Summers Will Be Gone

One upbeat piece of news: Lawrence Summers will be leaving the White House as economic policy advisor to Obama.   Good!!!!!!!!!!!   As someone who bears a great deal of the blame for the run-up to the Great Recession by his support for deregulation in the 90's and his support for the Wall Street shenanigans, Summers should never have been appointed by Obama in the first place.  It doesn't really matter now, since Congress is lost to the Democrats, but it still feels GOOD.
