Yeah, let’s put a nutcase who loves the old Soviet Union and who hates banks in charge of the US currency:
President Biden checked off another progressive identity box last week by nominating Saule Omarova as Comptroller of the Currency. Some Trump appointees were ridiculed for having supported the elimination of their agencies. Ms. Omarova wants to eliminate the banks she’s being appointed to regulate.
The Cornell University law school professor’s radical ideas might make even Bernie Sanders blush. She graduated from Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship. Thirty years later, she still believes the Soviet economic system was superior, and that U.S. banking should be remade in the Gosbank’s image.
“Until I came to the US, I couldn’t imagine that things like gender pay gap still existed in today’s world. Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there. Market doesn’t always ‘know best,’” she tweeted in 2019. After Twitter users criticized her ignorance, she added a caveat: “I never claimed women and men were treated absolutely equally in every facet of Soviet life. But people’s salaries were set (by the state) in a gender-blind manner. And all women got very generous maternity benefits. Both things are still a pipe dream in our society!”
Sure, there was a Gulag, and no private property, but maternity benefits!
Ms. Omarova thinks asset prices, pay scales, capital and credit should be dictated by the federal government. In two papers, she has advocated expanding the Federal Reserve’s mandate to include the price levels of “systemically important financial assets” as well as worker wages. As they like to say at the modern university, from each according to her ability to each according to her needs.
Go here to read the rest. Let us speculate for a moment and posit that the people in charge of the Puppetmasters’ Administration, the ones behinds the scenes pulling the strings of poor puppet Biden, are enemies of this country and wish to crash this nation’s economy, erase our borders, destroy our military and reduce our international prestige to dust. Assuming this were true, what in the name of Heaven would such hidden enemies do differently from what the Puppetmasters’ Administration is already doing?
To be fair to her, everybody being paid zero is equal.
The puppetmasters won’t be happy until its 95 million members;
The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States, with over 92,000 members and chapters in all 50 states. We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.
Biden is a criminal.
The above description of Biden’s pals come from the DSA website.
In 2020, 98% of the ‘too-big-to-fail’ banks’ political contributions went to Chinese Joe. KARMA.
IIRC wasn’t there a problem with the Soviet store shelves not having much in the way of merchandise to purchase? In order to redistribute wealth you have to create it first. Socialism and communism concentrate power in a way that is corrupting to those wielding it, and contributes to creating a dysfunctional economy. I guess that Biden & Co. wants to bring the “blessings” of empty store shelves to the USA.
The 1950’s called. They want their Communists back. You know, the ones that Hollyweird says never existed…?
