  • the fed really means the jew, doesnt it ? or are we not supposed to say the j word or one might get labbelled with the AS word, oh well, I dont give a shit, cause in under just two more years , 22 months the end of the jewish zionist regime will fall, and ffnn hard, Yahoo

  • The man has worked for the fed. Go figure. The guy is a tool.

  • Never had a real job but he along with President Obama - another person without "real job" experience - believe they know best how to reshape the U.S. Economy and financial system so that it will create and protect "real jobs." Not going to happen.

  • Geithner is a typical Democrat. He supports higher taxes, yet he doesn't pay his own taxes.

  • I researched what Geithner did it terms of not paying social security taxes nor medicare when he worked for the IMF for 4 years and his excuses for it. I happen to have worked abroad for the IMF too. I SUCK at taxes but can tell you one thing 100%. EVERY SINGLE American working at the IMF knows EXACTLY that they have to pay social security taxes. EVERY single person is told this numerous times and everyone talks about it in the normal talks pple have about when and how to file tax abroad (contd)

  • (part II)....EVERYONE at the IMF has heard that some pple cheat on this and horror stories of being caught. Why do they cheat? Because they are living abroad and hope the IRS won't notice or bother to check. So in sum I can attest that the chances that Geithner made this mistake honestly is precisely zero! This was premeditated intentional tax fraud he carried out for 4 years (2001-2004). PS I voted for Obama this is not a political thing.

  • Geithner is and evil little elf. He even looks like one with his weird ears and pointy nose. Its him and the men on wall street that run this country and its hard working Americans that give them the money to bribe our government officials with.

  • Does this news show ever do any real reporting or find their own material? Their only source of material I've seen is commenting on Bill O'Reilly or Fox news. It's annoying when I'm trying to watch Fox news on you tube and I accidently click on these guys.

  • ur not fooling everyone. we all can see ur tryin to start a dumb argument. THEY NEVER MENTION BILL O"REILLY OR FOX NEWS!

  • in this video that is...

  • lol i was gonna say..uhh what? in caps even..lol

  • i wouldnt trust this little fuckin weasel

  • You think you're in deep debt, well, the UK's external debt isn't that far behind and their population is just 61,113,205 (CIA World Factbook). You can easily solve your financial problems if you raise your interest rates, lend money to only credible/accountable people, and the government should pay for what it can only afford (same goes for the American consumers). Three issues must be solved by this current government, the dependency on foreign oil, Medicare and wasteful military spending.

  • FEDERAL RESERVE=CAUSE

    Duh!

  • But... But... But...

    Obama needs the Federal Reserve for the bail outs and this suspicious health care system. Thats why he hired Geithner (former prez on NY FED).

    Write your state reps.

    Support HR 1207 !

  • Yes, I'm supporting HR 1207, I've written my congressman and senators. I've also called Senators form other states.

    Support HR1207!

  • Here here brother. A true patriot.

  • OF COOOOOOOOURSE

  • Read: Her name is Ms. Ann (on YOUTUBE) By Rev. Manning. This guy speaks the truth. Also, Howard Stern interviews him in 4 parts on YOUTUBE. This guy is great. obama is an illegal, muslim porch monkey, who will soon be deported! I think Tim and barney frank would hit it off, maybe have lunch together.

  • Timothy Geithner looks like a kiddy fiddler

  • He looks like a a Nerd.

  • You don't know what your talking about, and, neither do these The Young Turks blokes.

  • Australia is the Illuminati playground

  • Fuck Geithner and Obama. Those greedy ass licking , mother fucking tax hungry son of a bitches. May they die in hell a horrible fucking death. How much money do you want you fucking ass holes. You already have half my fucking income. You cock sucking bastards. Go to hell. Also that retard Biden. Fuck you. How about being a patriot and giving up your fucking income, you miserable fagot. Live like we do to understand the pain of excess tax you sorry bastard. Fuck all you Demo Fagot queer fucks

  • haha very well said.

  • You do realise, by 2017, China will own 100% GDP of USA. Goodluck with that mate.

