Do Not Appoint Larry Summers To Any Position In The Federal Reserve Or Its Board

Created by M.M. on September 15, 2013

Economist, Larry Summers, has consistently delivered poor judgment and policy decisions during his many years as a governmental economic advisor. His long, aggressive, incorrect insistence on deregulating commercial/investment banking operating rules and related consumer protections - e.g., derivatives/credit default swaps and unprecedented housing/mortgage defaults and frauds - were major contributors to the Great Recession in the USA and much of the rest of the world. His "solutions" to bailout mega-corporations and their executives' jobs and compensation - versus correcting massive housing sector abuse, desperately needed job creation, and resulting middle/lower class families' lifetime losses - render Mr. Summers unfit for appointment as Federal Reserve Chair or other senior positions.
