Geithner to DeMint: Bailouts may never end, no exit plans

[HollywoodSheen]

geithner needs to fuckin die.

[sUp763]

Is it just me or does this guy look like the bad guy in the old movie "Ghost" who turns out to be the guy behind killing the main character. lol looks like just like his criminal ass.

[irishgeal1]

now why dos geithner remind me of pinocchio.

[chriscr123]

Geithner looks exactly like a giant rat...what a slimy little fuck.

[cleocondor]

I hope a Comet will come and clean all these mess up. We need a RESET folks!!

[chadgresham]

pure evil

[samuelnova]

RATS!

[spectre1929]

there are countries that are starting to grasp that there money is never going to be paid back and that it will be impossible for government to honor there bonds ? when the penny drops along with mountain of other financial problems then look out this thing takes a serious turn for the apocalypse ?

[p0procket]

Senator DeMint: thank you for pressing for the answers. The public is just a big open wallet I guess. Pretty good gig the goverment has going - legalized theft. Well I'll just keep going to work each week so you all will have a little more to steal. It does feel like you at least are trying to look out for us, thanks.

[BCO11b]

@p0procket Good, i like what u said, i very much agree.

[grm246]

I don't understand why someone doesn't just kill these assholes?

[bigollameo]

@grm246

Not that cool to use language about killing public officials on your messages.

Maybe you don't realize it, but even phrasing that as a question can put you in some hot water. Try walking up to a microphone and asking that question 10 times loudly and see if the secret service doesn't come knocking, coming with a permanent-bad-mark-on-your-rec­ord attitude.

I hate Jim DeMint and Bush, but I don't want 'em dead...nor do I ask why someone hasn't already killed 'em,.

Well done, idiot!

[grm246]

Grow at set of balls, you pussy, You're just the sheep they love to control. Too scared to speak, and too cowardly to do anything. Now, go ask your wife is you can sit and take a pee. It's weak minded spineless cowards like you who have ruined the word Patriot! I didn't tell anyone to do anything. I asked a question, Hence, the question mark. (?). It would be quite different if I said to go do it. What are you afraid of? I stand for something, my freedom of speech and my country.

[bigollameo]

@grm246

Yeah right! I think you've done MORE than enough to incriminate yourself. "Why doesn't someone just kill these assholes," is calle "Incitement Speech"... that is NOT PROTECTED SPEECH!

You're the fool, you're the clown, and you're the one that ought to keep their fucking mouth shut if they don't want to rot in a federal penitentary for a few months to a few years.

This is my country, I stand for it, and will stand up to you if you're going to rally people to commit violence against it!

[grm246]

I'll say what I want when I want to whom ever I want about anything I wish.

That's the difference between you and I. I don't allow others to dictate to me what I should do, think, or say.

Have a good evening, you controlled robot.

Baa Baa ..good little sheep.

Don't blame me for your lack of backbone to be free. I have blocked your email response, for I care not to argue with such cowardice to speak the truth. Now go do as your told, sheep.

[C4S3CUT]

The majority of assassins are Leftwingers. The right believes in God, not the State, in most cases they know they will atone for murder, or other sins for that matter

[KhmerD0g]

this is fucked up.

we have the financial terrorists in our country

[zeezrom]

GEITHNER IS A TRAITOR. Geithner says "YOUR" government several times while interrogated.? He is a TRAITOR. He should be tried for TREASON. watch?v=e_I4CYhk6P4 "TIMOTHY TRAITOR GEITHNER" What Government does he REALLY work for?

[LLCoolPass]

he was at bilderberg. look it up

[rednxrule]

gietner is a stupid little pathetic shit stain. he is a criminal and his day of justice will come to him soon. the embezzler better spend some of his stolen money on a plane ticket outta america. but even if he does we will find him and make him be held accountable for his treasonous crimes. he is a worm just like, rham, dodd, reid, pusslousy , fagfrank and the rest of these villians, they will all be held accountable for their corruption and lies

[charleshoskinson]

Ben Bernanke = papa smurf

Timothy Geithner = brainy smurf

Jim Cramer = Smurfette

[JoshuaSethComposer]

Respect to DeMint for voting against TARP. But notice how the video is edited to cut off Geithner's response--"Well I'm not quite sure of permanent, but you're right...." Sure enough, if you look up the actual text of the legislation, Treasury's authority to use TARP expires Dec 31, 2009. Geithner CAN apply for a 1-yr extension, but it's up to Congress to authorize that...

Just like it was up to Congress to pass this monstrosity in the first place.