  • Ain't just the Democrats buddy, it's 90% of the politicians in DC. Every president since nixon has been a taxing corporate ass licker (and especially Reagan). But I'm sure you'll just play into the partition bullshit like most of the country and realize it's just two different flavors of coolaid.

  • @barkingdogs3 Never met a gay Republican, I guess... But apart from your crude language, I think I agree with your general sentiment.

  • @barkingdogs3 I agree with you regarding these ass wipes but seriously how did you feel about the previous ass wipes, G.W. Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Greenspan, etc.,?

    .

    Hope you have the right answer and not the douche bag bi partisan answer.

  • haha, I love this guy - he appears to speak from the heart. Makes a lot of sense too, and delivers the points in a very humorous way. Propps!

  • Grand Jury investigation Wall street Pirates looted Taxpayers 12.3 Trillion Dollars If you are a Democrat you never pay your Taxes See Video > Obama Deception 1/12

  • Actually its your comment thats incredibly moronic dtothediesel.that is exactly what the 2nd amend. is for and is exactly how the colonists defeated the brits who vastly out gunned them.Futhermore if a revloution happened today there would be no way an army of less than 1 mill. could control a revolt of 300 mill. armed civilians, even if all they had were handguns.There are to many people and to much territory to cover, just like durning the Revolution.Read your history and use YOUR brain.

  • President Obama, we need better, we deserve better. Replace Geithner and Summers.

  • Timid Tim, the Bankers man is in bed with Goldman Sachs.

    And they are skimming a very nice fleece.

  • And a couple more things, with my last comment, I forgot to note look at his body language and how he carries himself when he is under question. He is a nervous wreck. Also, I think characters like Geithner really dont care about what the general public thinks because they are ignorant. The gen. pub. is ignorant. One way I prove that is by looking to the right and seeing that there were 10 times the views on the Chris Brown video as compared to this one. If the people dont care then who should?

  • Look at Geithners body language any time you see him on TV. Theres your answer right there. He is not working for You or Me.

  • Tim Geithner is in fact half Vulcan.Therefore he is logical.

  • "Can We Trust Tim Geithner?"

    NO!

    Well, i suppose you can trust him to be an idiotic liar.

  • Just found these videos while just doing some political search's and I must say (to me, at age fourteen) this guy seems like an idiot and uneducated. Did he get out his dictionary for the word disingenuous? Some of his guests seem the same way. As far as our current government goes, we are getting deeper and deeper into a highly centralized government of singular authority where rights will be violated. God bless America!

  • "Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem."

  • Liberal bias exists within media channels CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek, & the NY Times. The study cited most for liberal media bias in journalism is The Media Elite. They surveyed journalists at national media outlets such as The NY Times, Washington Post, & broadcast networks. The survey found most journalists were Dems who were well to the left of the general public. ABC News director Mark Halperin says most journalists hold liberal political views, these views affect there reporting.

  • Stylistically what you do It's like complaining about the weather. On the substance; it is the conservative administrations that are the ones proven to artificially embed the so called "pundits" into the mass media in order to create the much needed distortion of public's understanding of important issues at stake. So spare us the "(R)ighteous" bs. Please.

  • Is the US Government being honest & forthright? Dems are in complete control, mistrust, corruption are everywhere. The government is making rules then breaking them them rewriting them (all in a weeks time)and saying, It's okay NOW we got it right. Every branch of the US Government is corrupt and failing, We all are failing as Americans if we support this preposterous abominable act of war on all. We The People are getting the gov. we deserve if we don't demand an end to corruption.

  • I do agree with you hellotommy, although i would place the inefficiency at the top of the list of reasons for the government's failure. It is highly unproductive to be talking about the Serious Corruption in the country where big money political lobbying is still perfectly legal? Wouldn't you agree?

  • When in the world is someone in Washington going to stop this insanity? This whole adminstration has lost touch with realty, they must all be nuts. I still haven't gotten my Hopenchange Prize in the mail... do you have a number I could call?

