I voted for Obama and as soon as he nominated Geitner I knew he wasn't about change , but just another puppet. apparently The President gets to pick his Sec. of Treasury, but his choices are presented by The Federal Reserve!!
Even if Obama is/was privy to all of the Fed's stupid decisions, do you really think that he has ANY power to stop these guys? Has any president since the Fed has been instituted REALLY have the power to stop these guys from doing their dirt?? Simple answer: not even remotely. I love seeing these guys getting raked over the coals, but at the end of the day, they don't answer to the U.S. Government, and Alan Greenspan stated that himself...
What do you expect the FED DOES NOT BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT!! It was taken over by the banks after 1913. If the FED is owned by the banks what makes you think they will not take care of their own instead of the tax payer. You wanna see the greatest robbery of all time? Take a look at the income tax!!!
Politicians are politicians =_= this is why I don't shoot for a particular party. Whoever's right, that's who gets my vote, not that they care about me xD
few congressmen are sufficiently intellectually equipped to have a casual conversation with geithner on the financial crisis. its a shame that people who can't even understand a legitimate justification of paying par value for AIG's toxic assets are ruling this country. furthermore, its the government's tactical failure that enabled AIG's counterparties to demand such terms. geithner is a scapegoat
Yep, pretty transparent bullshitting by Geithner. Just spitting out the two false extremes in his "answer" that weren't part of the congressmans question. A weak tactic I've seen many people try and use. I didn't know Geithner was this bad when he was first hired.
More like they really should be brought up on charges of embezzlement, sedition and traitors. Them and the cartel they really represent, the Federal Reserve, have been stealing from us from the beginning to end. Blaming him is like blaming the soldier for the war. You gotta get some principles, oligarchs, some board members at the secret meeting that plan these national ripoffs. Geitner is just another front man for the real rottenness.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fact: Stock markets are rising due to obama's reckless fiscal and monetary policies. The USD is devaluing and stocks prices are just adjusting.
The low rates in the US means multi-national corps are borrowing from US and investing in China. Why would a creditor loan to Americans for Americans if the USD is devaluing?
obama's 2009 overspending was about $2 TRILLION. 2010 overspending already at $1.5 TRILLION. All that money going to large corps who bribed and lobbied obama.
Geithner needs to go, but the problem is that Obama wants to maintain an image of harmony and smoothness throughout the administration, and to refrain from getting tough. That is the only problem that I have with him, and I hope he'll get rid of it quickly, because people like Geithner give the republicans a lot of useful ammo, and Obama certainly doesn't need that right now. This systemic Democratic refusal to be ruthless and rough is the main reason why I haven't registered as a Democrat.
I don't really want them to be ruthless, I just want them to stick to their own agenda and not cave on every single issue. That would be a huge step forward ;)

The Bible clearly reveals it was the corrupt and evil politics of the Roman empire that delivered Jesus to the hypocritical Jewish religion whom crucified Him. Our Lord Jesus is outside of politics and outside of religion (Christianity included), and He is building His kingdom on earth today ironically unseen in Christianity. Those Republicans calls themselves Christians for their own sake and stomach, do not think it will not be judged when the Lord returns.
I think Republicans are capitalist that sees the results of their high defense spending back in their own pockets or votes from defense-related companies and supporters. What will the already rich Republicans who lusts for more money get in return if they returned that money back to the tax-payers through health care reform? The same can be said about Foreign Aid.

