Jeb Bush's moneymaking boondoggle

From what I can tell out of this article about Jeb Bush's firm, he essentially did nothing and made nothing. Basically, he capitalized on his name and his connections from when he was governor to make millions. He also created "jobs" for himself, his wife and his son, as well as huge pension plans for all. Seems like a big boondoggle, creating nothing but making tons of money. Even Romney, as despicable as his company take-overs were, actually did something.