  • There is alot of things the "Obama" supporters didn't know, or chose not to reearch out! They saw a new face, and good speaker, and clean cut. I saw a politician. They are all crooks. Some just mor than others, so you have to do your homework on them. So if you voted for him, you havent even begun to feel bad for doing so. This is just getting started. We all will suffer for years to come.

  • Cenk graduated from Wharton... you may not agree with his view, but he makes a logical argument. Judging by your English, you really ain't that smart. You don't run for Secretary of Treasury, you get appointed.

    He is a talk show host, he is suppose to criticize. Do you not understand that the a critical media is imperative in a functioning democracy? The guy is doing a pretty good job, since he is an unwavering diehard progressive, and Obama is about as progressive as they come.

  • "Obama is about as progressive as they come. "

    No... "you really ain't that smart."

    If you think Obama is "progressive" then you need to wake up. He's leaving at least 50,000 troops in Iraq no matter what. He's escalating war in Afghanistan. His AG wants to ban all semi-autos. His Treas. Sec. is a Bildergerg/Trilateral Commission stoog who orchestrated the derivatives market at Goldman Sachs. He's advised by Kissinger and Greenspan, he wants to carbon tax you...

    That's "progressive"?

  • Carbon tax, and banning semi-automatic weapons ARE progressive policies... I dunno where you come from, but you are proving that Obama is progressive instead of not. Per the matter of Iraq, now how are they going to pull out ALL troops instantly? Iraq's biggest problem in nation building, how could they pull out now, when Iraq domestic policy is just picking up? Tim Getihner is a bad appointment period. I do not doubt that.

  • Carbon taxing and gun banning, progressive or not, are unconstitutional. The federal government has no rights to put a mandate on a state like that. Every idiot knows that every modern pistol in this country is most likely a semi-automatic... it's an obvious power grab.

    How are you going to defend a conflict that's killed over a million Iraqi's and over 5,000 American troops? Let alone it being a conflict Bush initiated. That's just twisted...

  • Precisely. Bush initiated the Iraq war, which had two biggest failure: lack of legitimacy and incredibily bad post war planning. If all troops are pulled out now, then Iraq would descend back to chaos. Bush started this mess that Obama would have to rectify. And the only responsible thing to do is for a slow and gradual withdrawal. There is of course the worry of a Shiite leadership emerging, its eventual ties with Iran and so on. It would be detrimental to ME security if US withdraw str8 away

  • An concerning carbon taxing and banning automatic weapons... well you shud first determine the intentions behind those two articles in the Bill of Rights. The right to bare arms would need to be redefined after 219 yrs. The forefathers never foresaw nuclear weaponary, machine guns and so on, art 2. was a right to protect one's property and well being with a firearm, and anyone knows that you dun need a semi-automatic weapon to acheive that end.

  • The second amendment is to protect against a tyrannical government,regardless of the weaponry available. Thats the whole reason the USA came about . To be free from  tyranny. Thats why we fought the Revolutionary War . Why is it that anti gun people are pro government people,why do people like to be tax up the wazzoo and to be told what to do by idiot bureaucrats ?? I really dont get it.

  • No. This is an incredibly moronic statement. How would a handgun protect you from an army?  Hell, even a shotgun wouldn't do much. The fact is that if the military has the guns and is not on your side, guns don't matter. Use your brain.

  • dtothediesel

    You must be French. You sad spineless little tool.

  • Hmmmm, give Obama more time? Well we would have to get about 100 more of those big money printers at the rate he is spending money. China is already talking about stopping the loans to America because they know it is not able to be paid back to them. Sorry, but this BS will not stop until 2012 when Obama is booted out of the Poor, I mean White House.

  • Holy crap, you are the epitome of all that is retarded in this world. NO, YOU DO NOT NEED TO PERFORM THE JOB OF THE ONE YOU CRITICIZE. IT IS HIS JOB TO CRITICIZE. You should pull that dick thats rammed up into your intestine and take a hard look. If action is so difficult, Tim should get the fuck out, because he can't seem to put out.

