Definitely a different approach from what we've seen in recent history. It will be interesting to see how this developes.

    Feinstein's husband didn't know shit about building a railroad but auto-magically got the award for California's high speed rail project after the feds kicked-in money.

    Then instead of "jobs created" it became government jobs "saved" - compliments of the millennials that were too young to vote.

    Remember the image of Obama in 2008, looking like FDR with shit-eating grin and pencil cigarette sticking up in the air? It was billed as the New New Deal.

    And in came the think tank liberals, executive orders, attempts to stack the Supreme Court, money manipulation, shovel ready jobs, blaming the Hoover/Bush Administration, global warhawkism, NYT reporting on Stalin/Castro's paradise.....

    This will get interesting....

    I was under the impression Trump inherited 15,000
    Apartments free of debt in NYC. If So his dad did pretty well.

    At least they will not be tempted by money and power...they already have that...so, "Maybe???" they'll do the right thing..?

    Isn't it refreshing, there are no poor people that don't know how to succeed coming to his cabinet. I wonder, but not that I ever really want to know, what Hillary would have lined her halls with? Would it have been the Sharpton's, Maddow's, the guy that drizzled down his leg when Obama got elected, kind of staff?

    Let’s see here, one can gain wealth by earning it, begging it or stealing it. Each method has its own skill set. I prefer the earning it skill set, which makes the proposed Cabinet the greatest I have seen. And, it does not hurt to reflect that at the time of the Revolutionary War, George Washington was the most wealthy man in America.

    "Always follow the Money"...use this to guide your hopes for "...a different approach.."

    Obama appointed Goldman Sachs people to run the financial positions in his cabinet...so has Trump...

    Goldman is "too big to fail" and one of the stockholders in the Federal Reserve...

    Small business is the largest job creator in a capitalist economy...there was no one from that list in Obama's administration, nor, so far, on Trump's...

    Always follow the money...

    Thats because liberals "should" be wealthy, but real producers dont deserve the money. Just ask Pelosi.

    I wouldnt characterize them as "wealthy". They are basically rational and successful and therefore wealthy. I think they will do a far better job than the politically correct liberals Obama appointed.

    I am not as concerned with how much money you have or all the details of how you earned it as I am with what you do with it. The way I see Trump and all of his rich appointment picks is that none of them needed the pains of what they will go through and they could just as easily have stayed comfortable right at home enjoying their wealth. I respect them for trying because I know they will be met with fierce resistance all the way. All of them could easily pick up their balls and go home and take the ball court, playing field and golf courses with them.

    Not a peep by the MSM of Obama burying his most anti-Semite act to date - abstaining in the security council vote and resolution ordering Israel to roll back their settlements.

    Trump deserves the chance to act to lead America toward more prosperous days with greater individual liberty and freer markets.

    At least Trump made it the old fashioned way with hard work and perseverance- and he definitely failed a lot too.
