Larry Kudlow just insisted on a rumor we've heard several times: Michael Bloomberg is going to be treasury secretary. Kudlow says he heard from "deep insiders" that the pick has been made and it's Bloomberg.

Larry Kudlow seemed serious as a heart attack when he mentioned this on CNBC today. Could be: Little Timmy is the last man standing on the finance team and Oblamer played golf with hizzoner on August 27th in Martha's Vineyard.

Out of the frying pan, in to the fire.

So who will be the Mayor?

[GeronL]

or maybe he’ll take over for Rick Sanchez?? /s

[Psycho_Bunny]

"the pick has been made and it's Bloomberg"

Please. No.

Please.

[ltc8k6]

Did they check the NYC budget situation for an example of Bloomberg’s work?

[Candor7]

Ram Manual, they kicked him out of Chicago already.

[GeronL]

Treasury Department will begin antigun seizures soonafter

[Undocumented_capitalist]

Is there a vice-mayor?

[LibFreeOrDie]

So who will be the Mayor?

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf

No wonder he was rolling out the prayer rug at Ground Zero for the Hamas crowd. Wanted to get that nomination in BO’s cabinet...

[muddler]

No time like the present for a revolution.

[Sooth2222]

The order of succession is Public Advocate (Bill de Blasio), then Comptroller (John C. Liu).

His payback for approving, endorsing the Ground Zero mosque.

Did they check the NYC budget situation for an example of Bloomberg’s work?

Sadly, they probably did and that's what got him the job.

...and then it will forbid the use of United States currency to purchase of anything containing trans-fats or salt.

[presently no screen name]

Exactly! He was asked and told of his reward to approve it.

[9YearLurker]

I’m thinking of new dietary taxes and filings through the IRS. He’d just love overseeing the direct hookup from all of our checking accounts to the Obamacare coffers. I wonder if he could get the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms transferred from the DOJ.

[wiggen]

Awful choice because he,like Timmy The Tax Cheat,think the treasury is to be used for a social agenda.

[CincyRichieRich]

Like none of Bloomberg’s investments will benefit from any decisions made???

I guess that doesn’t matter when liberal elites are involved.

He knows P & L, but is an elitist who doesn’t care what taxes are since he has enough to withstand them...that’s why all the billionaires seem to think that way.

I can only see he and the libs at GS benefitting...nothing more, nothing less...OH, and a biggie: I can see Muslim investment houses benefiting...wonder why?
