Drop support for Larry Summers for Fed Chairman as he is partly responsible for the Great Recession.

Created by W.B. on August 27, 2013

LArry Summers is not qualified for Fed Chairman.

HE was also famously among the pushers of the deregulatory obsession that gripped Washington in the 1990s and early 2000s, which sowed the seeds of the financial crisis that cost our economy at least $14tn.

Let's also not forget the massive risks he took with Harvard University's endowment while serving as president, which cost the university more than $1bn, and his astonishing comments on women's lack of "intrinsic aptitude" in math and science.

Then, there's his defense of Enron during the California energy crisis. And not forgetting the weird, offensive memo he signed while chief economist at the World Bank that suggested dumping toxic wasted in third world countries.
