After only five months. From Politico:
Faulkender, the deputy Treasury Secretary, oversees the agency’s operations and has a broad policy portfolio that spans tax, international finance, sanctions and financial regulation. He previously was a finance professor at the University of Maryland’s business school and served as chief economist at the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute.
His Treasury bio here.
My guess — he had too many citations (n=8675).
Net worth $466,000. I’m betting he’s cashing in while there’s still some cashing in to do. Or maybe he has realized that academia is safer in the long run.
Being a technocrat in the felon-in-chief’s administration seems pretty thankless.
Smarter than Antoni, Moore, and Bruce Hall? He had to go.
