Econ Blogger Joins White House

Brad Setser is ditching his Council on Foreign Relations blog for government access. He will now work for Larry Summers at the National Economic Council.

Setser is part of the Summers/Roubini clique. Summers appars to have been a silent partner at Roubini's firm, before joinning this administration.

Setser writes at his CFR blog that in addition to getting paid by CFR, Nouriel Roubini and RGE, at one point, also paid him to blog.

Setser may be being groomed to takeover for Summers, if Summers replaces Ben Bernanke at the Fed.