    God DAMNIT you are stupid.

  • Timothy Giethner is a Bilderberger and Trilateral Commission member. His agenda is to do the exact opposite of what this country needs...

    He's a hardcore vicious criminal... Duh...

  • Dont Forget about Obama!! HE APPROVED AND SIGNED THE BILL ALLOWING AIG TO GET THE BONUSES. OBAMA IS UNQUALIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • TYT... what? Are your lips actually disengaging from Obama's ass?

  • 165 million is nothing when you look at the 40 billion dollars of tax payer money that AIG sent overseas

  • OMG?! Your disagreeing with Obama?!! Oh no! Now he is not going to let you suck his cock.

  • No, we are not stupid!!!

    Just the people that voted for Obama are the stupid ones!!

  • Welcome, taxpayers, to the Kabuki Theater of AIG Outrage - where DC's Best Performance of Hypocritical Indignation is showing. Spare me President Obama's finger-wag. He's "outraged?" Meh. Chris Dodd, the corporate crony who is the largest recipient of AIG donations, Obama is the 4th. If we hadn't bailed out AIG = no bonuses for greedy execs.

    Bailout-a-palooza is not a good for all you naive voters that voted for hope & change without knowing what it meant. It's not American Idol, vote smart.

  • Tell it like it is!!!! I loved that last part about American Idol!!

  • Considering the Treasury MADE banks take money so that no one was singled out, they shouldn't be able to tell them how to run their business.

    These bonuses are being paid on a contractual basis. Do you want to completely do away with the foundation of this country and just disregard the Magna Carta and rule of law?

    What you are suggesting will destroy what little faith people still have in the US

  • "can we trust tim geithner?" yes we can.

  • Only if you are a complete moron. And now we see how Stupid he is. AIG, Tim Geithner, Obama, Frank, Pelosi, All crooks!!

  • scum

  • Both the government and the bankers are trying to enrich themselves. . . all that is happening right now is that the banks and the government are trying to negotiate what they could do so as to satisfy the government`s and the bankers` interests - neither of them gives a rats ass about what the voter thinks at this point.

    No matter what happens, tax paying Americans have already been screwed in the ass and will be told to be happy with the crumbs off the Obama`s and J.P.Morgan`s table.

  • Tim Geithner looks like the snow miser from the year without a Santa Claus. Could you trust the Snow Miser!!!!

  • These politicians are awful

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country. She is using the Air Force as her "personal airline."

    Here's an idea!

    China February Auto Sales Rise 25% After Tax Cuts The tally in the first two months rose 2.7 percent.

    All you have to do is cut taxes give a Stimulus check, we'd be out of this mess. All the spending is slowing the economy.

    ObAAAma

  • omnibus appropriations bill - $410 billion (the bill contains 7,991 pet projects totaling $5.5 billion,)

    Nearly $800 billion stimulus bill

    A $3.55-trillion budget outline for fiscal year 2010

    And we are just getting started.

    The Dem party is owned and operated by Union thugs, Global communist, Sexual Degenerates like Barny Frank, Criminals.

  • Obamas first-year legislative agenda, we know what kind of a war he intends to wage.

    It is no wonder that markets are imploding around us. Obama is giving us the War on Business.

    Imagine that some hypothetical enemy state spent years preparing a Manchurian Candidate to destroy the U.S. economy once elected. What policies might that leader pursue? discourage private capital from entering the financial sector, repeatedly promise a brilliant rescue plan, but never actually have one...

  • So many "smart" people don't see it, never mind the mindless minions. It started under FDR; Who put private bank insurance out of business & corrupted corporations with the hidden budget of tax deductions. The ignorant working class people that are voting Democrat today due to their Parents support of the them

    Or their parasitic laziness, or their involvement with corruption.

    The Dem party is owned and operated by Union thugs, Global communist, Sexual Degenerates like Barny Frank, Criminals.

  • You know most of us have university educations, as well?

  • Indoctrination?

  • Really? Most universities, a least mine, promotes learning frameworks based on critical thinking.

