I've known
Elizabeth Warren (not well) for something like 30 years now. Like almost everyone who ever met her, I've enjoyed her company: she's enthusiastic, energetic, warm-hearted and mostly on the side of the angels. And she has done me the occasional favor. I haven't weighed in on
the great Warren Kerfuffle because I am too far out of the action to count. But I can't resist this insight from my good friend anon:
...she'll fit right with with Fed Chair Paul Krugman, Treasury Secretary Simon Johnson, and CEA chair Brad DeLong.
He forgot "counselor to the president Joseph Stiglitz." Hoo, ha, now there is a shadow government
[Anon also reports: I just don't see it happening, but then again I just didn't see the dissolution of the Soviet Union happening and thought Geithner was likely to be fired in early 09.]
But does she have the administrative chops to start an agency?
ReplyDeleteI hope she gets it, and I'm holding Obama responsible for not screwing progressives. (However, we should accept reasonable excuses per whether she's administratively up to it.)
ReplyDeleteBTW, there's this good-looking progressive lady economist who's work is supportive of the non-wealthy, pro minimum wage and Soc Sec, etc - and I just can't remember her name. She may have come up about government positions too. Anyone figure who I might be trying to remember?
