Senator Jim Bunning Questions Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner

[ToaJoe]

He is an idiot- France's health care, education system etc is much better than Americas thanks to their government spending. This is the kind of lunatic who thinks there should be no taxes at all. Geithner is an idiot too. I feel sorry for the American people, your government is not solving the problem and the Republicans are even worse.

[DAIVIETSOS]

go to JESUSLION2011 to see JESUSLION2011 & LION of JUDAH just Appears in the sky USA WARNING,JIM BUNNING YOU NEED TO SEE JESUS JUST APPEAR....YOU ARE COOL SENATOR

[DAIVIETSOS]

go to JESUSLION2011 to see JESUSLION2011 & LION of JUDAH just Appears in the sky USA WARNING

[jacuboni]

Tim Geithner should see a doctor, he has a constant case of diarrhea of the mouth

[sfludd]

I'm waiting for someone to ask the question "What would happen to the American Financial system if these banks were allowed to fail"... No one has asked this question, nor have they asked for the detail on what the answer may imply. That's where we need to be focused; Because if you have a truly free market economy, Bank Bailouts are never necessary to sustain the financial system since it naturally recovers under said ideology. If you don't understand that, you don't understand the free market.

[jakiner]

Geithner knows exactly what the fuck hes doing. Getting away with murder.

[celicamaro]

This senator is an idiot!

[openedup09]

Geithner seems to be just another Obama puppet.He could probaly have a bright future is he had his own mind.Jim Bunning was knocking down all the bullshit Geithner was throwing...Is Geithner WingsHausers brother?

[2Majesties]

Two gaping elite assholes--hard to know who is worse, a Wallstreet whore or a mentally ill Senator...

[knmleaguecity]

arogant sob

[jim80NES]

let's go Timmy Boy!!!!

[kuza01]

The Federal Reserve has been leaching off the tax-payer for too long...they own our politicians and way of life. Hope people wake up to how powerful they truly are.

[tirmen8er]

FUCK YOU TIM GEITHNER!!!!!!!!!

[marengo08]

tim looks like a goblin lol!

[midgetman433]

gietner is such a fucking dick!!!!

[ToBeFree777]

Tiny Tim is a lying piece of s--t!

[twisted45]

28 trillion to the forign banks go america!

[mcgehee1980]

They need to get rid of Timothy Geithner. Get him out. Him being in his position is way wrong in terms of his past profession.

[57girl]

Listen to Geither after minute 6 ... slosh, slosh ... and that's the way the system is designed by the Congress .... BS! ... that is the way the system is designed by the bankers and their Fed buddies ... which includes the credit card companies. It's time to REALLY CLEAN House and we should abolish the Federal Reserve why we are at it. When the Fed goes, so too does the IRS.

[Giverney13]

Nationalizing banks or healthcare or the GM debacle...seems obvious that someone is trying to take over in some communistic pattern, stripping family owned businesses away and basically thievery of private wealth for no cause...It is dangerous across the board-both parties have been found guilty of not representing the will of the people. It is time to clean the whole thing up. Massive corruption is undermining our country and highlights the treachery at the very high levels of our society.

[missionaryoffaith]

a system is not a way to live, system keep us from our freedoms, get rid of the system and we will gain our freedoms back

[lafleurplumeria]

Bottom line! Geithner is a Bilderberg!!! Obama would never have been elected without the blessing of the Bilderberg Group. Obama, H. Clinton and Geithner attended Bilderberg's last secret meeting. You have to be invited and you have to be a multi-billionaire or a Head of State of some country. Research the Bilderberg Group and you'll find that their intention is to dominate the world...NWO. It is the most frightening group of people ever assembled. We are all going to be slaves to them. GREED!

[MENJAGVETJUINTE]

There's a guy txting on phone behind him, lol.

[MarcusCMarcellus]

Geithner is much more arrogant than Bernanke. He's going to fall harder.

[satyricon451]

geitner is a bureaucrat. bunning is a politician

[yourlogicalfriend]

@damoparman - YEAH! Who wants to waste their time with spelling and punctuation? What about run on sentences? Man, those people sure are stupid.

[damoparman]

i wish there were more senators that are that direct and not let them waste there time by rambeling on and on and thats just what they do

our treasury sec. uses turbo tax and still gets it wrong in his favor HORSE CRAP

HE WANTS TO RAMBLE ON TO AVOID THE QUESTIONS asked by a senator that does not sugar coat anything

stump any polititian by asking them how much there electric bill was last month things like that does not exist to them they have no idea what its like in the real world

[TheJoozie]

turbo tax tim is such a crook. have never seen such fast movement? PASS THE STIMULUS! NOW! NOW! NOW! shovel ready! NOW! and now what....

2/3 not spent. no shovels picked up. just bullshit.

it sucks to stand on a real principal and get bashed for it but the truth is that these people have been pumping us full of cold medicine to relieve symptoms but are extending the sickness.

