This is not the only thread where you've tried to belittle someone because you're "so much smarter". If you're so smart, why dont you just sit back and stop bragging and let your intelligence speak for itself. I have a lot of respect for Chicago and the programs there, which I am sure you made the most of.
As for the Fed and salaries, yes, it's a goverment job, so the salaries are indeed lower than comparable positions in the private sector. Once again though, your ego is getting away with you - you asked for a creditable source, NOT where you can go to earn the most money. I'm really happy you have a good job and that you had the opportunity to work at the Federal Reserve. That's not the point though - when it comes to unbiased information about the state of the economy, The Federal Reserve is about as credible as it gets.

Actually again as a testament to the fact that you know very little about Economics and Economic institutions, the Fed is not a "government job" - it is a public and private conglomerate.
The rest of what you've said is dribble too.
By the way I work in municipal finance investment banking. Every single day it's my job to know what's going on with government finance and economics even though I'm not with the research group. I am a member of one of the firms issuing several hundred million dollars worth of debt for the state of california and have listened to Phil Angelides blab on and on in meetings and conference calls. Next week, since my team is the senior underwriter for 250 million dollars in debt for the State of Connecticut, we are meeting face to face with Connecticut's state treasurer.
That is what I do. I know debt for sectors, industries, governments and states. In fact I could tell you how the small village of riverdale (which nobody has heard of) is doing economically.
My firm has 2 people who are among the top 5 contributors to the Kerry campaign. When Kerry was in Chicago I was escorted into his rally by Chicago and Illinois government officials - all Democrats.
In terms of education, experience and credentials, we are nothing alike.
