A key Democratic Senator said Monday he will not support one of President Joe Biden’s picks to serve on the Federal Reserve board, which could torpedo her chances for confirmation.
Sarah Bloom Raskin, tapped for the post of top banking regulator at the Fed, has become a lightning rod for critics, who say she is hostile to the oil industry, and Republicans have blocked efforts to even hold a vote on her nomination.
Now Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia said Monday he was “unable to support her nomination.”
Manchin, who has been a key swing vote in the evenly split Senate, blocking many of Biden’s initiatives, pointed to Bloom Raskin’s comments on credit for the oil industry.

Stupid is as stupid does .... apparently! Our whole economy will collapse if we go "all electric'. How dumb are people anyway? Exactly where is all this electricity coming from (to charge the EV's?). Unbelievable - and some of these people are supposedly "edumacated" which tells me that education does not trump common sense!
Where are they gonna GIT all that petroleum to run all them new-fangled "automobiles?" Ain't that much oil in all of Pennsylvania! Nosirree, Bob, it's the buckboard and ol' Bessie fer me!
Does it ? We in B.C. Have a fast wilderness area with a huge supply of natural gas beneath it . With the political will it would be relatively easy to generate electricity on the spot . That would allow us to power the transformation to electric . Instead we fight over a pipeline that will end up shipping it to China or leave it in the ground . Meanwhile we build a huge dam to flood productive bottom land to power the pipeline and LNG port . Yup unthinkable .
