Bill’s commentary:
“And you still wonder if the plan to tale down the United States is a planned event?”
The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Jared Bernstein to become chair of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA).
Senators voted 50-49 on Bernstein’s nomination to the post that Cecilia Rouse vacated in March. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) was the lone Democrat to side with every present Republican.
“Mr. Bernstein’s economic philosophy is problematic as he has shown a willingness to disregard the need for all-of-the-above energy policies and necessary federal budget cuts to alleviate the skyrocketing cost of living for working families,” Manchin explained in a statement.
“I did not vote for Mr. Bernstein because we must protect America’s economic stability and energy security from radical policies such as the Green New Deal,” Manchin added.
