Nobel Prize winner in economics, Princeton professor and NYT columnist, Paul Krugman, who calls it right all the time.

Alan Greenspan?! Is that a joke? I just hope he doesn’t choose anyone from U of C due to the Milton Friedman connections there.

Krugman

Mary Ann Modelskyl from Scranton, PA!

1)Volcker 2)Geithner NOT Lawrence Summers. What a toad.

Peter Ueberroth!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hands down this guy can do the job.

Paul Krugman, for sure.

The old system doesn’t work - and using people who are part of this old civilization won’t work for the future. To prepare for the future we have to totally rework the economic and social system. How can we do this? By putting a stop to speculation on the stock market and on currencies and by creating small businesses in local economies, where only the owners and the staff, or perhaps other people who care about the business, can hold shares. The new way will not have large multinationals who cheat and manipulate our governments for their own vested interests and who try to monopolize every sector of our world. A new world will be one where all people are treated with dignity and have a way to make a living which comfortably allows them to have food, water, utilities, a home, clothing, education and healthcare - and doesn’t leave so many people without the necessities. If any of the people you have mentioned can do this, then they are the ones who are suitable for the job. Otherwise our financial future should not be left in the hands of those who have already contributed to a system which has led to the downfall of so many people on this planet. My husband is an economist and I am a futurist, together we predicted that this ‘top heavy’, unfair economic system would not be sustainable for much longer. Karma and spiritual justice would eventually see that our civilization would fall. Unfortunately humanity has not yet learned that we must be kind to all people and must appreciate our world. I wrote all of this in my last book “AlterQuest - Shape the Future”, which was published two years ago and I have also written about many of the workable solutions which have already been tried by communities all over the globe. I think a new system should be shaped by regular people who come together to evaluate the problems and find better solutions for the present and the future. The women of the world know what is needed to survive and thrive - for ourselves and our families. Come on ladies, let’s make ourselves heard.

Treasury? Do we still have one?

Appoint me. I can’t do any worse than Paulson.

Sandy Berger

Which of these people said “better not let Lehman go under!” They should be on the short list!!!

I like Michael Bloomberg…

Who do you think Obama should choose as the next Treasury Secretary? An unemployed teller from Washington Mutual.
