There are 12 Fed Reserve Districts, which I assume we all know. Each District is headed by who???

Are any of these people in the appointment pool or is it just Summers.

Do you think and insider District head knows enough about the whole reserve system to run it?

1. Here's some info

Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Districts#Banks

You can click on each link there for the 12 individual banks/districts and a page will come up - scroll down each page and you will see the names of the people and when their termf expires

2. I know that. Thanks.

5. I'm really NOT being snarky, but I'd like to ask...

If you already knew the names of the folks for each district then why did you ask the question regarding them in your subject line?

[CK_John]

6. Because one of them is the favorite of Wall Street and on DU many are railing against Summers

and I don't believe any of them know what the hell they are talking about.

7. So why not just blurt out the info

without being coy? Or is a Saturday night quiz to see who's sleeping in class? And if so, it is "whom."

3. It is not at all clear that an economist, rather than a financier, should be Chairman of the Board

Prior to Arthur Burns, most Chairmen were from business or finance.

4. I don't know who heads those districts

8. Don't assume anything.

We're not all poli-sci junkies here. I don't know the districts or who heads them. I figure I can always look them up online, if I need to know. Still don't feel like I need to know even now.
