Word on the street is that Powell will become Secretary of Education...

As fir capital gains taxes being raised??? Why not, Dougie... We haven't seen folks doing anyhting with the money but either lending it buying more stuff they don't need... I haven't seen where they are using the dough to create new jobs so that argument you can throw out the window...

As to Wall Street v. Main Street... Yeah, I'd have to say that I am more than a little concerned about many of Obama's picks because of their ties to Wall Street but I guess he is thinkin' that seein' as they have those close ties then maybe if he keeps a sharp eye on them that given the mess that we have now that they will be the best players to sell Wall Street on a new culure of thinking... But I will admit that, while it is bold, it is also risky...