    So I'd say we're taught to think for ourselves; isn't it convenient that you can discredit every educated person's opinion, simply by claiming that they're indoctrinated by some "left-wing conspiracy?"

    Next you're going to tell us that Obama is a socialist; you know, with his 3% tax hike on those who make more that 200k, right?

  • Whiney,

    Do you have something against people that make over 250k? Why do they owe Uncle Sam 50% of their income? they earned it.

    You can go align yourself politically with Baney Frank and the likes. I'll be here loffing at ya'.

  • Yeah this tinkled on economics works really well for the banksters , the well connnected and the well off. The rest of us are getting EFF'd.

  • he said it all when he asked "who's holding all the chips here?"

  • Stocks fall as Obama fails to deliver details

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks fell on Wednesday as President Obama's first address to Congress shed little new light on how he plans to stabilize the economy and shore up banks. Sen. Robert Byrd has accused Obama of power grab politics.

    Obama has Marxist Collectivist leanings in his philosophy of governing. It is not a stretch to see this as an intentional destruction of Capitolism to a more gov. controlled Socialist system.

    losing freedom

  • The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE institution that makes money off deficit spending. Therefore the goals of The Federal Reserve are directly antithetical to the health of America's economy. Many misinterpret the situation as The Federal Reserve and the American government being synonymous. They're not. The current financial policy is a disaster for the American government and a bonanza for The Federal Reserve. The policy is thus strictly for the benefit of The Federal Reserve at OUR expense.

  • We are witnessing the destruction of our democracy through the failure of our monetary policy. And now we are learning, our monetary policy controls our country. Our monetary system of central banking has and is in the process of collapsing, and we are giving into corporatism and socialism to solve it. Wake up, please!

  • Comment removed

  • The first job for Tim Geithner was at Kissinger & Assoc, where he worked from 1985 to 1988. Kissinger is the former Secy State under Nixon.

    Focus on Geithners income tax provided a distraction from focus on his duties in recent years at the NY Fed.

    In 03, Geithner became President of the NYFed responsible for open market operations, designed to implement monetary and exchange rate policy.

    How anybody could be better placed than Geithner to see how the USEconomy was heading towards a crisis

  • Tim Geithner is a SYSTEM MAN, he is of the system, for the system, and against the average Joe.

  • what do know about anything u worthless

    pig

  • Tim Geithner worked as a lobbyist for Morgan Stanley. I once hoped for real change in America, but now I see that dream is dead.

  • Conservative ideology

    Reduce the growth of government spending, reduce marginal tax rates on income from labor and capital, reduce government regulation of the economy, control the money supply to reduce inflation. Cut back on domestic spending while lowering taxes, that is what it's about for me.

    Lower taxes and a smaller government.

  • Too bad that's not what it's about for the RNC.

  • someday maybe they'll wake up to reality.

  • Well, traditional conservative perhaps, but every republican president we've had in the past few decades has grown the national deficit and the "fiscally irresponsible" democrats have done the opposite. Google it, there's several clear, color-coded & labeled graphs in the image search that show the rather large distinction.

    You say that those republicans aren't 'real' but rather 'neo' conservatives? I'm with you, but the dems've been better with the budget recently, and the GOP's not delivering

  • Strict fiscal conservatism. Reagan sparked record economic growth & produced one of the lowest unemployment rates in U.S. history, also expanded the Medicare program helping elderly & disabled against catastrophic health costs. Take that into consideration when looking at the deficit. The deficit was exacerbated by foreign trade imbalances. Keynesian economics need be applied globally to fix this problem even today. Obamas is a wishlist of big gov ideals by dummies not much stim. Good critique

  • fiscal conservatism??? like George Bush???? Please you are a FOOL. You have been tricked into thinking Reagan "sparked economic growth". Why do the rich keep getting richer? It is because trickle down economics DO NOT WORK. It was designed for the rich to get richer ALL ALONG... There is no way you actually believe in this bs.

