Roy Beck raised an interesting question today on his NumbersUSA blog.
Dr. Norm Matloff writes
As many of you will recall, last week I reported on the Sanders/Grassley amendment to the economic stimulus package now being considered in Congress. See here.
The amendment, which passed unanimously in a voice vote, would place certain restrictions on hiring of H-1Bs by financial institutions receiving TARP bailout money.
A featured review, "Charles Darwin, Abolitionist," by Christopher Benfey, a professor of English, in the Feb. 1, 2009 New York Times Sunday Book Review asserts:
After Hank Paulson's turn as Treasury Secretary, the conventional wisdom became: We don't need as Treasury Secretaries anymore of these CEOs with 700 million simoleons, a fancy suit, and a firm handshake. We've had enough self-confident blowhards with endless Wall Street connections and conflicts of interest. Instead, we need a ... civil servant! That's right, a career bureaucrat, a regulator. Why didn't anybody think of this before?
