What is so terribly broken about the Democratic policy world that anyone thought tapping *Larry Summers* for future economic policy was a reasonable thing to do, rather than completely unhinged?
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.
