"You have to have a Treasury Secretary who understands the economy, the American economy and the global economy," Clinton said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Clinton is under fire for her ties to Wall Street. Clinton has become a millionaire from giving numerous speeches to big banks and investment firms -- pocketing about $200,000 apiece.

When Clinton was pressed on whether she would appoint someone from Wall Street to be her Treasury Secretary, she refused to say no.

9. lol

[Avalux]

3. Surprise surprise. n/t

[stillwaiting]

4. She HAS to appoint Wall Street people so some of her supporters can cling to the idea

that she is simply being led astray by her advisors. It's how it works.

Those that love Hillary will believe she is getting bad advice, and it will help her maintain SOME degree of support from the masses.

I will vote for her if I have to do so. Please don't make me have to do so.

26. Or maybe that's what one can buy for $675,000?

10. The Treasury Secretary will come from Goldman Sachs.

21. yes, she has to pay back the "$675K is what they offered" Goldman execs

[JRLeft]

27. I believe something like the last 5 were all from Goldman Sachs.

11. Do I smell Larry Summers, Chapter III?

[antigop]

12. Maybe Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock nt

13. That's because she most certainly will! I wouldn't put it past her to rehire GREENSPAN. though

he's probably too old now, but someone of his ilk. Whoever it is, it won't be anyone who wants to see the middle class do better. That's pretty much guaranteed!

PEACE
LOVE

24. Plot Twist: She Hires Greenspan's Wife!

Another plus for the establishment for Mitchell is that Mitchell already knows where the bodies are buried, since she sleeps with one of them!

15. Whoever Bernie picks. nt

23. Jamie Dimond, allegedly a Dem

[Broward]

17. Just one more reason to rule her out in the voting booth.

[Roland99]

18. All Wall St execs know is how to protect themselves and keep their friends rich

they don't give even one shit about the rest of the economy yet it directly influences their wealth over the long-term.

[GoneOffShore]

19. Oh, I know Blankfein! That's who she'll pick!

She just keeps going down that rabbit hole.

20. Clueless to the obvious fact on how we got into this mess in the first place.

But then Hillary is clueless about how the 99% have to live.

25. It's not a mess for GS exec's. They seem to be doing okay.
