Money For Nothing
Who wouldn’t want to join this club?
Sinecures for life (one way or the other), no need to pay taxes and a plethora of prestigious and well remunerated board positions, to name but three perks.
And Rahm Emanuel was not very choosy. Greedy little politician gobbled up whatever came his way. Including a stint on the board at Freddie Mac.
Dun Dun Dunnnnnhhh!
Two things about this: (1) it coincided with a major accounting scandal and (2) Rahm made at least $320,000 during his 14-months there.
The responsibilities of a board member do not amount only to nodding your head, clapping your hands and drinking coffee, Rahm.

Money for nothing huh. Well we wouldn’t want to go our money that way. There are things that could still be done about it.
