I suggest he become the Professor of Sandbox. That is all he should be teaching anyone. The man is a fraud and a failure.

This was Romer’s replacement from back in September. They can’t figure out what they’re doing wrong, and so another one of Obama’s commie Chicago intellectuals bites the dust.

I’m beginning to think that they don’t think they are doing anything “wrong”. What if your plan is to install a command and control economy, take equity positions in banking, insurance (AIG), manufacturing, control the rest through regulation. So what if there is 9% unemployment? The other 91% can feed the 9% and sustain it all through the next election cycle. In the meantime we all (Romer, Goolsbee, et al.) build up our pensions and move back and forth between government and academia as usual! What’s the problem?

I’m sure when he lectures about his times in the Obama administration he’ll tell the students that this economy was all the fault of the republicans who stood in the way of what he and Obama wanted to do.

They're trying to sell this as the "new normal."

Whether it's because they don't believe it can be better, because they don't now how to fix it or because they don't want it to be for political advantage I can't really tell. It's probably a mix of all three.
