Meet the new boss

Here’s what some people are saying about the new Treasury Sec. – “Paulson has largely supported the Bush administration's fiscal decisions, he has sharply veered from the White House's position on global warming, calling on the government to take "urgent" action to curb greenhouse gas emissions. But it is still unclear whether the administration will actually listen to Paulson's dissenting opinions. "The Bush administration will want someone to toe their line," said Gavin Friend at Commerzbank AG in London. The Washington Post today notes that Paulson is "not likely to change the administration's policy." It remains uncertain whether Paulson will be "a wise steward of taxpayer dollars," or just another salesman for White House's economic policies.” Center for American Progress
