[viii]   "Paul Volcker's policies as Chairman of the Federal Reserve contributed to the significant recession in the US economy in the early 1980s, which included the highest unemployment levels since the Great Depression. Volcker's Fed elicited the strongest political attacks and most wide-spread protests in the history of the Federal Reserve (unlike any protests experienced since 1922), due to the effects of the high interest rates on the construction and farming sectors, culminating in indebted farmers driving their tractors onto C Street NW and blockading the Eccles Building. After leaving the Federal Reserve in 1987, he became chairman of the prominent New York investment banking firm, J. Rothschild, Wolfensohn & Co, a corporate advisory and investment firm in New York, run by James D.Wolfensohn, who later to became president of the World Bank. [Since 2006, Wolfensohn has

also been the chairman of the International Advisory Board of Citigroup.] As of October 2006, Volcker is the current Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Group of Thirty. He was a founding member of the Trilateral Commission and has had a long association with the Rockefeller family, rotating, since 1952, between the Chase Manhattan Bank, the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank. He

played an important role in the decision to suspend gold convertibility in 1971, which resulted in the collapse of the Bretton Woods gold standard."  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Volker)

[ix]   Timothy Geithner is a Board Director at the Center for Global Development, a member of the Group of Thirty and Council on Foreign Relations, a trustee at the Economic Club of New York and chairman of the Committee on payment and settlement systems at the Bank for International Settlements. "As Treasury Secretary, Geithner has the authority to spend the $700 billion TARP bailout without Congressional approval. He proposes to create one or more "bad banks" to buy and hold toxic assets, using a mix of taxpayer and private money. He also proposes to expand a lending program that would spend as much as $1 trillion to cover the decline in the issuance of securities backed by consumer loans. He further proposes to give banks new infusions of capital with which to lend." Geithner arranged the bailouts of Bear Stearns and AIG and played a pivotal role in the decision not to save Lehman Brothers from bankruptcy. Tim Geithner's father, Peter Geithner, oversaw the Ford Foundation's microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by Ann Dunham-Soetoro, Barack Obama's mother.
