Neel Kashkari was designated as the Interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability on October 6, 2008. In this capacity, Mr. Kashkari oversees the Office of Financial Stability including the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Prior to his career in finance, Mr. Kashkari was a R&D Principal Investigator at TRW in Redondo Beach, California where he developed technology for NASA space science missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope.
Good luck, you poor bastard. All you have to do is save Wall Street without even appearing to harm main street, give back the retirement accounts to the seniors the way they were in 2005 and 6, help small business, and save Europe and the far east from the abyss, while spending time testifying at oversight committees. Then IF you do all that, return us to free enterprise.
Of course if you can, and you were born here, you are a shoe in for the worst job in the world.
Something tells me this guy is too busy, and too serious to be an elitist, like some other morons
