UK’s Guardian newspaper says she should be in Treasury

A Guardian editorial suggests US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation boss Sheila Bair should be the next US Treasury secretary.

“The golden thread running through Ms Bair's career is independence. She was the Republican who dared to run for a house seat while supporting women's rights on abortion, the commodity-futures regulator who tried to block the Enron-isation of the US energy market, and the financial regulator who spotted the sub-prime crisis coming,” the Guardian says.
