on Reddit.

But be careful what you ask - you saw what he did to Bob Woodward.

Hey Reddit, I'm the Director of the National Economic Council and Assistant to President Obama for Economic Policy. I've been in the West Wing for a while now, having served on the National Economic Council for more than 10 years, starting in 1993 under President Clinton. Fun fact: I also consulted for the TV show "The West Wing." Really hoping you all are kinder than the folks at LemonLyman. As Josh would say, I applaud your interest in government... so ask me anything.
I'll be answering your questions from 2 to 3 p.m. EDT. I'd like to talk about the President's plan to reduce the deficit (which you can check out here: http://wh.gov/presidentsplan), but I'll be taking other questions too.