  • Obama's economic policy is following not what has been proven to work but liberal ideology. In 1980, amid a seriously dysfunctional economy, Reagan campaigned for president on an economic recovery program with 4 specific components. reduce the growth of government spending, reduce marginal tax rates on income from labor and capital, reduce government regulation of the economy, control the money supply to reduce inflation. Turned around in just two years an economy far worse than today's.

  • Geithner was previously the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

    Geithner's position includes a large role in directing the nation's economic response to the financial crisis which began in 2007.

    President Obama is stealing your money and giving it to his rich Corporate lobbyists.

  • LOL this guy is a joke.

    Let the banks go under, then all the banks that behaved responsibly will have their day in the sun.

  • Obama supporters are sheep...Meet the new boss same as the old boss

  • The Young Turds !

  • Geither is a tax cheap what to you expect. I still think Paulson and Bernacke should have there assets liquized and put in public housing. Due the failed policies they have inacted.

  • Fiction...

    America dropped the A-Bomb on Japan.

    Japan agrees to surrender but hands America a list of demands.

    America agrees on every single ridiculous demands Japan made.

    Question: Does this make sense ? NO ! Is it happening now ? YES !

  • Congressional Democrats & the Obama will now take ownership of the spending programs soon to be signed into law. There is money in the bill for condoms, livestock insurance, refurbishing the National Mall, & other outlandish things revealed that it is a massive spending spree, not an economic stimulus. Obama edged toward a "my way or the highway" attitude. CBS News reveals a 12-point drop in support of the bill over the past month. Pew Research & Rasmussen have turned in similar numbers.

  • The question is what can we trust Tim Geithner to do? Can we trust the man who would choose a slime-dog like Tim Geithner?

  • cenk says somethin important early in the vid: cant let the faith in the credit system go under. but thats the problem, our credit system is based on faith. we need to go back to the gold standard. if you know about monetary cycles, you know that fiat currency leads to economic collapse. fiat currency is only beneficial for those who have too much money and want more, but the more they have, the less you do and the more expansive things get. gold forces ppl to be wise with their spending.

  • TYT

    YOU SOUND LIKE A LITTLE KID.

    Your argument " Wall Street Bad, Greed Bad " is the "CAUSE".

    Your argument has no SUBSTANCE.

    Moral Hazard is caused by pyramiding debt by the winner THE FEDERAL RESERVE.

    TYT and Barny Frank have tow things in common.

    #1. REGULATION FOR EVERYONE BUT THE CULPRIT: The Federal Reserve

    #2. See no problem with the American People gating bent over and shafted.

    Buffoonery at the highest level, I hope you wake up.

  • TYT, NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Long Answer,

    If YOU spent a million Dollars a day isnce the birth of Christ you would still not sum up the money being created!

    $1 MILLION A DAY SINCE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST!

    ARRRRRGGHHHHHHHHH!

  • Geitners a damn crook too! The O Man is staying clean for now but he better tread carefully cause theres shit all around him

  • And now I heard in a recent article that the pay caps (even for those top executives) has fallen through...so essentially nobody is getting punished AT ALL, even in a symbolic fashion, for throwing our economy into a tailspin. I'm straining to understand where Obama's Secretary is coming from: he's suppose to represent the good of the people, not Wall Street

  • Obama: "Pass this stimulus, and Caterpillar will re-hire some jobs"

    Catepillar CEO: "Umm, actually, we are going to lay off more people, regardless."

    Does that make Barack a LIAR? Did he just MAKE THIS UP?

    With the Commerce Secretary, withdrawing his nomination, and Obama caught in this 'lie', just watch the DOW tomorrow.

    My guess: It's gonna PLUMMET 200-400 pts...

    Yup, we're fuxxord... but still..

    OBAMA - MY LIFE FOR YOU!

  • OBAMA BURNED: GREGG WITHDRAWS AFTER POLICIES TOO MUCH TO STOMACH

    His own staff (U.S. Commerce Secretary this time) are jumping boat because Obama's policies are making them sick.

    Bwahahahah! This is juicy! Let's hear Cenk report on THIS!

