Lucky for him to live in a free market economy isn’t it?

He is being paid for who he knows not what he knows.

Poor, poor Eric.
They are buying his Capitol hill contacts and inside information.
Cronyism is alive and well.
To: SeekAndFind
There's going to be a lot more stories like these after the mid-term elections and the lame duck session.
The Chamber of Commerce has Boehner bought and paid for, and they will get amnesty. The base of the Republican Party, i.e. the Tea Party, will make life so miserable for GOPe Congress critters that dozens will opt for Cantor-like private sector jobs rather than run for re-election.

Add to that his Congressional pension and you have a case of terminal Potomac Fever. Bye, Eric.

He is being paid for who he knows not what he knows.Also known as influence peddling. He will be a lobbyist and schmoozer but never have to register as a lobbyist

Just another example how a fiat currency, debt and money printing run this country. Elites of both parties are aiming to take their cut from our financialized economy.

There are many people who were glad to see him lose his seat.
And now he has. What he does after he leaves Congress is strictly his own business.
I would not have expected him to work in a gas station.

We can all sleep better tonight knowing that Eric made a nice soft landing in the bosom of Wall Street.

Go figure.
THIS is why there is no opposition party.
Just wait until you see Boehner's package.

I really don’t care if he makes a living in finance or banking now that he’s out of Congress. The point was getting him out of Congress.
Sure, he will be a lobbyist now, but don’t forget that the NRA was the organization that invented lobbyists.

It’s fine with me. I don’t care.
Sen. Phil Gramm R-TX joined a Wall Street firm after he left Congress.
Didn’t hear a peep from anyone.
To: SeekAndFind
Definitely a one-percenter.

I believe the current pay for a Congresscritter is way TOO HIGH, given the "post-public servant" expected pay checks. IF these critters consider themselves public servants I suggest we pay them about $25K annually while in office.

He can put his knowledge to work any way he chooses.
Who are we to tell a man where he can work?