[john51880]

A 700 billion dollar democrat slush fund they will buy vote and infuence with! Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth. His one term is going to be painful for a long time!

[geeseteeth]

why was this video removed by the user?

[jbryant13]

To save you 1 minute and 25 seconds of your life - TARP is a bottomless pit

[voteDRNO]

If I understand this correctly Geithner is saying the Crimanl organization called the federal reserve can spend money from the general fund?

[30percentplusreturns]

Demint is awsome. I wish this guy was president

[JohnGaltSpeaking1981]

Geitner is no idiot - He is a CROOK just like Hank Paulson.....It's time we get a "free-market" thinking Treasury Secretary. Maybe if Ron Paul doesn't win in 2012 our conservative president will have the brains to either elect him for the position or even better yet - for Fed Reserve Chairman!! One can wish right? : )

[budda10000]

eh RP has no real exp. in such matters. There are plenty of free market experts at the University of Chicago that would be more than happy im sure.

[rednxrule]

get from the university of chicago??? you are joking ? i hope you are. that city is where this corrupt administration honed their evil skills. red

[budda10000]

The city of Chicago yes. Read up on the univ of chicago econ. dept. It is a libertarian think tank if there ever was one. I am sure your familiar w/ Milton Friedman, he headed the dept for a very long time. It is considered the premier free market PHD program in the country. So yea you may find other free market economists here and there but there is a large concentration at that university.

[rockhuddy]

Chicago school economists are largely monetarists. Monetarists are far better than Keynesians, but they are not true free market economists. That designation belongs to the Austrian school, which has been proven right both by history and by current events.

As for corruption, the Chicago political system is notorious for producing politicians who work for their and their friends benefits, at the cost of average citizens.

[budda10000]

chicago, like every department has a mixture of ideologies. Where i go to school it is predominantly keynesian but their are the odd free marketers int he department. You are correct about the current state of chicago department however. I am some what of a moderate free market guy. Economics is not a right/wrong science but varied in opinions with evidence to support many views. If you want yes or no answers in your career be a scientist or mathematician.

[Celticsbball15]

well hopefully the next President abolishes the federal reserve and there will be no need for a Chairman haha. but i would love to see Ron Paul in 2012!

[jdms131991]

They are trying really hard to keep this message under wraps. All I hope is they are getting enough press to keep Sen. DeMint & Rep. Ron Paul alive. People who have opposed a central bank have either died or been wounded (think Kennedy & Andrew Jackson). There's a reason we have the saying "Money is the root of all evil" and that's what we are witnessing today. BE AFRAID -- VERY AFRAID!

[LORDOFWARS8]

Wrong....Be very BOLD, Be VERY VERY BOLD....BOLD to the extent that you become BOLDNESS ITSELF... Fear has never done anything lasting good ... BOLDNESS, COURAGE, DTERMINATION has!

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

Geithner and Bernanke = FAIL.

[jackinla8]

@LiveFreeOrDieNow Geithner+Bernanke=THIEVES!

[30percentplusreturns]

I would vote for demint for president anyday. I hope he runs. If i saw geithner on the street i would shoot him. Little fuckin weasel

[NHMntnHIGH]

Tmmah Timmah Timmah needs to be run out of town and banned from wall street or anything to do with money. Another crook in Obama's posse

[Diverdown41]

Geitner learned that answer from the Federal Reserve... Oh, that's right he was from the NY FED. So, we need to close both of them down.

[ikill4klondikebars]

Geitner is a fucking crook. And how the gov't can take a guy who got nailed for tax evasion and place him in control of the Treasury is beyond stupidity.

[kt8268]

I didn't vote for this crap and neither did my reps! This take over of government that is turning into socialist facism should scare even the liberals if they would just take off their Obama goggles.

[YankeeClippa]

DITTO! This is insanity This guy is an idiot, its scary!

[wenaolong]

BUT WAIT, STOP THE PRESSES: A couple of broads in N. Korea are threatened with doing 12yrs of hard labor for whatever political bullshit they are involved in there. THAT is what we are supposed to pay 30mns-1hr paying attention to with Dan Rather and the Jewish broad from "The View." THAT's what is worth our attention. NOT this... Just a few snippets here and there on C-SPAN or YouTube. IF it was important, the aforesaid assholes would be gabbing about it in earnest, right? RIGHT. 3-Trill

[YankeeClippa]

I feel ya dude.. This guy is not making me feel any better .. I thnk thats why they only wanna do stories about Obama's Dog

[Verlch]

Is there a new type of Bureaucrat that we can just name smirky?

