Attn regulators: You work for the American people, not for the big banks. Check out my interview with @NPR: http://n.pr/1CG84IF

1. They all think, as with Cantor or Geithner, that if they obey bank directives

to go easy on them with regard to regulations (which they are charged with enforcing), that when they leave their respective regulatory agencies, they will wind up with a Mickey Mouse make-work job at those same banks, as happened with Eric Cantor or Tim Geithner. Do nothing but show up every now and then, and collect $ Millions! And in many cases, that is an accurate assessment of what happens to regulators who fail to regulate. All totally legal, but slimy as a rotten bucket of eels.

And with the vast amounts of money in the balance, most of us would be tempted to compromise judgment - on that, let's not kid ourselves. Many of us would be tempted but decide to resist; others shrug and say, 'what I do won't make any difference/everyone else is doing it/integrity is for paupers.'
