Citi Group seeks permanent government welfare

Cafe Hayek tells us about the new Citigroup executive in charge of government handouts:
Citigroup Inc., recovering from its $45 billion bailout in 2008, is in advanced talks to hire former White House Budget Director Peter Orszag, people with knowledge of the matter said.
Orszag, 41, may take a job in the New York-based firm’s investment-banking division, the people said, declining to be identified because the discussions are private. An announcement may come as early as today, one of the people said.

But is it OK for Congress to send endless funds to political cronies, as long as they meet the Technocrati elite ranking?
