Elizabeth Warren could face hurdles to a potential Biden Cabinet position

Elizabeth Warren reportedly intends to make her pitch as treasury secretary in a Biden administration — but the Massachusetts senator’s dreams may be dashed if Republicans retain control of the U.S. Senate, or if Democrats need her to maintain a slim majority.

Elections have consequences. Let's hope people vote with this understanding.

It will be like the 1970’s during the Peanut Farmer four years...

Biden is not going to be elected- take it to the bank

 

[gipper]

Not to worry. She’s bought and paid for by Wall Street, like all the past treasury secretaries.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Her staff would end up being filled by anti-capitalists who will look for ways to punish those of us who create wealth.

 

[BluesLegend]

Hurdles? What like being a blithering idiot?

Crazy Bernie will be Sec. of Labor and Andrew Weissman will be AG, Keith Olbermann will be brought aboard as WH Press Secretary.

Elections have consequences, and people need to realize that when they are sealed in the voting cubicles on Tuesday

 

[rightwinger]

She would make a great Treasury Secretary but no way is Biden going to allow a Republican Governor in Massachusetts to replace her

The Republican governor is a hard core devotee of Sleepy Joe. I don't see that as a problem for Pocahontas' chances.

Elizabeth Warren would make a great Treasury Secretary. But I would not hold my breath. Warren is one of the few members of Congress that understands the real problem with our current economy. The reason wages continue to show little growth, the reason millions of Americans remain in poverty while the uber wealthy continue to see immense gains, rests on one simple economic force, rent-seeking.

Our very system, from the corporate tax cut to the differing treatment of earned and unearned income, both encourages and facilitates rent-seeking. Warren is intuitively aware of this, and she understands the steps necessary to curtail the immense amount of rent-seeking that is siphoning off huge amounts of wealth and destroying innovation. Which is probably why she will not be the Secretary of the Treasury.

The classic example of rent-seeking behavior is political donations by corporations. The first step to curtailing rent seeking is to eliminate the gravy train that is fueling the political process. Fat chance our representatives are going to be willing to do that.

But let me close out by pointing to a real example of just how effectively the powers that be have not only established rent-seeking, but through the use of real propaganda, the kind Aldous Huxley warned against, have indoctrinated the public to accept this rent seeking willingly. What is a free market? What is the free market free of? If you google it, if you are in a business school where they make you read the terrible screed of Ayn Rand, you will instantly say it is an economy free from government control. That was not how Adam Smith defined a free market. A free market is free from RENT SEEKING. When we finally realize this, and finally take the steps to rein in rent seeking in our current economy, the frontier curve will begin to expand, poverty will be curtailed, and incomes will start increasing along with productivity. But it is a battle that few Americans understand, and even fewer are willing to fight. Elizabeth Warren is one of those few.

Creating wealth would mean making more pie. Taking more of the pie that is already there is not creating wealth, it is RENT SEEKING. Warren would rein in rent seeking and encourage real wealth creation.

Why?

I hope! Better than the incompetent moron we have now.

This just may be the stupidest thing ever posted on US Messageboard.

I’ve read up on that and it doesn’t seem to be an issue. The Mass legislature is Democratic and would reject it.

edit: I’d be more worried about a special election. The people elected Scott Brown.
