Why isn’t this man at Treasury?

**Posted by Phineas

That’s the question I ask myself every time Rep. Paul Ryan [1] (R-WI) speaks about America’s economic and fiscal problems. Then I remember it’s because we have a (Social) Democratic, corporatist president who prefers someone who is either an admitted tax-cheat [2] or an incompetent [3].

But I digress.

In the video below, Congressman Ryan describes the three qualities needed in a reformed tax code that is aimed at promoting real economic growth and a return to prosperity: fairness, competitiveness, and simplicity.

Take that, progressives.

And I’m kidding a bit in the headline; while I suspect Ryan would be superb at Treasury (or any economics related job in a new administration), I’d rather he stay in the House as a powerful committee chairman for a good, long time in order to be in place to put the brakes on crazy spending schemes.
