Yellen Summons Regulators to Discuss Financial Market Volatility
Speaking fees is how one legally bribes politicians.  Such is how my cynical self sees it.  The Clintons earned over $150 in speaking fees since leaving the presidency.  Does anyone think their speeches are worth $10 million a year?  At the end of the Clinton presidency he signed into law a repeal of Glass-Steagall. Reagan famously was paid around $10 million after his presidency to give some speeches in Japan.  He got rid of car import quotas.<p>Perhaps I'm being too conspiratorial or cynical but it seems to me that this is the polite understanding between business and those with political power.  We'll pay you a lot of money for very little work if you pass legislation that we like.<p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bill-clinton-paid-speeches/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bill...</a>
