I'll be curious to see how Trump implements recusing himself from his businesses.

Where did your comment about congressmen come from? Perhaps it's just a bit of free association.

Nice images!

It wasn't that long ago (the 90's, essentially, and really up until the mid 2000's) that conventional wisdom was to have precisely these sorts of people in government leadership roles.

I mean, if someone's a COO at at giant financial corporation, then they must know what they're doing! Who is better qualified?

In reality, this thinking may be shallow, but it does have merit. If the heads of the Treasury in the US are not to be someone with a pedigree in finance at a global scale, then who do you pick?
