What's the attraction to working for Government, besides extraordinary pensions, pay, and Health Care, and a certain potential "influence"?

When you leave, as a former "insider", all manner of Lobbying/Legal/"Commercial" folks WANT YOU!!

Including the Detroit 3...

Including ex-NHTSA/IRS/FBI/Customs/Trade/Treasury/Forces people...

THAT'S the "key" fringe benefit...

Just imagine what "good" Geitner's done, and how much he'll "do" when he leaves...
