		<description>“Well, as I know you know from your blog posts, men can be great feminists too.”

There you go…so if you are considering gender reassignment you have good reference for your application. 

Sorry… been reading too much on related subject matter, my bad, back to relative discussion.  What was that, one VJJ two VJJ, oh I lost count.</description>

		<description>Well, Summers left Harvard last summer and Harvard University felt it was a time for change.  They selected Drew Faust to replace him who then was presented with Christina Romer as for a professor of economics.  Oh yes and unrelated David as well, not to interpreted as that they are a “set” because they are not.  

It was controversial as Romer tenured position was vetoed by Faust, with no explanation.  David subsequently declined his offer with the Kennedy School…</description>

		<description>Jill - I&#039;d say it is both.  The press coverage has been pretty lacking, but if I were a woman, i&#039;d be raising hell about it.</description>

		<description>Yes and Bill Clinton was not considered for Secretary of State either.  Your correct they are not sets, for the most part these people probably never see each other.</description>

		<description>A report from the Center for American Progress concludes that a $100 billion federal investment in clean energy technologies over 2009 and 2010 would yield two2 million new U.S. jobs, cutting the unemployment rate by 1.3% and put the nation on a path toward a low-carbon economy. The report, prepared by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, proposes $50 billion in tax credits for energy efficiency retrofits and renewable energy systems; $46 billion in direct government spending for public building retrofits, mass transit, freight rail, smart electrical grid systems, and renewable energy systems; and $4 billion for federal loan guarantees to help finance building retrofits and renewable energy projects. The Center believes that clean energy investments would yield about 300,000 more jobs than if the same funds were distributed among U.S. taxpayers. The clean energy investments would also have the added benefits of lower home energy bills and reduced prices for non-renewable energy sources, due to the reduced consumption of those energy sources

Melody C. Barnes?  

This needs to be looked at further, secondary impact analysis.  
I like to see HEAP redirected to eliminating gravity feed heating systems, seriously we are not efficient.  The efficiency should go up and tax should be variable, it should float to keep prices high as an efforts made to reduce consumption.  

Then what industries are using which commodities and why, industries examined to be globally competitive.  Energy is a cost of doing business, a big one.  Consistency and predictability, how can the auto industry retool if the price of gasoline floats?   That’s secondary isn’t it, what you buy is reflected in the price of fuel.  If the price is held constant then and above the market through variable tax then efficiency draws revenue back to government.

The tax applied to alternatives or the debt.  What cannot happen is dependency on the tax, it can’t be thought of as fungible, thought of as regulatory and cyclical.</description>

		<description>If David Romer wasn&#039;t considered then that makes it irrelevant to the discussion...I was judging from those selected.  They are individuals not &quot;sets&quot;. 

Nor would I personally put much value in what Summers felt.</description>

		<description>Is Christina more brilliant than David?  We should ask Laurence at least the very least he will be candid. 

Christina would agree that if you are measuring quality then use a policy of performance. 

In academics that’s publications, and the quantity as well as quality of those, among other measures of course.

I am very pragmatic and say two heads are better than one, maybe Obama is seeking dynamic duos?  Cause he got two for the price of one with Romer and Clinton.  

&quot;policymakers act in part on the basis of their apparently misguided information.&quot;

		<description>Another helpful story, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nfmpolitico.com/khou/2008/11/15/will-men-dominate-obama-administration/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;:

The backlash from women’s groups may have pushed Summers off the short list for Treasury secretary. (which appears to not be true)

Only 33 women have held Cabinet or Cabinet-level appointments, according to the Center for American Women in Politics at Rutgers University. Bill Clinton holds the record for female nominees, appointing 14 during his two terms in the White House. He’s followed by George W. Bush, who put eight women in top-level posts.</description>
