http://signon.org/sign/nominate-paul-krugman?source=mo&id=60452-3055806-dvwhMIxWe now KNOW that Krugman was right and Summers and Geithner were totally wrong. Time to correct the massive mistake and push for a People's Treasury Secretary, someone who will fight for US, not Wall Street.

Press reports say President Obama will soon nominate a new Treasury Secretary . Press speculation has centered on candidates likely to support the Wall Street agenda of cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits and other domestic spending rather than government policies to create jobs. We want President Obama to nominate Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who opposes austerity and wants the government to focus on creating jobs.
That's why I signed a petition to President Barack Obama, which says:
"We urge you to nominate Paul Krugman for Treasury Secretary. Krugman will protect Social Security and Medicare from benefit cuts, promote policies to create jobs, and help defeat the austerity dogma in Washington and around the world."
