Why Oh Why Isn't Paul Krugman Our Treasury Secretary?

Oh. Yeah. 'Cause he wasn't ever a mucky-muck at Goldman-Sachs. This was in the NYT yesterday:

Americans are angry at Wall Street, and rightly so. First the financial industry plunged us into economic crisis, then it was bailed out at taxpayer expense. And now, with the economy still deeply depressed, the industry is paying itself gigantic bonuses. If you aren’t outraged, you haven’t been paying attention. (Read the rest here.)

I am outraged, but feel impotent to do much. When it comes to money, I don't have a lot in the first place to use as any kind of leverage, and I'm already trying my hardest to do socially responsible things with it. I guess the best I can do is attempt to educate people.
