Jared Bernstein, chief economic adviser to Vice President Biden and a White House advocate for more spending to create jobs, is leaving at the end of April to join a prominent Washington think tank.
Bernstein is close to labor unions and has been skeptical of free trade arguing that more government spending to boost the economy was critical.
Bernstein is not an economist by training; He studied music, social work and other fields and got his doctorate from Columbia in social welfare.

A college degree in how to take other peoples money.
Only a leftist would need a college degree to know how to be a thief.
LOL. The "tank" is getting some real brain power there. Guess they didn't think very well when they hired him, which makes the rest of their thinking rather suspect.
Let’s be kind to Jared... The Summer of Recovery (2010) was a complete success. Joe Biden is now responsible for getting an agreement on spending compromises necessary to satisfy the right on the Debt Ceiling vote — no problem... he can sleepwalk his way through those negotiations.
So now Jared can go off to do the important work at the progressive left-leaning economic think-tank he’s going to where they haven’t been right on anything policy-wise in his lifetime.
Onama take advise from an advocate for more spending to create jobs.Pssst media this is your he’s so smart guy.
