Where Are They Now?
Back in the misty past of the presidential transition, President Obama introduced an impressive economic team — one to give Hope™ to struggling Americans everywhere. Warren Buffet, Paul Volcker, Larry Summers, Austan Goolsbee, Peter Orszag, Christina Romer and Timothy Geithner¹ just to name a few.
Then came the Pelosi-Reid Stimulus bill, with full-court opposisiton from the evil ditto-head Republicans, and from the Obama brain-trust comes …… not a peep.
Where is Warren Buffet arguing for propping up state bureaucracies? Where is Larry Summers defending free prophylactics? Why isn’t Paul Volker hitting the talk shows in favor of monetizing debt? Where are they all on the new trade barriers and the “Buy American” plan?
Surely they don’t (very) privately agree with the Great Satan Limbaugh, that this so-called stimulus bill is everything they ever fought against, re-hashed. Surely not?
Where are they now?
