HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026605.txt
The document discusses a story about Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House counsel, who has turned down an offer to succeed Eric Holder as U.S. Attorney General. She was concerned that her experience as a close adviser to President Obama would lead to a difficult confirmation process in the current highly charged partisan environment and that it could ignite political attacks against the president. Her withdrawal leaves no obvious front-runner to replace Holder, who announced his intention to step down once a replacement is confirmed. Other candidates being considered for the position include Solicitor General Don Verrilli; Labor Secretary Tom Perez; Loretta Lynch, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York; and Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

The document discusses the US debt ceiling negotiations and how they impact large cap growth stocks and rising corporate profits. The writer compares the current situation to a similar discussion in the 1980s when President Reagan scolded Congressional Republicans for delaying debt ceiling increases, which at that time was only half of what it is today relative to GDP or government revenues. The writer argues that while unconstrained debt growth with no plan to slow it is bad, default is also a very bad idea and suggests that debt limit legislation serves as a way for a democracy to decide whether mega-deficits are in the long-term public interest.
