Bernie's cabinet.

With Bernie as President who would you suggest on his cabinet?

In regards to his Attorney General, I can only think of one man...Mike Pappantonio from "Ring Of Fire". He is one of the great left wing talk show hosts out there and he sounds like he's always spot on as a lawyer.

Other suggestions you may have?

He is strong on foreign affairs (See CFR discussion the day after the debate): wants to avoid confrontation in the middle east, but recognizes China as the clear and present danger.

Elizabeth Warren for VP
Paul Krugman for Secretary of Commerce.
Robert Reich for Secretary of Labor
Joseph Stiglitz for Treasury Secretary (which would have the Federal Reserve swept inside)

He should be made Admiral-General of the Arts. His budget would be donated by the public, and he would appear at plays, operas, art exhibits, and movie openings as the President's representative. He would give out awards and scholarships. People who donated a lot could get the title of Patron/Patroness of the arts. The title could come with a cane and a cape, perfect for accenting your tux/gown.

The Admiral-General could also deliver the President's speeches. People would line up for those.

And this would keep him from running against us in 2020.

lol
