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.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.https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bill...
