TAKE IT TO THE BANK: Biden’s pick for currency comptroller shows his love affair with socialism.
Saule Omarova was named by the White House in September as the ideal for comptroller of the currency in part, because she would be the “first woman and person of color” to serve in that role.
Unfortunately, she also brings a lot of communist baggage to the spot.
As The Wall Street Journal reported, Omarova wants to outright eliminate banks.
“She graduated from Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship,” the news outlet wrote. “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.”
She’s tweeted about the deficiencies of the free market in terms of guaranteeing gender equity — something that capitalism doesn’t even concern itself with, at least not on ye olde profit and loss statements, the standard-bearer of corporate successes. And she’s outright hostile to the idea of supply and demand determining the likes of salaries and product prices, preferring instead to see the federal government — the state — set such values.
So just to get this straight: Biden wants a flaming unapologetic communist in charge of America’s banking industry.
As if the proudly socialist, loudly petulant Squad in Congress weren’t bad enough.
I don’t really blame John Gill for Omarova, but it is some crew that President Klain is assembling:
● Senate Confirms Radical Eco-Terrorist as Chief of the Bureau of Land Management.
● Kamala Harris doing damage control after encouraging student who accused Israel of genocide.
Tanden eventually withdrew her OMB nomination, but: Neera Tanden lands in the White House, after all. “The White House confirmed on Friday that Biden had appointed Tanden to be a senior adviser. She will start on Monday. The move came two months after the veteran Democratic policy adviser, known for her combative Twitter feed and in-your-face politics, withdrew her bid to become Biden’s budget director — Biden’s first, and, to this point, only failed nominee and one of his few political setbacks thus far.”
Flashback: The Mark of Klain. “[A]ll in all, things have worked out pretty darn well for Ron Klain. For America? Not so much.”
