more griping

Obama's Economic Policy People:

Robert Rubin, an economic adviser to Obama, oversaw the risk management at the recently collapsed super bank Citigroup. Larry Summers, soon to be the director of Obama's National Economic Council, the Treasury Secretary under Clinton "championed the law that deregulated derivatives, the financial instruments — a k a toxic assets — that have spread the financial losses from reckless lending around the globe." Larry Summers also worked at the IMF, along with Geithner, the current president of the Federal Reserve and Obama's pick for Treasury Secretary. Each one of these picks represent an ideology of deregulation and neoliberalism that fueled our current economic crisis; And these are the people that are supposed to steer the ship of state toward its salvation with policies of 'change' and 'spreading around the wealth????'
