This is probably the place to note that Thain took CIT in the dumper too.

"Years after the meltdown, CIT is a different story. To begin with, the Federal Reserve has it on some double-secret probation watch list, because it was bailed out with more than $2 billion of government TARP money, filed for bankruptcy and then stiffed the American taxpayer." <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.c..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charles-gasparino/j...">http://www.huffingtonpost.c...

We are. We're on the losing side, however. Big Money is going all in with Romney, and has hedged its bets w/Barry too. No way to lose!

These kind of stories make me regret not having pledged a fraternity. Those dudes have <i>so much fun!</i>

No, he should have the dignity a job. Car washes are a good place for a person starting out. Or how about defusing IEDs in Afghanistan? That's a useful service.

Hey, they were worried about jobs before it was cool.