[Moionfire]

LOL @ when geithner asked if he was for nationalization or not

[4bimmers]

Bunning's questions are so clearly uninformed.  christ almighty.

[wildturkeyonice]

Wait are you crazy? The fact is they are both informed. Geithner is a liar and a thief. He doesn't want the truth to be heard, he doesn't want people to know what they are really up to.

[GunnysGirl71]

America needs more Government officials like you. Thank you for seeing through the Administraion's smoke screens. Please CONTINUE what you're doing and don't let the heat from the LEFT get to you. The fact that they fault you SHOWS you're on the RIGHT PATH. STAY THE COURSE SENATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RHODOAN]

Bunning is an anal aperture...as well as a selfish, self-serving greedy bastard who doesn't care about anyone but himself.

[vizeybaby15]

ALL POLITICIANS ARE LIKE THAT

[indigo11274]

I thought I believed in term limits. But this guy knows he's not getting back into office and is burning every bridge. I use to believe the hype that America is the greatest Democracy in the world...I have lost a lot of pride in my country.

[icebrian2007]

Thank God I don't live in Kentucky. His ass is a goner come next election. Thank you Senator Bunning for representing your country so eloquently today. Keep voting against non-employment benefits and you'll be out of office before the time comes.

[philathea80]

This dude is the man. We need more people like Bunning!

[jkfromcincty]

While Mr. Bunning blocks an extension of benefits for unemployed Americans, he fretted about missing the University of Kentucky basketball game. Sir, in addition to being a discredit to your office, state and country, you have jinxed the UK Wildcats from winning the championship, this year. You are acting like a brat because your fellow Republicans blocked you from running for re-election. As you so elegantly stated, "Tough shit".

[mtwilkins]

This guy is a power wielding, manipulative politician of the worst partisan kind. He is understandably being pushed out by his own party and wants to do some damage as he leaves. Congrats to the people of Kentucky for getting rid of this guy.

[reaperguy]

February 28th unemployment deadline comes and this idiot is the one the blocks it from passing stopping unemployment checks for over one million people. Typical republican

[ZDWmiamicane]

I agree with Bunning's decision to block it. Anyway, why are you surprised? He always votes against most of the spending bills in the Senate. Bunning and Ron Paul (more of a Ron Paul fan) are two of my favorite people in our government. Still, can't believe your surprised.

[Melpheos1er]

even now that he is opposing extension of unemployment benefit ?

[ZDWmiamicane]

Yea, I agree with his political philosophy for the most part. Not as much as Ron Paul's, but a lot, a whole lot.

[wildturkeyonice]

You sir are an example of America's last hope

[beancube2010]

Blocking COBRA is hurting people. It is selfish, not seeing reality outside of the box. Bunning is using wrong attitude seeing current mass laid-off tax payers. His bias is a social stigma. Base on his bias, he'll make govt mass layoff before there are solutions for unemployment.

[GunnysGirl71]

The Federal Unemploment (Social) Program is OUT of MONEY!! The Democrats don't want to use the unused stimulus money to help the very people they say they want to help. The democrats rather borrow money and tax Americans. That isn't right.

The senator is only telling them to use the unused stimulus money. PAY-as-you-go.

[talltom1973]

@GunnysGirl71 where was he when we invaded Iraq? Just saying he did not speak out about that. A billion dollars a month has been spent in Iraq. I wouldn't spend ten dollars there. Let someone else rebuild that shit hole.

[Epica124]

It's not selfish when he is trying to stop people in DC from adding to are debit which you and I and ever other child in the future will be paying for. He has said time and again take the money from the waste bills they have where the money is just sitting there not being used. The Dems keep saying no to that. No they just want another spending bill. TWO THUMBS DOWN FOR A MASS SPENDING BILL.

[PublicServiceSka]

@Queenyinthehouse,

Can you please post any links to negative information which verify your posting about Ron Paul?

He is an 11 term congressman who has steadfastly voted consistently in favor of freedom and liberty for ALL Americans.

If you can prove your accusation, please enlighten us.

[Queenyinthehouse]

Bullshit. Just like they had Bernanke in the "hot seat" and he is STILL in control. They are now putting this out here so we can think that someone is "questioning" someone, but NOTHING ever changes. It's nice how all these people put on a "show" for all of us to see, but it is an "act" like it ALL is. Someone has to be the good guy and someone has to be the bad guy, but they are ALL in cahoots with each other. Trust NO ONE. they're ALL bad.

[ZDWmiamicane]

You're right 100%. However, we do have good people like Ron Paul, Rand Paul, and Senator Bunning fighting for us (real) Americans. Most politicians are owned by special interest but like I said, we've got a few good ones like Paul and Bunning.