    /not

  • CAREFUL! any criticism of Obama is liable to INTENSE flaming by the herds. especially on this channel

  • Gregg was a Republican. Fuck being Bi-Partisan... time to let all the Republicans go. Let em' all go.

    Democrats are in office now and it's time to do things OUR way. 8 years of doing it their way got us into this mess.

  • Yes, the dems will do it their way now:

    "Dem Senator Predicts: None of His Colleagues 'Will Have Chance' to Read It..."

    yup... sounds like a great plan for this country. They are passing the Banker Bailout Bill, written by, for, and of the bankers.

    Good luck with that....

  • update:

    "Dems Delay and Reformat E-Version of Bill So It Cannot Be Searched On Internet By Voters..."

    I love Obama's new OPEN and Transparent government.

    Don't you!

    MY LIFE FOR YOU OBAMA!

  • What happen to putting bills online 48 hrs for everyone to see before voting on it. LIE. Obama = the 70s. Jimmy Carter II. The dems are fasists. limiting freedoms, taking money from one class and giving it to another (class warfare) an Obama Chicago thug specialty, redistribution of wealth is a Maxist philosophy that stems from Obamas Black Liberation Theology teachings. Dumbing down sheeple and keeping them from thinking outside the partisan box. Blaming Bush will only last so long.

  • I lived through the first Carter Admin.. this is going to be much worse..

  • The $787 billion spending package is causing worldwide damage to the US and the recent tension between China & the U.S.

    The government's deficit is hemorrhaging at a pace which threatens the viability of the financial system. A deficit in excess of $4 trillion, which can not be covered by any form of taxation. Shy of the gov. severely slashing social welfare programs, federal deficits of this magnitude are beyond any hope of containment, government or otherwise.

    The government is bankrupt

  • preach on brotha!

    the central banking system is POISON.

    mainly because the central banks have the audacity to infer it is THEIR duty to control a nation's currency. THAT'S f'in BS. We in America have brought down and fought against the central banks many times in our history, unfortunately we lost the war versus the last one that was setup...in 1913. America was the greatest destination for financial freedom because of it having no central bank controlling currency - US now enslaved by debt

  • KEIKNER IS PART OF ZOG and it didn't matter what kind of crimes he committed in the past...he's IN LIKE SIN!

  • In Geithner I Trust.

  • Can We Trust Tim Geithner? No!

    Can We Trust Barack Obama?

    MY LIFE FOR YOU OBAMA!!!

  • You don't even live here! Stay on the porch

  • Geithner is BS Obama is BS

    This stimulus is BS

    We don't need more borrowing and spending to help the economy

    That's what got us into this mess

    Keynesian economics always fails

    We need to drastically cut federal spending & cut taxes (not tax rebate BS)

    Get rid of the unconstitutional income tax

    Short of that...revolt and take your country back

    We put up with less from the British before we revolted

    The YoungTurks are cool btw

  • No,we can't trust him...he's shown himself to be more concerned w/ Wall Street than Main Street.

    Yes, you can assist Wall St in helping Main St, but Geithner is proposing some stuff that just helps Wall St.

    Barack needs to kick him to the curb!

  • yeah but wall street will directly benefit main street :D

  • It's time for a revolution. You start by civil disobedience. Stop paying income taxes (if that's in your control) and property taxes. They cannot come after 50 million people. We, the people, have become sheep to be raised and fleeced by the big companies, bankers, internet companies, telephone, cellphone, health insurance, magazine subscriptions, car dealers, mail-in rebates, bogus job adverts, money-back guarantees, cable companies..... They are all a bunch of lying, scamming crooks.

  • hey you know what would of been better then having a debate on how to treat the banks? just not have given money to the banks simple, if this much shit was going happen no one should of agreed to it, and now we want to pass another 'stimulas' bill.

  • His father, Peter Geithner, is a former top official of the Ford Foundation who knew Obamas mother when she was working on microfinance in Indonesia.

    DO THE MATH....

