Biden's New Economic Advisor Writes Dear Diary for Daily Kos

Looks like the first Kossack has been named to the new administration--if you don't count Barack Obama himself!

Upon hearing that Vice President-elect Joe "Pay Attention to Me!" Biden has added the new post of Chief Economist and Economic Policy Adviser to the Vice President to the VP's Office, I grew curious. I then read that he named today Jared Bernstein, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute and a member of the CBO's advisory committee, to this post. Interested, I checked out his wikipedia page.

Now, you can do your own research or email me if you have more information on this guy, but from what I can gather, he is a regular columnist for the American Prospect online, and he has published op-eds in the New York Times and the Washington Post.[8] He has also written diaries on the Daily Kos.

If you want to read some of his garbage, here it is.
