Where's Buffy?

Apparently both McCain and Obama have suggested that Warren Buffet might be a good Secretary of the Treasury. I won't detail why this might be a bad idea, but I will suggest an alternative: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Tyler Cowen:

Hypotheses which are too simple to be true as stated:
We need a new banking system. A new banking system takes years to build. We will be in an economic downturn for years and because this crisis is global it will not be better than Japan in the 1990s. It is hard to build a new banking system through the current, old, nearly insolvent banking system. Maybe some smart person has a plan to build a new banking system through the old system, while avoiding toxic contamination through the problems of low-solvency institutions. That smart person remains silent. I have not given up hope. The Great Depression had bank failures, we have bank zombies.

Surely zombies can't be harder to do in than vampires. Right?