[Queenyinthehouse]

Think again Honey. Paul is a free mason and one of THE most diabolical "tricksters" of our time. And the reason he is SO good at what he does is because he has EVERYONE duped into believing he is "for" the people. He is part of the problem and NO ONES "friend". Mention 911 to him and he will RUN as fast as he can, because he KNOWS what's up with that. Do some digging, you'll find out just like I did. ALL those idiots who deceive everyone will soon be found out. Ventura, Jones, Beck, ALL the same

[ZDWmiamicane]

You're wrong about Ron Paul, he's been fighting against this since 1976. I agree with you 90% but not about Ron Paul.

[Queenyinthehouse]

I'm not wrong. I have done all of the research I need that convinces me otherwise. It's okay though, keep following him. People are gonna find out truth. Peace.

[ZDWmiamicane]

Well who's trust worthy? What books do you want me to read?

[Queenyinthehouse]

NO ONE is "trustworthy" This is an "agenda". NO ONE is "for the people". This New World Order is the plan that has been established YEARS ago, and it was signed on May 1st, 1776 by Adam Weisaupth who was a lawyer who demised this plan with the help of the Rothschilds, one of the 13 families involved. Paul is a 33 degree mason and his wife and daughters were all groomed to marry 33 degrees. The Rainbow Girls organization proves it as well as the Eastern Star Lodge that Ms Paul belongs to.

[pigmydmm]

rumble

[ibmforce]

They are "ALL" a bunch of lying bullshit artist . . .

Geithner is purely evil ! ! !

[utraceman]

Its no wonder that obama is losing support by most americans because of all the dumb A***s like geithner he has giving him advise. I hope others will continue to wake up before these progressives destroy our country.

[Sys8dmin]

Geithner is full of crap, but he's to Wall Street what Meyer Lanksi was for the the Maffia

[footballcowboys100]

Jim Bunning's understanding of U.S. economics doesn't appear to surpass that of, say, someone fixing burritos behind the counter at Chipotle. His first question, concerning why Tim Geithner would try to fix global markets before the American market, reveals his ignorance of the fact that the latter relies completely on the former. What a teabagging, populist, ignorant piece of shit.

[WhiskeyJim59]

I vote for Senator Bunning for President. These people have given to Wall St. the equivalent of $60,000 for every man, woman and child in the USA, and we still have 10% unemployment, and we have to pay the money back.

[medini2]

Geithner, you know he is lying when he opens his mouth. The only time he ever comes close to telling to truth is as he is saying "you're absolutely right!" over and over, just keeps on cranking out the bs.

Bunning sees the problem, takes him on, wrestles and then lets him go. It's all like watching a wrestling match, one by one. Just a useless display. Essentially Geithner has power of attorney of our money and unless there is a agreement to revoke it this is all just a big game.

[genusrightwingus]

Sick'em Jim (that's my fellow Kentuckian).

Don't feed us crap, and try to tell us it's CANDY!

[buddy34]

Thank you for this video!!!

[turok4lyfe]

5:19 geithner is such an idiot, and this is who Obama appointed as secretary of the treasury??? This country will be lucky to get out of 4 yeaars with this administration.

[jefmuj]

@turok4lyfe plz were where u the last 8 yrs. g t f ota hr.

[turok4lyfe]

Ok so you're saying that the Bush administration spent too much money. I agree, but how does spending a trillion dollars after a trillion dollars make it any better. Oh yeah why is the senate and congress asking Getihner to step down? Oh because like Obama, he doesn't know what he's doing.

[jefmuj]

neither did bush knew what he started n nobody called 4 his head.but hey my hat off to u tho obama spent way too much to nourish the corrupt banks n we tax payers got played.

[turok4lyfe]

Umm well you must not have heard about TARP then haven't you. Its the haly a trillion dollars that Geithner set aside to buy up "toxic assets," well everyone knows where that money went, to foreign banks. So yeah he did and whats your point? Other than agreeing with me.

[cartmanfan0316]

END THE FED!

[Qboy316]

geithner is secretary of the treasury, not the fed. great try though.

[enmity666]

Geithner was the president of the Federal Reserve bank of New York you fucking idiot.

[Qboy316]

WAS, the president of the NY fed. now, he's not... tell me something you disagree with that Geithner said in this video.

[cartmanfan0316]

I'm more than aware of that.

[thotkrime]

They should just re-enact Glass-Steagal.

[cartmanfan0316]

Geithner & Bernanke already stated that they're both against glass-steagal.

[thotkrime]

Haha thumbs up to Jim Burning for breakin timmy's balls.

[shabaash]

Geithner is the problem. Geithner and his Goldman Sachs buddies. Actually the entire federal government is now the problem. It is sucking the lifeblood out of the country. To save the country we need to have another constitutional convention. The present system is defunct and destructive.

