We Should Be More Interested

Big news, yet I just can't get interested.

Treasury Secretary John Snow is retiring, and President Bush is naming Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson as the replacement.

I look at the news and just bristle, realizing this is an important story, that Treasury Secretaries can leave their paw prints on the economy (positively or negatively) for years. Not as important as the Fed Chairman, but still rather important.

But the cares of the world have taken their toll, and I just can't get interested. It sounds like one of the multiple economics classes I took in my Masters program years ago. I knew they were important, but darn it, they sure weren't exciting.
