Joe's Latest Bright Idea: A Commie in Charge of the Currency

[Bud_Spencer]

Yes, it's true:

The Cornell University law school professor’s radical ideas might make even Bernie Sanders blush. She graduated from Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship. Thirty years later, she still believes the Soviet economic system was superior, and that U.S. banking should be remade in the Gosbank’s image.

Looking through that article -- the reliability of which must be judged against the fact that its source is the usually batshit insane WSJ editorial page -- I see nothing attributed to her that is clearly a bad idea. Though I can understand how the target readership of financiers might be terrified.

Nothing I've heard of ever did go wrong with the Soviet banking system. Their problems lay elsewhere. (Mainly in declining oil prices.)

You've used them as a model in your support of their espionage asset Donald Trumps, so I don't see where your problem is.

They follow an alternative history.

In their history, Moscow won the Cold War
and we're being lied to by everyone outside
of a few elite intellectuals; guardians of truth.

Russia, like East Germany, was such a great place,
that they had to erect barriers and use armed para-
military police types in order to keep the refugees from
the West out of their country and stealing all that free stuff.

Sort of like putting someone that hates clean air and clean water as the head of the EPA.

OR making the Sec of Energy a person that said the entire cabinet position should be eliminated

OR appointing federal judges that have never tried a case

The comptroller supervises the financial sector. Last time that sector was effectively deregulated, we got the savings & loan crisis. A hands-off approach is inadvisable.
