It seems like your Presidents pick to be the dollar czar isn't fairing
well from either side of the isle. Throwing billions to Wall Street
and little to Main Street isn't making him a very popular man.


Like most "Czars" I'm trying to figure out what the guy actually does.


I believe he's the Secretary of the Treasury, but don't let me stand it
the
way of a right wing rant on czars.

Stand in ( I take it you meant 'in' instead of 'it') the way of what
rant ? I know what his official title is, but I'm wondering what he's
actually doing for everyones benefit. It looks to me like he isn't
getting supported well by some democrats as well as some republicans.

Thats all.


Reply: Yes, stand in :-)

I believe he's doing the best he can with the hand he was dealt. He's got
the support of the President, which for the time being is what he needs.
It's an interesting measure when both sides aren't truly happy with
someone's performance.
