Glenn Hubbard—A Career that Street Hookers Wouldn’t Touch
by Mark Biskeborn | April 10, 2013 - 12:49am

Just last week, NPR interviewed Larry Summers.(1) Everyone had to bite their tongue during breakfast as America suffered a shock to think how that man was still not in a cage to stop him from carrying out financial terrorism at a global scale.

Again, just today, it felt like Ground Hog Day. NPR interviewed Glenn Hubbard. (2) Like Summers, Glenn Hubbard is one of the highest paid cheerleaders for the new world order of free-market ideology. It is the nonsense that made the Gilded Age possible and during the roaring 1920s resulting in the Great Depression. These neoconservatives began making big money by pushing catastrophic policies even before Ronald Reagan, filling that president’s empty noggin with hack economists like Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman.

It is difficult to determine which of the two men is viler. Glenn Hubbard, like Larry Summers, has built his career on whoring out his Ivy League sheep skin to Big Business for all the wrong reasons. These men are respected as leading academics, at least in the eye of the elitist cabal. They are both professors at Ivy League Universities and, for the right amount of money, they say whatever Big Business wants to hear.

It just goes to show that a guy can pass the SAT exams and enter into a university of the super rich but still end up with scum-bag careers that would make street pimps feel dirty to touch.