  • What the administration is trying to do is save the biggest bankers jobs and the banks owners. If the administration did the obvious thing—what was done in the savings and loan crisis—and went through the banks books, wrote down the bad loans, declared the banks insolvent, and took them over, then the rich and powerful bankers and campaign contributors would be out of their jobs and out money. They would be replaced by new management, the books straightened out, and the banks then sold off.

  • bravo. this whole thing is unreal. they are just shoving our faces in it and they dont care. they are relying on the apathy and fear of the american people to not do shit about this and we probably wont. rollover once more people. just sucky.

  • I like that you brought up INSIDE JOB. Care to discuss further?

  • you got 10,000 in the bank thats your problem, you got 10,000,000 in the bank it's the banks problem.

  • Move along Goldman Sachs and take Geithner with you!

  • Geithner better realize he is not working in the Bush White House but rather our White House.

  • Yeah your white house...

  • Is anyone really trustworthy?

  • If you must ask the question: "Can We Trust Tim Geithner?"

    Then you must also ask the question: "Can We Trust Barack Obama?"

    Being that they are directly associated, since BO picked TG as treasury secretary,

    Everybody said that BO was surrounding himself with great minds and superb talent.

    You must then also ask the question: "Can We Trust Barack Obama's decision making?"

    I don't expect Cenk to ask any of these *tough* questions, only point out the obvious ones.

  • He picked him because he wanted to be impartial. He pulled people from both sides of the argument, people who agreed with him and disagreed with him.. not just a bunch of 'yes' people.

    I understand your concern about accountability because it calls to Obama's decision-making skills, but you need to look at this in context. We don't know all the details. Geithner could have been Obama the wrong idea about him.. this DOES happen in politics aaall the bloody time right?

  • here..i gotta better question. Can we expect Obama to be perfect? The answer is a no brainer...but the haters will never ever understand that.

  • This is a very ignorant comment. No we can't expect him to be perfect. But we can expect him to try. The least he should be is reasonable and he's not even that.

    Obama's main men for the economic crisis are Geithner, Summers and Greenspan? You got to be kidding me right?

    These men are selected because that's what the businesses that funded Obamas presidential campaign wanted. It's not what the people want or what is best for them.

    He knows that but apparently doesn't care.

  • I 100% agree, Cenk. All they're doing is blackmailing the public through their representatives. They're, in effect, saying that if you don't go along with our conditions then we may just let the whole financial system fail and then where will you be, Mr. President? Well, that same threat can be made back to them. Where will THEY be if the whole financial system collapses? Hmmm...ever been witness to a peoples' revolt against the establishment, against the rich? It's not pretty, fellas.

  • word

  • Actually, most of the trillion dollars WILL come out of thin air...the FED will just print more money.

    Which in itself, is the most stupid thing you can do in a financial crisis, it is a recipe for hyper-inflation.

  • Nice to hear that the sound issues have been addressed. Thank you.

  • Can we really trust anyone in government?

  • It's hard to trust anyone honestly. I've grown so disinterested in what any of these people have to say.

  • No, but you have to trust someone. In my eyes, it's about finding someone in government who is the least likely to betray the American people. Let's face it, politicians are politicians and they love attention - and that leaves them vulnerable to do things they otherwise wouldn't have done or said. But you should never just become apathetic to government affairs, but stay informed about it. Being apathetic is like letting the wolves guard the sheep.

  • Tim Geithner you are a bastard.

    Why? Because CENK! SAYS SO!!

  • strait talk...

  • TYT - I agree whole heartedly! I want freakin RECEIPTS!!!!!!

  • Good job TYT!!! I agree fully.

  • American Greed is why this happened. that's not about to change anytime soon. No package will eradicate that. Initially american greed is what made America great. Now the greed has surpassed the limit of usefullness. Nothing will float this sinking ship.

  • If they take taxpayer money -- THERE MUST BE RESTRICTIONS PUT IN PLACE -- Barack needs to get tough w/ these guys!

  • It's Axl Rose not Axl Rod

  • Hey Cenk Uygur, did you actually graduate from Wharton and also studied law at Columbia?