I'm not going to say Obama's the worse or best president yet it's too early to say that. Unlike some idiots on here I try to wait until the term is up to make that decision.
since when do puppets matter? everybody arguing and expressing there idiotic bias about obama and others - all the while nobody is focusing on the people who sign the checks of these puppets - THINK AMERICA THINK - please!!!!
@slwfreez True, but the Internet is changing the dynamics somewhat. Now there is at least the semblance of a media. They may be opinionated but bloggers and whatnot do put out facts and draw attention to things that would otherwise be "clipped for time/space" in established media. These facts are always framed in their particular ideology but at least they report it (in my experience anyway).
@lordofalltheland If I was in Congress, I would interrupt, saying "If I may interrupt the chair for a second, I'd like to ask Mr. Geithner to stop burning like bacon on a grill. Thank you, foh shizzle."
You mean like Hank Paulson who was the republican appointee who was also the one who started the whole bailout program to begin with.Its funny how some of you people all of a sudden started paying attention to what goes on in Washington just because Obama was elected.
So you don't want me to pay attention to what is going on in Washington just because Obama was elected?
Everything is going to be alright. Our big daddy Obama will take care of us. Don't u worry about politics. Just leave it to Obama. He is our savior. Do you want him to get angry by paying attention? Of course Not. Now go to sleep.
Obama may be your savior but he's not mine.But if your going to start playing silly games like saying Geithner is Obama's appointee,don't forget the small simple fact that Hank Paulson was Bushes appointee.And he started the bailouts.Geithner and Paulson both worked for Goldman Sachs,So if you don't see the connection then your either blind or stupid.Both parties are corrupt.And thats a fact.
You said it perfectly surferray69. The two-party system is a complete failure and these corrupt financial appointees go back many decades with both parties, more proof of how much power and influence that banks have over our government.
TURKS HELLOOOOO!!! Anybody in there??!!!?? Cenk, your reality has to change! It makes perfect sense to me.
Obama and Geithner work for the same boss. Geithner is the dairy manager, and Obama is the store manager. But the owner is the one calling the shots, not the managers! Theyr'e just the ones you see!
I thought it would be a hundred years before I saw worse policy than Bush, but it took one day.
THIS IS the New America, based on a lie. Watch "WTC 7 compilation."
Also, am I the ONLY fucking person who wasn't expecting Obama to be the savior of America? McCain/Palin would have thrown us farther into the shitter, but Obama would have the courtesy not to let us slide farther, and may be able to pull us up a bit. There's no way we can remain a powerful country without the support of the rest of the world, which is Obama's Specialty. We voted Obama in to prove that we aren't an ass-backwards nation that just elects cowboys and kills Arabs.
After over a year and TRILLIONS of tax dollars spent unemployment has tripled, personal bankruptcies are rising, and the economy is just getting worse.
obama's over-spending was over $1.8 TRILLION last year alone. And, this year's federal budget states that over-spending is already at around $1.5 TRILLION. All that tax money is going to those who bribed and lobbied obama.
Large companies love socialized government spending. Think about it.
It is cute that you somehow connected Bushie's budget to Obama. Typical ignorant redneck. Stop staring at propaganda fake news networks and fear monger blogs please.
Excuse me, but tell me why when Republicans spend billions of dollars on wars and guns, they're considered heroes, but when Democrats spend billions on Health Care and Foreign Aid, they're considered villains.
Am I wrong, or is there some serious Values Dissonance here?
(Fun Fact! Christianity seems to be about peace and love, but Republicans, who seem to favor war , are mostly Christians. No, I'm not going to go into religious debate, I'm just pointing out hypocrisy.)
Jesus was neither "conservative" or "liberal", He did the Father's will of incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, becoming the life-giving Spirit to be breathed into our spirit, and ascension.
It makes total sense. Obama told Geithner to pay off the bankers because Obama is not the guy we voted for. He's not the independent change agent we thought he was. He is the head Corporatist Democrat. It's not his advisers fault, the Senators, the Representatives, or the Republicans. Change isn't happening and the money is going to the banks because of Obama. He is screwing us over on purpose. Not by mistake or inexperience. He know what he's doing and who he's helping. Start blaming him!
If you buy something from a salesman without asking if it works, you can't get pissed at him when you find out it doesn't work. CONGRESS NEEDS TO START READING WHAT THEY ARE PASSING. PAULSON'S PLAN WAS 3 PAGES LONG. 3 PAGES!
It's not Geithner's job to look out for the American People, it's the job of CONGRESS. This hearing is ridiculous. CONGRESS voted on a bailout - then they see that it doesn't work - so instead of taking the blame they look for scapegoats. SELF IMPORTANT IDIOTS. CENK- I'M SURPRISED YOUR BUYING THIS BS
Lynch and Geitner are TRULY Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than these two ass-clowns could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for they both wear the skirt in his family while their wives wear the pants!
ECW, your tag line is utter failure. What did you do ... spend 2 weeks deciding what phrase to plagiarize so that you could copy-paste it into every video you watch?
"You piece of repeating shit, I'm coming out of this boooootha"
geithner should be fucking outta here in a heart beat. If he is not, Obama is toast. He will loose the midterm. But much worse is that these assholes will take much of the country down along with them. What a shame american politics have become. We have a choice between the devil and the deep sea. FUCK !!
Goldman Sachs getting 100 cents on the dollar only makes sense in that the execs at GS are Paulson's buddies and were his co-workers. So, of course, they are going to get whatever they want from Paulson and GW at taxpayer expense.
Audit the Federal Reserve Bank then abbolish it. Like i said earlier on, research what i have said before you dismiss it...if you don't know the past then you will never understand the future.
ConspiracyScience have a pretty good multi-part article debunking most, if not all the misinformation in that film.
When it comes down to it, Zeitgeist mostly stands on evidence that has been circulated in conspiracy forums, and not necessarily come from any reliable source, either that or the evidence is fabricated.
the guy who wrote the article u speak of said this: "the movie implies this later by saying the Federal Reserve System creates worthless money, but if that was the case, I don't see why we haven't had massive market crashes and wide-spread instability as we did prior to the modern system."
