No word as to who is will be though....  As the resident economist, I am all kinds of excited

Actually I prefer my economic news and opinion from Juggernot.

Also the announcement will come at noon Chicago time.

 

I heard Bush is going to name the guy who does his taxes at the corner H&R Block in Crawford, TX. to the post.

 

"He's a good man and I know what he thinks when it comes to money stuff"

Anyone know if this guy is anti-abortion?

They've never talked about it...

 

Bush continued "But he's a smart dresser and he can count to 20 without taking off his shoes!"

 

I wonder what Church he attends? Oh and maybe, if he has any actual experience.

Thank you CNBC... They are reporting that former board governor Ben Bernanke will be named to succeed Greenspan... LET THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN BEGIN!

 

Tyler Cowen: "An excellent choice and a first-rate economist." Gives him an overall grade of A-/B+.

 

Max Sawicky: Not bad. Better than Martin Feldstein, anyway.

 

Larry Kudlow (National Review): "A good choice." Better than Donald Kohn, that's for sure.

 

Brad Delong: "A very good choice."

 

Reportedly, as chair of the economics department at Princeton, he brought in an economist named Paul Krugman who was working at MIT at the time (let me know if tha tlink doesn't work)
