Economists behind Barack Obama

I just finished reading Obama's business brain trust, which unveiled 14 Obama's economic thinkers. Among them, there are 4-5 CEOs, 3 professors, people from Bill Clinton's administration(about 3 or 4), and other experienced economists.

Warren Buffett; Eric Schmidt (Google CEO); Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan Chase CEO);
This group share the idea that tax breaks for the rich is wrong.

Austan Goolsbee(U of Chicago)
Jared Bernstein (Economy policy institute director)
These two economists support tax raise

Robert Rubin(former treasury secretary);

Larry Summers(Harvard, served in the Treasury during Clinton administration)

They support Obama's call for economic stimulus

Others (7)

including education, foreign trade, energy, deficit, etc.

This is a diverse collection of economic thinkers and they are not completely agree with each other. Under crisis, it is especially important for Obama to choose his Treasury secretary wisely and to use his business brain properly.

Thanksgiving hasn't come, but I want to thank this blog project ahead of time!
There is one thing I didn't mention in my profile that this is my first year in U.S. I barely have a sense of belonging and inevitably watch the society as an outsider. I've been always remembering how my politics professor answered the question what made one an American. She said it was the political culture that every American shares.
This blog gives me an opportunity to get closer to this great nation emotionally. My topic is away from the conflicts between my country and U.S.; my topic drives me to understand how the social insurance system runs; my topic is closely related to the benefit of ordinary Americans; my topic pushes me to think for the future of the United States from an American's prospect. I feel more engaged in this society and I am definitely caught by the feeling.
