His piece in Rolling Stone on Romney and Bain was spot on!

Dr. Paul Krugman as Treasury Sec.. He's well informed and is on the side of the public and not the Wall St. grifter crowd.

Being Treasury Secretary isn't just about setting policy. It means running a huge bureaucracy -- and I don't think Krugman is suited for that.

That said, I'd like to see some role for him within the administration -- but only if they'd actually listen to him.

He's been correct on policy issues all along, and is no corporate Wall Street shill.

He could always hire or promote an able Undersecretary to deal with the bureaucratic issues
of the Treasury Department.

... as to the question "who would Matt Taibbi think should be the next Treasury Secretary?" My immediate choice was Elizabeth Warren! But I couldn't pick a second choice.

If the person can't make heads or tails of a plan, then (s)he gets to decide what to do using just basic accounting/economics principles. All too often, what makes things go bad is way too complicated plans with unintended consequences.
