Re: Obama Unveils Team to Tackle ‘Historic’ Crisis in Economy
VOLCKER, GOOLSBEE NAMED

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker will chair a new economic advisory panel created by President-elect Barack Obama and designed to stabilize financial markets, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The report was confirmed during Obama's press conference later in the morning, when the president-elect himself announced the appointment.

Volcker, 81, has been an important economic adviser to Obama on economic issues. As Federal Reserve chairman in the early 1980s, he was credited with taming inflation through policies that also contributed to a recession at the time.

Looks like the prez-elect and his team are doing all they can to help our present situation.
