Let's ask Rubin's good-buddy, Tom Daschle.
Former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, now senior executive at Citigroup, the parent conglomerate, is ...[Daschle's]... personal guru on big-think economics. Did we mention that Citigroup was one of Enron's lead bankers and on the griddle itself? Or that, in his day job, Rubin beseeched a top-level Treasury official to intervene to save Enron? The bank's active concern for its biggest debtors in trouble does not extend to its little ones.
One good thing about the Citigroup/Rubin affair is that we will most likely never, ever again hear Rubin's name mentioned as a potential successor to Greenspan at the Federal Reserve.
