You mean his tenure at Citibank? When the dirtbag actually had the balls to call up the Bush administration and ask them to try to keep Enron afloat while he bailed out Citi at taxpayer's expense? Yes, I suffered as these fucking dirtbags set up the Clinton Recession then the major crash of 2008. As they were advised, sternly, by Brooksley Born, and they turned a blind eye to it. Rubin fired her to shut her up. And they were put into panic mode when LTCM nearly crashed and would have except for a weekend scramble during which the banks raised enough money to shore up the underlyings. The ONLY liberal I know of who actually owned up to it was Caroline Kennedy, who flatly said in 2009 that Born tried to stop it and they Would Not Listen. So, hell, yes. We've all suffered at the hands of Rubin & Clinton & Summers.
