In June 2006, Lew was named chief operating officer of Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit, a p p
, proprietary
trading group. The unit he oversaw invested in a hedge fund "that bet on the housing market to collapse."[20]
[2

Insurance.[22] Lew is also a member of the bar in Massachusetts and the District of Columbia.[23]

e
responsible for resource issues, while James Steinberg, who is also
serving as the Deputy Secretary, was responsible for policy.[24][25] Lew

( ) g
Sanders (I-VT), Lew said that he did not believe deregulation was a
"proximate cause" of the financial crisis of 2007–2008: "I don’t personally know the extent to which
deregulation drove it, but I don’t believe that deregulation was the, you know, proximate cause."[28]
On November 18, 2010, Lew was confirmed by the Senate by unanimous consent.
The $3.7 trillion 2011 budget President Obama unveiled the administration estimated reductions to federal
spending deficits by $1.1 trillion over the next decade if adopted and economic assumptions were fully achieved.
Two-thirds of the that estimated reduction would come from spending cuts through a 5-year freeze in
discretionary spending first announced in Obama’s 2011 State of the Union address, as well as savings to
mandatory programs such as Medicare and lower interest payments on the debt that would result from the lower
spending. Tax increases are responsible for the other third of the reduction, including a cap on itemized
reductions for wealthier taxpayers and the elimination of tax breaks for oil and gas companies.[29] Economist
and former financial fraud investigator William K. Black warned that the OMB budget statement prepared under
Lew's direction was "an ode to austerity," and that austerity would force the U.S. economy back into
recession.[30]
In an op-ed in the Huffington Post, Lew cited top Administration priorities to achieve deficit reduction;
including: $400 billion in savings from non-security discretionary spending freezes, $78 billion in cuts to the
Department of Defense, returning to the Clinton-era tax rates for the top 2% of income earners, and lowering the
Corporate tax from 35% to 25%.[31]

Chief of Staff
On January 9, 2012, President Obama announced that Lew would
replace William M. Daley as White House Chief of Staff.[32] Lew's
nomination was followed with criticism[33][34][35][36] after renewed
[33][34][35][36]
reports that he received over $900,000 in bonuses while working as COO
p g
of Citigroup, following the company's $45 billion in TARP rescue funds,
after it saw $27.7 billion in loses, a 90% depletion in value.[37][38]

Lew meeting with President Barack
During his tenure as Chief of Staff, Lew has been seen as a supporter and Obama and the Assistant to the
top negotiator for a "grand bargain" deal between President Obama and President for Legislative Affairs Rob
House Speaker John Boehner, to avoid "Fiscal cliff" sequester cuts and Nabors
tax increases.[1]
Nomination for Treasury Secretary
On January 10th, 2013, President Obama nominated Lew for the position of Secretary of the Treasury.[2] The
nomination became the subject of some humorous commentary, due to Lew's unusual loopy signature, which, if
he is confirmed, will appear on all U.S. paper currency for the duration of his tenure;[39] the signature generated
enough media attention that Obama joked at a press conference that he had considered rescinding his nomination
when he learned of it.[40]
Lew is an Orthodox Jew who observes the Jewish Sabbath [41][42] and attends Congregation Beth Sholom. [43]
Interviewed in a 2010 article, Lew's former boss on the National Security Council, Sandy Berger, commented
that "Lew's faith never got in the way of performing his duties."[41] Berger also said that Lew's commitment to
his family was also extremely important, but that Lew "was able to balance the requirements, which was very,
very hard – and he was determined to observe his religious traditions."[41]
A 2011 press release from the Religion News Service noted that Lew also "has extensive connections in the
p g t
American Jewish community," and that he might be able to help President Obama "build a more friendly
g
rapport" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[44]
