Yes, you are correct. You did indicate that a number of those listed were also in the prior Bush administration. My oversight.
Now again, though, there seems to be considerable logic to retain and hire those from the banking and financial sector to be part of the federal government to share their expertise with all of us.
Granted, this banking and financial system is full of mysteries. One day Wall Street experts are proclaiming a recovery is definitely here, then the next day when the stock market slips these same experts wring their hands, many proclaiming we are headed into a "double-dip recession." Huh?? What is it?? Very confusing and hard to figure !
Point I make that trying to predict the economy is often akin to reading a crystal ball or tea leaves, lol !! Who really can do it? But if anyone at least sort of should be able to do so, it makes sense to me that those who have been in this system act as advisors, as who else can really figure a lot if it out??
