Romney Taps Former Bush Officials for Economic Team

Post by Bleyseng » Tue Sep 06, 2011 9:49 am

"U.S. presidential hopeful Mitt Romney named an economic policy team Tuesday led by former top economic aides in Republican President George W. Bush's administration."

Great! let's go back to the stupid economic policies that got us in this mess in the first place. Cut Taxes for the Rich, No oversight on Wall Street, No Regs on Banking, Two Wars etc....

The truly sad thing is that Obama's advisors come from all the same places.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Timothy Geithner? Lawrence Summer? So totally part of the problem.

I'll be lazy and copypaste something I read this morning...
important thing is that the people he's surrounded himself with are not labor people, but stooges from Wall Street. Barack Obama has as his chief of staff a former top-ranking executive from one of the most grossly corrupt mega-companies on earth, JP Morgan Chase. He sees Bill Daley in his own office every day, yet when it comes time to talk abut labor issues, he has to go out and make selected visits twice a year or whatever to the Richard Trumkas of the world.
