Has anyone else noticed that new OMB Director Jim Nussle is no where to be found?
Think about this. It's the last week of the fiscal year, no fiscal 2008 appropriations have yet been enacted, Congress has to pass an increase in the debt ceiling by next Monday, and Alan Greenspan has been everywhere the past week saying terrible things about the Bush budget and economic plan.
And Jim Nussle hasn't been seen or heard from.
It can't be that he's still learning about the issues. Before he left the House to run for governor of Iowa, he was chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Is it possible that, like every other member of the Bush cabinet, he's being kept off the front lines?
