the case. wolf read a quote from bob korber who said she might be too dovish about economic policy. is that a concern of your snz. i have expressed those concerns and obviously being an insider, it seems as though she may continue those policies, but again, until she has her hearings and has a chance to testify, we don t really know. i can t let you go without asking you one question about the crisis we re in and about to be in. would you go for what would effectively be a clean debt ceiling increase if it s temporary and a promise of negotiations dealing with the debt deficit and so forth? i think we need to have a negotiated settlement and resolution to all of this. if we could get to that, i think there are a lot of options that could be on the table. the house is trying to signal that the options are on the bab table by signaling the government to open parts of the government, but we need to get this well under way before we reach the debt limit, which is
