Name Paul Krugman to be Larry Summers' Replacement as Director of the National Economic Council

Name Paul Krugman to be Larry Summers' Replacement as Director of the National Economic Council

The Issue

Larry Summers is leaving the President's economic staff in December and returning to Harvard.  We need an economist in this vitally important role who puts science ahead of politics and everyday citizens ahead of Wall Street bankers and Corporate CEO's.  Paul Krugman has consistently nailed economic issues for years, consistently spoken truth to White House power, and consistently advocated for both more and smarter intervention to head off the most damaging effects of the financial collapse.  

We need Paul Krugman to be heading up Obama Administration economic policy... even if he needs to be drafted into the position!
