FATCAT 60,888 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 President-elect Joe Biden is earning praise from progressives for tapping a wide range of government veterans and academics to help form an economic team that will be tasked with trying to advance Democratic policies in a deeply divided Washington. Biden has also enlisted leading experts on racial economic disparities and discrimination within the financial system for his agency review teams, a welcome sign for progressives who have called on Washington to play a greater role in creating a more equitable economy. University of California Irvine law professor Mehrsa Baradaran, an expert on financial inclusion and discrimination, has joined the review teams for Treasury and banking and securities regulators. Michigan State University economics professor Lisa Cook, who has extensively studied the economic effects of racism, is also a member of the banking and securities regulation team. https://thehill.com/policy/finance/525611-progressives-praise-bidens-picks-for-economic-transition-team This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt either of them would want to jeopardize that. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
