They give Jack Lew just because he\u2019s inside the White House. He\u2019s the White House Chief of Staff right now \u2013 pretty high marks. They think that he\u2019s the most likely guy to be Treasury Secretary at least that\u2019s according to the people I talked too; major Wall Street CEO\u2019s and executive suite players that I deal with.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the possibility of Erskine Bowles or Larry Fink becoming Treasury Secretary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho comes after him\u2026the names that are bouncing around are Erskine Bowles former Senator from North Carolina, considered a moderate to conservative democrat. Was on the Presidents deficient reduction committee with Alan Simpson and he\u2019s pretty good\u2026The other guy that\u2019s out there and his name is bouncing around, and he\u2019s been bouncing around now for four years is Larry Fink CEO of BlackRock, Inc.\u00a0(NYSE:BLK). I will say this, Larry Fink is a guy I know very well. I considered him a friend. The upside to Larry is clearly that there is no smarter guy on Wall Street that I know right now. He really understands the business. Hes been doing it since 1975 between trading and being an entrepreneur &#8211; \u00a0starting his own firm. I think Larry wants the job. The negative is that he is really associated with the Wall Street crowd.\u00a0 That is something that I don\u2019t think the Obama administration would go for.\u201d<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOX Business Network (FBN) Senior Correspondent Charlie Gasparino reports that White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew will \u201cmost likely\u201d &#8230; <a title=\"Jack Lew is Likely next Treasury Secretary if Obama wins Re-election\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/jack-lew-is-likely-next-treasury-secretary-if-obama-wins-re-election\/\" aria-label=\"More on Jack Lew is Likely next Treasury Secretary if Obama wins Re-election\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":894,"featured_media":1077146,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3439],"tags":[],"states":[],"acf":[],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81758"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/894"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1077146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81758"},{"taxonomy":"states","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.valuewalk.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/states?post=81758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