lmfao. Did u actually read the article? I've actually copied all the shit i know to be wrong, and referenced rebuttals to your hero's assertions, but there's a character limit here so let me know if u want it
where can i post this rebuttal? sorry, I got sassy because the author of the article got so many things wrong on the financial/money side of things (and therefore u have to scrutinise the entire article now) that it's downright clownish. Also it irritated me a little to not be addressed directly, but instead referred to some article written by some clown and have it spoken of as if it were not the opinion and misunderstandings of some small man.
Why do you think it is that every where they go the story is always the same? because they do shit like this all the time and when people find out about it they become upset and attack them. They did this shit in Germany and Hitler rose to power. Research it before you label me anti semetic. People like Geithner, Bernanke, Greenspan, Summers, Ruebin, Paulson, etc...their all criminals. You think your politicians don't know this? In the words of Cenk, OF COURSEEEE! They're all in on it.
America was never intended to be a democracy. Democracy is a jewish concept brought in by Roosevelt. In reality America is a Republic but politicians know that with their democracy they can play these "bipartisan" games and pretend that they're fighting against each other. Republican / Democrat, it's all bullshit. When it comes to the major issues that the elite put them there for, they all agree. When it comes to issues where the everyday person is concerned they can't seem to get things done.
Jews have taken over america by following the protocals of zion. They wrote that book as a guide to take over the world and EVERY SINGLE THING IN THAT BOOK IS HAPPENING NOW! They control the media, the banks, the congress, politicians all across the globe, Hollywood & the entertainment industry, big Pharma, major corporations, etc...Obama is surrounded by zionists like R. Emanuel who fought in the IDF army! lol...how are people not outraged by that?
Where was all this outrage at the time of the meltdown? Oh that's right, these critics had their heads up their posteriors.
If these politicians want someone to blame, they should look in the mirror. Many of them are the same ones who pushed deregulation that helped lead to this mess.
Of course Obama knows and approves. He's not an idiot like Bush. He knows the score, and he knows who butters his bread - Golman Sachs. So Goldman Sachs owns the White House.
Maybe you are just too stupid to realize how stupid you really are. Or, maybe you are just obsessively infatuated with your obama messiah.
Tell us exactly the economic logic of how your obama messiah's policies will create jobs and fix the economy.
Because after over a year and TRILLIONS of tax dollars spent unemployment has tripled, personal bankruptcies are rising, and the economy is just getting worse.
"President Bush's annual deficits were less than $300 billion a year"
- Yea, except thats completely and utterly false. Bush brought up the U.S deficit to a record 10' trillion dollars. Every argument you make from this point on is clearly irrelevant, and illogic, since you think you can just throw around words and numbers like they have no meaning.
Republicans were in power leading up to the great depression. And here after 8 years of Republican rule our economy was on the precipice again with the dow jones around 6k.....By the way the stock market opened over 10 k today after 1 year of Obama.
FDR, a Democrat, ended the great depression using a combination of financial reform, and job creation through gov't spending, although he reduced gov't spending in other areas.
WW2 also created demand for production and jobs.
I don't believe any "conservative" from our time would have handled the task as well as FDR did.
Again, you are a fucking idiot. Were you too stupid to get into a college or something? LOL
The New Deal lasted from 1933 to 1936, and it failed. Look at the unemployment numbers.
WW2 started in 1939, which is when the US economy started to become better. After WW2 the other developed countries were devastated, and the US was not attacked at home. US had a strong manufacturing base and a strong USD, making it world currency.
dude i read this comment and thought you were pretty smart... but i looked at your other comments and such. wtf is wrong with you man, stop being so partisan, your hatred for the other side of the isle is sickening
The Great Depression began in 1929, and was preceded by 8 years of laissez-faire Republican leadership. The economy began a slow recovery in 1933, the same year FDR (a democrat) was elected and put together the New Deal.
Elements of the New Deal persisted for decades, and some continue to this day. One of these, the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed in 1999, under Republican pressure. Many people speculate that repealing this act contributed heavily to the current financial crises.
@wtfdoihavetodohere: yes, that's a high-school version of the Great Depression.
There are three phases to the Great Depression (and there are many similarities to the crisis today in many respect):
1) Benjamin Strong of the Fed created the easy-credit policy to support his buddies at Bank of England in mid 20's. (equiv to Greenspan's low-interest policy in early 2000)
2) Hoover's meddling - protectionism (eg Smoot, Mexican Repatriation Act), public works (eg Hoover Dam), tax hike, price fixing
@wtfdoihavetodohere: (encouraging Ford & other industrialists to maintain workers high wage or even raise).
3) FDR picked up and doubled Hoover's plan (doubling the Federal budget from $4B to $8B) and called it the "New Deal".
That's pretty much why the unemployment remained in high-10's / low-20's despite all that money spending. In addition, Hoover/FDR's policies weren't based on sound economics or understanding of the crisis - it was trial-and-error. Some succeeded, but most failed.
@wtfdoihavetodohere: Subsequently, all future attempts to emulate this misunderstood New Deal ended in tears (especially in the poor third nations between 50-80).
No, the Glass-Steagall Act, by the time it was repealed, was almost useless - in that most banks found ways to circumvent the law.
Ironically, Citibank, who heavily lobbied for the repeal during the Clinton era and the only beneficiary of the repeal, is the only bank to have failed. In another word, this crisis and the repeal really
@wtfdoihavetodohere : don't have much to do with each other. Likewise, most economists, or even politicians like Barney Frank (of all people), don't think the repeal had anything to do with the crisis.
@wtfdoihavetodohere: economic crises under no-intervention policy actually does much better. Take for instance the 1921 Depression.
The depression was caused by the war inflation (ww1) and had much deeper contraction (15%), but it lasted less than 1 year. Without any gov't intervention or propping up - all the bad assets (malinvestments) were liquidated and the country got back on its fee. The gov't was soon back in surpluses and the national debt reduced.
Members of the house in general can get away with a lot more on either side because there's more of them, so there isn't as much scrutiny on any one individual as there is on members of the Senate.

