How Times have Changed

From MSNBC: "Former Merrill Lynch Chief Executive John Thain said Monday he plans to reimburse Bank of America for a $1.2 million renovation of his office a year ago, calling the cost “a mistake in light of the world we live in today.”


I agree with Mr. Thain that our world has changed a lot.  A year ago is was a great idea to spend $1.2M on office renovations.  Only today, in light of the recession and the deterioration of ones firm does it seem like a bad idea.  At least he didn't try to spin it like he was trying to bolster the economy with spending!
