C. a tax cheat (heck thats how obama and the dems choose people by how many laws they managed to break without being caught)..

I suppose it is a lot easier to get undivided loyalty from your underlings when you have a fat dossier on them.

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THEM TO DO THIS TO US? Do ya think they’d get the message if we all showed up on the Mall to protest?

I watched his performance
As an engineer when your designing a solution
Shouldnt you at the very least
A. know what they heck you doings
B. have a clue as to what changes you will make and their effect (or even a partial clue)

this IDIOT didnt have any clue
just like obama
pelozi, reid, dingy harry , murtha kerry the list is endless.

so of course wall street took a dump..
What did you expect a rally?

Just act assured and smile and get then some jobs created somewhere, somehow FAST!… and at least demonstrate a sense of vigor and show of competence even if it is pure bluff.

Half of poker is bluff.

90% of politics is bluff.

We are seeing the world’s worse poker players losing OUR shirts.

He’s lying, and doesn’t want to reveal the true breadth and depth of the multiple trillion fiatsco credit and derivatives collapse

Now, it doesn’t take a pointy-eared rocket scientist to figure that out, but the fact that Mr. Geithner testified today that he “needed time to figure out the true extent of the problem” just cemented the fact that he is being completely dishonest.

Think about it.

He was the NY Fed Head during all the previous bailouts, TARP, TAF, TSLAF,etc. and was in on every single maneuver from the destruction of Bear Stearns to the failure of Fannie and Freddie to the Lehman bankruptcy to the AIG takeover and the currency swaps the Federal Reserve has done with other central banks.

So, there is no way he couldn’t know the extent of the damage to the financial system at this point.

Therefore, look for more lies and obfuscation while this new administration tries to figure out how to deal off trillions and trillions of fiatscos of totally dead, worthless “assets”.

And the numbers have grown exponentially in just the last week or so, with even mainstream economists like Roubini and Rogoff admitting to four-trillion fiatscos in losses.

And these losses are still on the books of the financial gamblers after ten trillion fiatscos have been flung in the U.S. at the problem and an equal amount by other central banks and governments?

Twenty trillion total fiatscos.

And now the mainstream economists are telling us there is another four trillion?

And not one of the failed financial gamblers has disclosed any of their failed “assets”?

Does anybody any more doubt for a minute that this really is “it”?
.

It all boils down to a basic problem: liberals do not understand what wealth is and how it is created.

I emailed my member of Congress (Brad Miller – D) and asked him to explain to me how wealth is created and how the stimulus bill will encourage long-term wealth creation.

I should have asked my 8-year-old, I’d probably get a more coherent answer.

The Only Man For The Job lays an egg on Wall Street

Fivehead speaks, the market weeps.

Jim Rogers Says Geithner Caused Crisis, Must Let Banks Fail, Feb. 11, 2009

“Mr. Geithner’s been bombing for 15 years. Mr. Geithner caused this problem. Mr. Geithner’s been head of the NY Fed for several years; that was the office that was supposed to be supervising Wall Street and the banking system. He caused the problem. Then all last year he came up with TARP, he came up with all these absurd bailouts. Listen, Mr. Geithner has never known what he is doing. He doesn’t know what he’s doing now. And pretty soon everyone’s going to find out, including Mr. Obama.”

The Only Man For The Job lays an egg on Wall Street

When Tim Geithner ran into trouble in his confirmation over unpaid
taxes, Barack Obama and the Democrats insisted that Geithner had to be
confirmed. He was not just the best qualified……

1) As was said, He wants a trillion.5 but can’t tell us how he’ll use it, and

2) He really doesn’t even know how much he needs!

His only specific detail is a dollar figure, but no detail on how that figure came to be,
where it will come from,
where it will go, or
if it will work.

Geithner, like his boss, is flying by the seat of his pants and hoping his audience are sufficiently blinded by the light to not notice.

They noticed…

but chuckie shummer says americans don’t care about those little details.

and why should they?

After all, chuckie and tim are members of the ruling class that hands out the goodies.

what else does Maine produce that I can boycott? Is there anything, besides ditzy Senators?

Maine Agriculture & Industry

I’m thinking:

Food: Lobster, wild Maine blueberries, broccoli, potatoes, maple syrup.

Tourist industry: Big in the summer/fall, hiking, camping, summers camps: lots in Maine (remember The Parent Trap).

I think some current and former Down Easters here have mentioned that Maine is not a rich state and is overregulated.

I hope I have some change left in my pocket when these clowns get through with me.
