I wrote about this a few months back but wanted to repeat that Jon Huntsman would be a good choice for Treasury Secretary . Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has announced his intention to leave. Now that we have settled the fiscal cliff issues in part (but also put off parts for a few months), President Obama must work with the Republicans in Congress to continue the recovery and improve upon the economy of the United States.

Both sides have very different ideas about what we should do and there is a lack of trust. Trust would certainly improve the chances of finding some middle ground that both sides can agree on. Perhaps one way to improve that trust is by naming a new Treasury Secretary that both sides can trust.

Jon Huntsman ran in the Republican presidential primary and was a successful governor of a conservative state. He was also President Obama’s ambassador to China. Both sides have reason to trust him.

In addition, Jon Huntsman has made serious proposals about economic regulation and job growth and is a good choice as Treasury Secretary.