[ballajd]

I really think Sec. Geithner and FED Chair Ben Bernake are trying to inflate the US dollar. They feel it's acceptable to print money to solve problems.

[soicuw]

Rand Paul for Senate 2010!!

[AutOmatICa7334]

Tim Geithner is actually one of the Goblins from Gringotts...heh seriously though...get rid of the privately owned central bank called the 'Federal Reserve Bank' and we'll be one step closer to solving these problems.

[soicuw]

Audit the Fed!

[Lyndehouse]

Jim Bunning seems to be a violent version of Ron Paul. Why doesn't he run for president?

[trimmtrabb]

probably because there are huge questions about his health and fitness for office (which is presumably why he's not seeking a third term). that and he'd have even less of a chance of winning than paul.

[futtocked]

the end is awesome

[GoLuckyOops]

Transparency? He may preach transparency. But he is going to do everything he can to expand the role of the secretive FED.

Tim Geithner can't pay his own personal taxes. He's so funny isn't he.

Please help to support the Federal Reserve Transparency Act. Our congressmen have the right and responsibility to audit the FED.

[Qboy316]

u seriously want our corrupt, money controlled congressmen to take gain more control? seriously?

[JuzzChiln]

TREASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ngonea]

The treason happened in 1791, check out

The US is a Corporation not a country (yt)

[sweetelesue]

Supposedly, Geithner is a member of the Bilderberg group:

watch?v=JbC_IUvbKCw&NR=1

[johnnyharpe]

Geithner keeps laughing as though he is winning the argument. He doesn't know what he is doing. This entire administration doesn't know what it's doing, they are a joke.

[jizzmonger]

Bunning is one of the deregulators who caused this mess.

Piece of shit

[PresidentRich]

Geithner and Summers deregulated the banks by removing Glass-Steagall.

Do your research; there is good and bad regulation.

[jizzmonger]

All regulation concerning banks is good regulation

[jizzmonger]

How do you figure?

[soicuw]

How about loosening the knot on business and DE-regulating markets??

[jizzmonger]

How about stuffing your face in a toilet bowl and repeatedly hitting "flush"?

[poopymania]

bunning should beat the shit outta geithner

[BIGDANRD]

GO JIM BUNNING!

[TrueLeadership]

Geithner handled this as well as he's handling the financial crisis. He engages effectively on a wider strategy and puts out fires as they come. Bunning is at a disadvantage coming out angry, and he fails to embarrass the Secretary, which is how anger is best used in politics; to shake the opponent to change his position. Bunning does not offer a persuasive counter argument, just lists grievences. He disagrees. Senator Bunning, "Work together" is our best option for America.

[nikkiepping]

Tim Geithner is apart of the Elite one world order plan. He's apart of the USA problem and people like him.

[PresidentRich]

Geithner will be taking orders at the Bilderberg meeting this week.

He needs to be stopped before he destroys us.

[lavis88]

Geithner sounds like he's on a interview, spewing out so much bullshit!

[lavis88]

Timmy the snake, answer the goddamn questions!

[Vitacore]

I long for the day the Federal Reserve is abolished.

[RonnieJamesreamer]

Geithner needs to step down!

[carthfhuil]

Bunning comes in high and TIGHT! Nice work Senator. You make the people of KY proud and the people of America thank you.

[gausert123]

Geithner is digging his own grave! He is going down!

[ryan4261984]

Is Senator Bunning the only one who gets it? Geithner is a complete moron... Geithner should do the bright thing and resign or the administration should admit they made another mistake and dismiss him...

Give'em hell Jim!!

[AGreaterAmerica]

Geithner is right in this exchange and Bunning is wrong.

Bunning seems to lack the imagination or the will to understand the scope of financial problems that 10 years of AIG activities have caused.

Geithner did not cause these problems.

These problems were caused by a longterm failure of the US congress and president to provide oversight of these financial institutions.

Senator. Bunning could have helped provide that oversight, but didn't.

Bunning is the one who should be grilled.

[AGreaterAmerica]

Senator Bunning lacks the imagination to find solutions to our problems.

[daniel131131]

I'll be surprised if he makes it through; he is inexperienced and incompetent. People of Kentucky, be proud you have a senator who will ask the tough questions and get answers.

And by the way, the Dems took control of The House of Representatives in 2006 and had the majority in The Senate with the two independents aligning themselves with the Democrats. At some point, you have to man up and accept responsibility; the blame bush routine has expired like a gallon of milk and now reeks of lies.

[benhateschildren]

Hard to believe an idiot like that gets elected to the Senate. Sounds like a 6th grade model UN delegate.

[perusboy]

tim is the man, will the republicans give him a chance? hes only been there 5 weeks and he is supposed to fix 8 years of republican mistakes? cmon people lets give the guy a frigging break!!! if you repubs knew all the answers then how come the economy cratered under your watch? hypocrites!!!
