Do NOT appoint Larry Summers to head the Federal Reserve.
Few people who have had input into our economic policy have been more disastrous to the interests of average Americans, and did it less out of ideology than loyalty to only the wealthiest Americans.
It would be nice to see someone who was RIGHT in the 90s get the highest level economic appointments instead of trying to cure cancer with more cancer.

in Washington. A disaster in the making and people are trying to mount a preemptive strike--one of the few occasions when said strike would be justifiable.

I guess we'll get actually someone less unappealing and that will be our victory.
