I don't know that this is a forced choice between social security cuts and extracting resources from countries we bomb
and? Bernie lost bro. its over you need to get over bernie at some point.
Nah, purity tests are only bad when leftists do it. When liberals do it, it's just common sense.
The election ended early this month, people have far more problems with Neera than just "Bernie tears". You want me to criticize Brie? Ok, she's bad. Is she in power or being elected to power? No? Than let's focus on the one who is rather than derailing this thread by making it about someone completely random.
Cecilia Rouse is a good pick for CEA. She's a labor economist who believes in full employment and wrote a paper about the danger of student debt.
The rest of his CEA team are also packed with labor economists. This is significantly to the left of Obama's team.
CEA is really more important than OMB is. CEA is where the decisions get made. OMB is more of a clearing house on how it affects the budget. Neera favors stimulus over deficit control.

Funnily enough, Trump said pretty much the same thing in his vlogs around 2011/12.
Why did you delete your message? It was entirely valid of you to point out that the user was derailing the thread
you do realize you sound exactly like Trump supporters who bring up Bill or Hillary Clinton every time someone criticizes Trump, right? Like, Biden's the one in charge making bad decisions, if Bernie was nominating bad people, we could have that conversation, but unfortunately it's Biden so....
I don't like to dogpile and I saw two others had already answered.
She's shitty but she's not a deficit hawk and she's being put in charge of the office of the budget. I'm resigned to Biden's appointees not being great on every issue, as long as we can get people who are reasonably good at the thing they are assigned to we'll be in better shape than honestly even under ObamaWhat is more progressive than invading and bombing the shit out of countries and then demanding they give you their oil as thanks for turning their prosperous nation into a hellhole with actual slave markets?
So she shares foreign policy positions with Trump, what's the big deal? You reactionary tankies and your purity tests at it again
That's only if you make the key assumption that the roles are going to be rigid. Sure, Psaki will take the podium, but I wouldn't rule out Symone Sanders, Bedingfeld, Psaki, and the rest coordinating on messaging. Plus, Symone can work on boosting Kamala now in preparation for '24.
I wouldn't be shocked if their roles were quite fluid at the senior level with lots of coordination happening too. I don't see this is as a slight for Symone, in any case: "Senior Advisor to the President" is still a big deal, especially if she's shepherding Kamala's messaging along, even if Trump handed out those titles like candy.
edit: completely missed the point that it would've been groundbreaking to have Symone at the podium. I hope she gets the chance.
there are many many qualified candiates who are not neera tanden so i'm not sure how you think this meaningfully addresses the criticisms you seem to be responding to. Lecturing people on the existence of senate confirmation isn't a get out of jail free card to end the conversation on the record of the mainstream political figure it ends up being. That is not the extent of people's criticism
Holy shityup, she's horrible.
The Center For American Progress Staff Was Shocked After Neera Tanden Named The Anonymous Harassment Victim In An All-Staff Meeting
The meeting comes after BuzzFeed News reported on allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation against those who reported at the progressive organization. “People audibly gasped when she did that.”www.buzzfeednews.com
We shouldn't give shitty people power though, even if theyre put in a position of power where their ability to do the harm they wish to do is limited.
I want someone to tell me what the OMB does, without googling it first.
Yeah, I don't think that Sanders got a bad deal. Just surprised as I figured she was angling for a specific job but that's just a guess I had.
Lord knows we're not in a position to get Medicare for All soon anyway. What do people think Biden should do, give McConnell power noogies until he cries uncle?She supports another approach for universal healthcare coverage. Which I guess is bad and all even though the president-elect also supports a different plan from Medicare For All.
Medicare Extra for All
This proposal guarantees the right of all Americans to enroll in the same high-quality plan modeled after the Medicare program.www.americanprogress.org
She'll get the chance when the woman in my avatar is president 🙂
Jesus, I've seen that Libya quote before and it still stunned the shit out of me when I just now reread it.
Absolute trash.
Absolute trash.

I didn't choose to criticize someone for engaging in toxic twitter beefs while quoting Briahna Joy Gray. You gonna have Trump lecture us on white supremacy next?
I'm thrilled to see an all female comms team with so many women of color, fucking progress.
I'm not thrilled to see Neera Tanden though, who seems to have a problematic past. Surely there's a better choice?

I do not think that we're going to be able to get a cabinet of people who are all good on foreign policy, domestic policy, budget, civil rights, etc. I just don't. Call me cynical but honestly it's hard enough to assemble a podcast of lefties who are good on every issue. I'd rather she get put in charge of the OMB than somewhere where her foreign policy views actually have impact. Its not like Biden is assembling his circle of friends and they're all going to weigh in on every issue
I only know of her from her being a scold on twitter with truly awful takes but this is real illuminating stuff right here. What an terrible pick.yup, she's horrible.

Yep. The big tent means we're not going to always like the picks, but there's gotta be a better choice here. Hope people can push the administration to reconsider.
Jesus, what a sack of shit.yup, she's horrible.

How are you gonna have "the most pro-union administration in history" and put an avowed union buster in charge of OMB? Hope the senate rejects her.
Robert Reich likes all the picks. I trust Reich.
"Biden appointing Cecilia Rouse to head CEA, along w Jared Bernstein @econjared, and Heather Boushey. Neera Tanden @neeratanden to OMB.
Excellent. All committed to full employment, boosting wages, reducing inequality.
W Janet Yellen at Treasury, most diverse economic team ever."

Here's Tanden's June article in Democracy where she sketches out a more ambitious health care agenda than Biden's, plus some Warren stuff on corporate governance and a green industrial policy take.

It is high time to rethink the relationship—the basic bargain—between the individual, companies, and our government.

He directly addresses Tanden in one of his tweets and says she'll be curtailed because Bernie is ranking Dem of the subcommittee which is sort of tacitly acknowledging she may not be the best pick?
From 2012.

If these clowns dare to try austerity in the middle of COVID-19, they can kiss 2022 goodbye. And a cameo from our friend Rahm. It is incredible how that family produced not one, but three highly successful capitalism stooges in three different fields!
Liberal Group Proposes Reduced Medicare Spending
The Center for American Progress, a think-tank closely associated with President Obama, offered up a deal on Wednesday on how to cut the deficit by reducing spending for Medicare without, it says, hurting seniors.