Where are the ones with a spine? And by the way democracies lead to socialism. So beware.

[waluum]

If you want to know where Christ stands on this matter, read his words for yourself: Luke 6:28-31 & John 14:23-24.

Use biblegateway[dot]com if you don't have a Bible to look those passages up with.

[waluum]

I apologize for that last message, that was meant for a different video - too many windows open :P

Do read it, nevertheless, if you feel inclined.

[Danster82]

What does using 700 billion indefinitely mean? it keeps getting refreshed back to 700 billion?

Does it even matter in the end? you have a private corporation the fed and their banking buddies have just stole the entire worth of America you think its a coincidence the bailout is near the exact figure of your GDP?

Theres nothing left to steal, this is a non issue, the only issue left is to arrest the bankers and reform the money system so it is no longer debt based.

[enmaxlineman]

You Americans should be very proud that you have Timothy Geithner to sail your ship in theses unchartered waters. He has a great honest background and a great leader for the rich.

[therealcaptobvious]

This was the whole plan!

Geithner appointed Robert Pickel to "regulate" the derivative market as head of the ISDA. Mind you, Pickel regulated the ISDA as a part of General Council since 1997. That's just as bad as Obama appointing Gary Gensler as the head of CFTC after he previously "regulated" the derivative market.

watch?v=oN52Zp1-2Ug

This is generational theft on behalf of a dead cat bounce in the real estate market.

EPIC FAIL!!

[xaviqaz]

No regulation can prevent boom and burst if we don´t end banking fractional reserve privilege. Swedish financial system collapsed in early 90s, they nationalized it and re-privatized with much tighter regulations, but their two biggest banks are at high risk again because of baltic countries meltdown. They are a strongly Social Democratic nation, not wild capitalists.

[therealcaptobvious]

Can you elaborate, how is ending the fed going to make Obama, Geithner and Bernanke nominate non-corrupt regulators?

[RealPolyester]

The way I'm hearing TARP described, it doesn't sound much like an instrument of the people, by the people, and for the people. It sounds more like an opaque hedge fund... You know... A pool of money that has large capital inflows and outflows and that doesn't have much oversight or regulation. I'm changing my dollars for precious metals, Singaporean dollars, Norwegian Krones, etc. (i.e. money with low or no counterparty risk).-Best

[OneTokeOver]

Congress needs to get a spine and stand up to these guys. They aren't even elected and they are running our Country. Congress is no more than a lap dog. I'm voting against all incumbents from now on.

[MyImago]

The real rulers in Washington are invisible, [and] exercise power from behind the scenes. Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952

[howardbunz]

Without Obama and Geithner, we'd be finished. There is no room for capitalism anymore in this world.

[LawrenciumTradera]

What are you talking about? Do you know what just the war cost + medicare medicaid? And now he want free healthcare?

Republicans destroyed the economy as a whole, Democrats continue on the same road.

[gvissage]

So you must feel that there is no room for FREEDOM and LIBERTY anymore either. Get a clue...I don't want to pay for your bad choices & I don't want you to pay for mine...not that I would make bad choices, but you get the point.

[Justforcookies]

Myself and many others told our reps that the 700B Banker Bailout was a 700B line of revolving credit to be used by the Treasury Department. They all knew this, and DeMint was the only SC rep that voted "Nay". Keep up the good fight Senator.

[iiooioooi]

JIM for president !!!

[Nachum]

Chicago patronage system gone national.

[carthfhuil]

Sen. DeMint, you guys have got to stop "asking" Treasury to follow the law. Congress IS the law. Let Geithner and his boys know it.

[truthforamerica]

Geithner didn't even know how to do his own taxes.

[enmaxlineman]

Timothy is a honest guy that just made a honest mistake.

But he is smart enough to keep the big corperations rich and the American people poor

[Alderon714]

So who designed this?

L. Graham and every House Representative in South Carolina voted YES for bail-out v1.0 that this f-tard says he did not design is using to ruin America.

ONLY DeMint voted NO for bail-out v1.0 (aka TARP I).

[x37green]

Its too early to say when we will stop. So we'll come back to that, hmmm, let's say.... NEVER!

We shouldn't have done it in the first place and now we'll never stop.

[seriesoftubesAK]

Not permanent... we'll just never stop. Nice.

[bittergunowner12]

Spot on Sen DeMint, once of the few Senators that still has principles and integrity.

[cew6251]

So the Obama administration now owns private companies, and it intends to continue owning them indefinitely. I don't think this is what our Founders had in mind. Keep asking the tough questions, Senator! Don't let them get away with what they're doing.
