Hi All,
Just in case you didn’t see the headline, economist Lewis Alexander, has left Citigroup to work for the department of the treasury (1).
This decision seems problematic at best. Citigroup would likely have filed for bankruptcy if it were not for federal intervention. Given that the treasury has been struggling to respond to the economic crisis, it would seem that perhaps someone from a different institution would have been a better choice for building public confidence.
Best,
James
DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) Finance is a blog discussing personal finance for couples. While by no means financial experts, we own a variety of assets including real estate and stocks. We've both been up to our eyeballs in debt and have made tons of financial mistakes. However, we've both successfully retired that debt and we both do learn from our failings. We hope that our voice in this blog can help others in achieving their goals!
