Austan Goolsbee jumped from Chicago, where he taught economics at the Booth School of Business, to Washington, where he was tapped to be chief economist for the President's Recovery Advisory Board. And on Monday he jumped into the fray with Stephen Colbert. Goolsbee defended the Obama Administration's approach to fighting the recession, its handling of the General Motors bankruptcy, and he told the Comedy Central host, "A year from now, we will be in a very happy place."
