I have long been a great fan of hers as well as knowing her and her husband, George Akerlof, personally. Back in 2009 I was the first person to call for her to be named Fed Chair. I am very pleased with this appointment. This is as good as it gets. (For those who wanted Lael Brainerd, we need her at the Fed where all the current governors are Trump appointees other than her). Elizabeth Warren also would have been good, but Mass has a GOP governor who would appoint her successor, not so good. Yellen is the best pick and will be great.
Barkley Rosser
Ahhh, competency. The grown-ups are here.
How about JoBiden offers Susan Collins a wonderful job in his administration?
DB,
She’s a Senator, she’s not going to start cleaning toilets now.
So am I although I also liked Obama’s and that turned out badly.
Name dropper . . . 🙂
cmon, Run….you gotta know that if Barkley knows her husband, she must be eminently qualified…
rjs:
I am kidding him though . . .
i understand, Run…i was just sharpening the needle…
Hey, I have known George for 60 years since he was dating my now late sister. That was back before he had written about lemons and became “George Akerlof.”
🙂
Just poking at you Barkley. A VP asked us to name important people we had met during our life time. I got to the 10th one and he said :That is enough from you.” You kind of forget over time.
Hurray for Janet Yellen! If only she hadn’t been shouted down when we needed a far bigger stimulus in ’09. And what a welcome switch from the parade from Goldman Sachs!
