I'm not sure if I agree on Patreaus, and Romney though.

I don't know too much about Petreaus, I'll research.
I wouldn't like to see Romney Secretary of State, unless he's changed considerably. He has an alpha male personality and America doesn't need two alpha males attempting to fashion foreign policy. I also feel his attitude toward other countries and foreign relations in general stems from unwarranted paranoia.

Take a look at the Treasury Secretary selection: ... (show quote)
Henry Paulson was not a bad Secretary of the Treasury, and had been with Goldman Sachs.
From Wikipedia:
Paulson was nominated on May 30, 2006, by U.S. President George W. Bush to succeed John Snow as the Treasury Secretary.[16] On June 28, 2006, he was confirmed by the United States Senate to serve in the position.[17] Paulson was sworn in at a ceremony held at the Treasury Department on the morning of July 10, 2006.
Paulson identified the wide gap between the richest and poorest Americans as an issue on his list of the country's four major long-term economic issues to be addressed, highlighting the issue in one of his first public appearances as Secretary of Treasury.[18]
Paulson conceded that chances were slim for agreeing on a method to reform Social Security financing, but said he would keep trying to find bipartisan support for it.[19]
He also helped to create the Hope Now Alliance to help struggling homeowners during the subprime mortgage crisis.[20]

Just now looked lightly at Petraeus bio on Wikipedia. Doesn't say what kind of diplomatic experience he has had.

Well, seems like Mr. Mnuchin knows how to make money. Maybe he can turn that gift into making the USA a profitable, going concern again.
For America, Prosperity = Security. I hope folks ponder that.

There seems to be a connection between Bilderberg and Petraeus. That bothers me.
And what does Petraeus know, and is keeping hidden, about the "death" of Bin Laden? That bothers me too.

Give it some time. You are making suppositions about the future based on fear. I believe that the wealth will be earned for the country, not the Secretary.
Tell me this: What kind of person would you have Trump appoint for either Treasury or Commerce?

You are correct, my suppositions are based on fear, fear that we as taxpayers will again get stuck bailing out banks and being insulted while doing so.
Indeed a Treasury or Commerce cabinet post should be filled by one with extremely keen business acumen ( and by all means NOT a politician).
I'd expect that President elect Trump not fill this post with representatives or former executives of the "bail-out banks". I personally feel that filling cabinet posts with people associated with the 2008 bail out is a slap in the face to the working men and women of this country.
There are certainly sharp business leaders out there who would be repulsed by the thought of taxpayer money bailing out private institutions ( which kinda sounds like socialism!?) who are the kind of people I'd like Mr Trump to post to a cabinet position- to answer your question.

Oh, that's too bad.
My last post to you. Unless you stop allowing your sore feelings to get the best of you.

Remember Obama blaming Bush 43 for everything that went wrong during his first term?
Get ready for the MSM to parade the pretender on screen, now telling how he deserves the credit for President Trump's SUCCESS!
All about how he did the heavy work, and now President Trump's administration is reaping the benefits!

None of them ill be able to fix it for the rust belt workers our economy is low pay service economy now, a post industrial economy and its never coming back but you can't blame Trump for mining those people for their vote Hillary was not speaking to them. 10 years ago they gave the Congress to the Democrats and two years later the Whitehouse for the candidate selling hope and change but it never came and no one from that party was speaking to them so they bought Trumps populist message. The Dems did it to themselves They have no one to blame but them selves. They had their chance and blew it

Trump isn't draining the swamp he is filling it with alligators. Treasury Secretary is another executive from Government Sachs
