Twelve Questions Progressives Should Ask Jack Lew

[dotymed]

9. Unfortunately, this just indicates a continuation

of our corporatist/fascist policies of the last 30 years. More thieving banksters running our government.
IF our president really were interested in helping average people, he would appoint a treasury secretary interested in improving our plight, not extending the hegemony of corporatists.
It even makes me wonder about the presidents support of Elizabeth Warren as the head of the consumer "watchdog" agency. Talking about duality, if Warren wanted to reign in the banksters (I think she does), how could Obama support her and want to appoint a bankster who has been instrumental in passing "free-trade acts" that have decimated our working class and running a citigroup hedge fund that was betting on the collapse of our housing market?
Damn, WE have to stand up and be heard. It's like that evangelist who was going to preside at Obama's swearing in. "They" knew that he is a lunatic homophobe, just like rick warren at the first inauguration. When progressives started bitching about it, viola, he was replaced. Many on DU claimed that he just wasn't thoroughly vetted...bullshit.
Maybe, if we make enough noise, we can get a treasury secretary that is not a fascist...prolly not.
This was OUR Democratic party, not the third ways fascists. We need to re-take it or start a real Democratic party for the people...
