Biden’s Nominees Are a Display of Liberal Incompetence

 Julie Su, President Joe Biden's pick to head the Department of Labor, is slated to testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on April 20.

In the meantime, workers across the country might check out how other Biden nominees have fared.

Phillip Washington, Biden's pick to head the Federal Aviation Administration, has withdrawn his name from nomination.

The Biden White House also advanced a curious nominee for comptroller of the currency in the Department of the Treasury.

Saule Omarova is a native of the former Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic and a graduate of Moscow State University, which she attended on a "Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship." In 2019, nearly 30 years after the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed, Omarova wrote, "Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there. Market doesn't always 'know best.'" There was also no freedom of speech there in Omarova's view, government officials know best.

In "The People's Ledger: How to Democratize Money and Finance the Economy," published in 2020, Omarova set forth the vision of "How democratizing access to central bank money would - and should - transform and democratize the entire financial system." The paper offers a "Blueprint for a comprehensive restructuring of the central bank balance sheet as the basis for redesigning the core architecture of modern finance." The Lenin Scholar wanted to essentially eliminate independent banks and have the Federal Reserve control every American's money.

Embattled Americans have to wonder why Omarova was nominated in the first place.
