You, and I, see a a $52,000 a year job as a toll road supervisor as
good job, with health and dental insurance. A politico sees endless
supply of $1,000 cash hiring bonuses from new employees, 25
Mexican toll collectors paying him $500 a month to keep their jobs, and
bags full of quarters winding up in his trunk.
A State Controller
To you it's $125,000 a year job, but to these special visionaries,
that's a $2,000,000 a year. When a controller hands out a $4 million
contract to Weinstein Garbage disposal, and there is a $400,000 deposit
in his Swiss bank account. There is $10 billion in short term funds,
that's $80 million in annual interest, so bankers can be very grateful.
A Fuss About A $35,000 A Year Driver
That's strictly comedy, sort of like giving Dillinger a ticket for
double parking at the Bank of Terra Haute bank heist.
