Another reason to vote for Romney
He’s put together an all-star team of economists as his advisors:
From Washingtontimes.com:
You can tell a lot about politicians by the people around them, and that is especially true in presidential politics. Mr. Romney has already put together a stellar team of economic heavyweights who include:
c Vin Weber, who is chairman of Mr. Romney’s domestic policy board, in charge of providing him with a broad range of economic proposals and advisers.
c Cesar Conda, a longtime economic policy and tax cut strategist on Capitol Hill, who was chief domestic policy adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and a key player in Republican tax cut battles of the last two decades.
c R. Glenn Hubbard, President Bush’s first chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, who was on the short list last year for Fed chairman. A staunch tax cutter, he has been a key consultant to the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System.
c N. Gregory Mankiw, a free market economist at Harvard who chaired Mr. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers from 2003 to 2005, and has been an adviser to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the Congressional Budget Office.
c John Cogan, a Hoover Institution economist who was one of President Bush’s 2000 campaign policy advisers and one of the architects of the Bush tax cut plan. He brings broad economic and budget expertise from a variety of key posts in the Reagan administration.
c Brian Reardon: A tax and budget policy adviser in the Bush White House, he helped put together the president’s 2003 plan to accelerate the tax cuts. He is now an economic consultant.
This is not only a hefty team that Mr. Weber is still building, but one that demonstrates Mr. Romney is attracting a prominent field of advisers around him who are committed Reaganite supply-siders.
