Nicole Gelinas (born June 13, 1975)[1] is an American conservative journalist, Chartered Financial Analyst, editor for the New York Post, and senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research.
[6] She has authored columns in many papers, such as The New York Times,[7] The Los Angeles Times,[8] City Journal,[9] U.S. News & World Report,[10] City & State,[11] The Wall Street Journal,[12] The Atlantic,[13] The Daily Beast,[14] National Affairs,[15] American Banker,[16] and Business Insider.
[21] In her book, After the Fall, Gelinas states that two decades of broken regulation and the federal government's adoption of a "too big to fail" policy for the largest or most complex financial companies, intervention eventually posed an untenable risk to the economy.
"[24] Proposing an alternative plan, she suggested "Congress should instead follow the regulatory philosophy that served the nation well for 50 years after the Depression: Set consistent limits on borrowing across similar financial instruments, no matter what their perceived risks.
Citing New York MTA worker benefits and pensions, she has stated that certain government projects spend money where it is not affordable to do so and that it is necessary to "[get them] in line with fiscal reality.
