President-elect Donald Trump has filled more top posts on his economic team — picking former Goldman Sachs executive Steven Mnuchin as treasury secretary and financier Wilbur Ross to lead the Commerce Department.

Mnuchin is confirming that he and Ross are joining Trump’s Cabinet, pending confirmation by the Senate.

Interesting. Wilber Ross is a Democrat who served under Bill Clinton and is/was a big Dem fundraiser.

That whole Goldman Sachs thing is what I find interesting.  Trump and his minions trashed Cruz for a far more distant(non-existent IMHO) "connection" to GS.  But now it's going to be great to have GS be part of Trump's cabinet.

Trump's playing six dimensional chess again.

Mnuchin went from wealthy to super-wealthy after he scored a deal from the FDIC on the takeover of IndyMac.

Mnuchin & Ross had a good interview with Maria on Fox Biz this morning. I hope Trump supporters didn't see it, because Mnuchin made a point of saying his focus will be talking to Democrats on Capitol Hill.

Forget about draining the swamp...the Trump Administration will be all about making deals. This isn't about making America great again, this is trickle down, crony capitalist economics on steroids.

Trump interviewed this guy for Treasury and picked Mnuchin over him!  That is a national tragedy!

Don't forget, Steve Bannon is also ex-Goldman Sachs, as well.

Chao on the Cabinet?
Now Mnuchin and Ross?
Dream on.
