Remember when Dick Cheney was sworn into office and his former employer Halliburton became the poster child for the military industrial complex? The wacky leftists charged that the whole Iraq war was a ploy to line the pockets of his former colleagues at the company. Well what do those folks have to say about the Chief of Staff of the President of the United States and his former employer Freddie Mac. Yes, that Freddie Mac the Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) that along with Fannie Mae planted the seeds for the mortgage and real estate crisis that has metastasized into the entire financial sector and then fertilized it before having to be taken over by the federal government.

Rahm Emanuel made $320,000 in 14 months at Freddie Mac. But forget how much money he made read about how Freddie was circling the drain while Emanuel was there.
