“is currently chairman of President Barack Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board.”
What the heck is Volcker’s job anyway? He gives advice for Obama to ignore? I’m serious...what does one do as “chairman of Obama’s economic recovery advisory board” ?
You tutor him, and have him ignore you while using your name.
Keep in mind, that he has not one, not 2, but at least 3 different groups of economic advisors, and from what I read on the heads of 2 of them (Summers, and Romer), it seems like he has no damn clue (and keep in mind, they like him).
“What the heck is Volcker’s job anyway?”
I don’t know either, but if it means he occasionally talks to those in power, then I want him there. He did a great job as Fed Chairman beating inflation when Reagan was president. Let’s hope he brings some sense to the current administration.
Bow lessons?
