspoken member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, one of the financial industrys most important regulators."

Comment: Truth be known, he was a lame duck, imo.

Sure he was chosen by the White House, and sure he may have been vocal, but what power did he have and what change in policies did he force? Who does the White House choose in any position that can and will rock the boat?

IMO all he did was cash in substantial tax payer funded cheques, including a future pension and to what end? So he can write a book and tell everyone how bad the system, he continued to work in, is?

Why did he stay if he had no pull? He stayed for the paycheck!

Why did he stay if no-one would listen? He stayed for the pension!

"We live in interesting times"

Good Luck to all!
