The Rich Roffman Show broadcasts Monday through Friday from 5-6 PM on 880 AM on the dial. Hosted by veteran publisher, Richard Roffman, the show is fast paced and features quick reports, humor, and sarcasm incorporating regular and invited guests. Imagine Mel Brooks meets the Wall Street Journal. There is a mix of live as well as recorded interviews with featured “correspondents” and guests a la Sid Caesar’s Show of Shows, The Steve Allen Show and perhaps The Daily Show. |

What does America value? The answer is simple: building the biggest and riskiest companies in the world. If you achieve world-class levels of size and risk, the U.S. government will use everything in its power to rescue you if you get into trouble and let you pay yourself billions in bonuses if things are going well. With $23.7 trillion of taxpayer money at risk to bail out those huge institutions -- almost twice U.S. GDP -- there can be no doubt how great the reward is for failing big. |

I was talking with Rich Roffman during our weekly visit on his radio show. We discussed how home office workers often have to be their own "experts" or go-to gurus in a variety of areas.
