"When normal Americans know who the Secretary of the Treasury is, that's not good."Normally, we're all for people know more, rather than less, about key government policy makers, but there's a more than a grain of truth to the above. At right is Andrew Mellon, who was Treasury Secretary during the stock market crash of 1929. Mellon would have been decidedly opposed to the Federal Government's proposal to purchase assets from financial institutions (or "cash for trash" as Paul Krugman has dubbed it).
