The person behind the name Neel Kashkari, who handled $700 Billion for Paul Volker and the United States of America….
The is a behind the scenes piece about Neel Kashkari, the bail-out whiz, appointed to work with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in the waning days of the Bush Administration (he later worked breifly in the Obama administration at Treasury)….
While we have all trashed the Bush administration’s handling of the economic downfall…Kashkari was there ….deer in the headlights….scared and under huge pressure to produce and thrown in front congress to the heat……
The piece mainly focuses on Kashari decompressing, back in California after watching a fellow worker experience a heart attack working all nighters to help deal with the financial crisis……
He is portrayed as a real human being who had a job to do and is suffering for it…..along the way he admits…he bad judgements …but it the thanklessness of those days that haunt him…which is why he has tried to get away by living a simple life with his wife back in the boonies in California…
….it hasn’t worked….he still dreams of D.C…..and the pain……
Even though the economy is slowly getting better…….
Note: He isn’t that detached…while he’s not working now…he is helping Paul Volker write a book…..got to get his fix…anyway he can….
