		<description>So...  Bill Clinton was a socialist and anyone that wants to return to his tax rates is an evil socialist?...  Why the hell didn&#039;t we know this when he was in office and were a prosperous non-socialist country that didn&#039;t have to nationalize its banks?</description>

		<description>Some random thoughts:

- CTO should not be a cabinet level position.  There is no way this job deserves the same level of importance as the Secretary of Defense

- Gates would be excellent IMO, but too much baggage from his days at Microsoft and everything he did would come under too much scrutiny 

- Bezos and Ballmer are busy running big companies and would not take the job, and would be miserable dealing with all the politics involved

- Lessig would be a disaster - too much of a Microsoft hater and pundit

- My votes would be for Werner Vogels (current CTO of Amazon) if you could convince him to leave AMZN, or Greg Papadopoulos from Sun.</description>

The use of force distorts investment and cheats people who were dumb enough to hold dollars.

And of course, proponents of these bankrupt policies tell us the solution is...
