With all the talk about who Joe Biden is going to pick as his VP, there are other important positions that will also need to be filled.

First of all, law and order will need to be restored. The corruption within our government, from US Senators to Wall Street, is rampant. We will need someone with the knowledge and the courage to attack white collar criminals. We will need an Attorney General of the caliber of Andrew Cuomo or Kamala Harris.

The Secretary of the Treasury will need someone that understands how the markets work and how Big Business manipulates and uses information from the American people in monopolistic ways. We need someone with the knowledge of an Elizabeth Warren or a Katie Porter.

The Secretary of Defense will need to re-evaluate the questionable relationships created by the present Administration and what the real threats to our nation are at this time? We will need someone with geopolitical knowledge of the world, as well as the military needs of our country. It could be a General, or someone else with expertise to run the Defense Department. It would need to be someone of the caliber of a John Kerry.

The Secretary of State will need to be someone that can rebuild our relationships around the world, after the demolishment of our foreign policy by Trump and Pompeo and the Republicans. It would need a person with intricate details and knowledge of our allies and enemies. It could use someone of the caliber of a Susan Rice.

There will be many important positions to fill and Democrats should be contemplating how they are going to put this country back together. There is a good chance that they will inherit an economy that looks like a Depression. Many people may need assistance with jobs and with food and housing. We will need dedicated and aggressive public servants to tackle these severe problems ahead.

The VP choice is important but it is not the only important position. There are many others. The most important position in 2021 will be the person sitting in the White House.
