Is this true? Citibank, the one crying for government (that is, taxpayer) money laid off 52,000 workers (seems high to me, but...), yet has forked over several hundred million dollars (maybe $400 million?) for the rights to name the New York Mets new stadium after Citibank. Where is the Congressional oversight on this, the grilling of the Citibank execs? I'd really like to see the campaign contributions of Citi. So, the Big 3 execs were taken to task for flying to DC, but the Citi guys haven't even been asked their shoe size?
When are Americans going to tell Congress, "ENOUGH!"? Oh, never...OK. I was just asking.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
