Whoa. "Economist" Romer practiced in the White House (what she preached at U of C Berkeley) for 19 months.....the economy and budget are now completely screwed up....and she is going back to preach some more of her economic garbage? Oh well.....she may say, "it was all Bush's fault or Spain or Greece or China"......as the value of the T Bills and the dollar falls through the floor. U of C Berkeley must not have received a report from the CBO on the state of the union, or perhaps they did.
A person resigns a job in order to spend time with family and the "family values" conservative crowd... slam her every which way.
I guess she should have been taping her foot in a restroom or boinging her employee's spouse for you tho think she has a good reason to care more for her family than a job.
A job which she did pretty good (that 8% UI comment was so shortsighted, I am sometimes surprised she stayed as long as she did) -- but there are plenty of others that can do it just as well... or better.
And no, the 50's were not a golden age. They were just when so many of you were young, you remember that and mourn the passing of youth and life itself.
Let us -- today's young people have our chance. You ALREADY left us (your children and grandchildren) with the debts of Reagan's unabashed "deficits don't matter" spending. An increase of 187% and you folks have the nerve to say the current administration is what has our "credit card" maxed out. Wrong. Please let us fix what you left us... thanks!
I am not surprised she quit as it is apparent that the Obama administration does not have a clue as what to do with the economy. We are looking at a second recession in the next six months. The real shame is they wasted most of the stimulus money and now say that need more when the debt is going up at a incrdible rate.
The WH can put any type of spin on her leaving, but it's yet another sign of the disarray there is with the lack of economic improvement because of flawed and ineffectual policies. This is also a telltale sign of the ineptitude on all of the grandstanding the administration was arrogantly making. They still haven't figured things out and keep blaming Bush for everything. Well, you fooled millions to vote for your Mr. President, now stop trying to fool the rest of us into thinking that you've done anything of value to improve the economic situation which you've made worse with your failed stimulus programs.
THANKS A LOT CHRISTANE; YOU SAVE AMERICA FROM THEM, WHO: BUSH - CHENEY AND REBUBLICANS WHOM LEAVE THE CUONTRY ENERMIOUS DEVECIT, RECESSION AND A MESS THAT YOU AND DEMOCRATS NEUTRALIZED. THAN YOU CHRISTINA.
"Romer, . . . , wrote in a January 2009 report that the economic stimulus package . . . would keep unemployment under 8 percent. Without the stimulus, the report said employment would rise to about 9 percent in 2010."

Thank you Christina Romer, for more Obama lies. Don't let the door hit you on the posterior on the way out.
Max, look around your screen....seek and use Spellcheck! An amazing tool that will make you see less than sub-human. I believe you may be able to apply for a Brain online, as well.
I would bet that Romer cleaned up on the bailout buying bank stocks and really doesn't want the fight anymore over putting more money into the system in a fascist style to protect banks, credit card companies, real estate companies and Wall Street; it was unconstitutional in the first place and the reason they didn't do it in 1929, and besides they were the ones that started the problem in the first place. The real determining factor will be if a democratic President Obama ends the war and slows manufacturing to a halt bringing on massive inflation in the next few months.
Right! IT was not too hard to see what was going to happen. As I predicted before the first stimulus check was handed out, giving the money to the banks instead of the working people accomplished nothing more than making bank CEO's richer. Nothing helped the working people. If the working man has no money, he won't spend. Pretty easy economics. Do you think someone will go to a bank to get a loan to buy a computer or pair of shoes? If this money had been given to the working people who support this country you would have seen mass spending and job growth. The president has absolutely no clue what americans need. He is completely out of touch.
"She will return to her job as a professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley". What's the old saying? Those than can do, those that can't teach.

Progress is a good thing.
Democrat = going forward
Republican = going backward

Romer was not quoting him, it was her own (and VP Biden's man) assessment that was wrong. They used information that was flawed.
It was a PROJECTION by the way --- not a promise.
Will you "I don't want the facts/ I have right wing media to tell me how to think" people ever understand the basics of economics or... speaking!