Obama may be your savior but he's not mine.But if your going to start playing silly games like saying Geithner is Obama's appointee,don't forget the small simple fact that Hank Paulson was Bushes appointee.And he started the bailouts.Geithner and Paulson both worked for Goldman Sachs,So if you don't see the connection then your either blind or stupid.Both parties are corrupt.And thats a fact.

There's no way we can remain a powerful country without the support of the rest of the world, which is Obama's Specialty.

After over a year and TRILLIONS of tax dollars spent unemployment has tripled, personal bankruptcies are rising, and the economy is just getting worse.
obama's over-spending was over $1.8 TRILLION last year alone. And, this year's federal budget states that over-spending is already at around $1.5 TRILLION. All that tax money is going to those who bribed and lobbied obama.

The Great Depression began in 1929, and was preceded by 8 years of laissez-faire Republican leadership. The economy began a slow recovery in 1933, the same year FDR (a democrat) was elected and put together the New Deal.
Elements of the New Deal persisted for decades, and some continue to this day. One of these, the Glass-Steagall Act was repealed in 1999, under Republican pressure. Many people speculate that repealing this act contributed heavily to the current financial crises.

@wtfdoihavetodohere: yes, that's a high-school version of the Great Depression.
There are three phases to the Great Depression (and there are many similarities to the crisis today in many respect):
1) Benjamin Strong of the Fed created the easy-credit policy to support his buddies at Bank of England in mid 20's. (equiv to Greenspan's low-interest policy in early 2000)
2) Hoover's meddling - protectionism (eg Smoot, Mexican Repatriation Act), public works (eg Hoover Dam), tax hike, price fixing
tooltalk 2 years ago
@wtfdoihavetodohere: (encouraging Ford & other industrialists to maintain workers high wage or even raise).
3) FDR picked up and doubled Hoover's plan (doubling the Federal budget from $4B to $8B) and called it the "New Deal".
That's pretty much why the unemployment remained in high-10's / low-20's despite all that money spending. In addition, Hoover/FDR's policies weren't based on sound economics or understanding of the crisis - it was trial-and-error. Some succeeded, but most failed.
tooltalk 2 years ago
@wtfdoihavetodohere: Subsequently, all future attempts to emulate this misunderstood New Deal ended in tears (especially in the poor third nations between 50-80).
No, the Glass-Steagall Act, by the time it was repealed, was almost useless - in that most banks found ways to circumvent the law.
Ironically, Citibank, who heavily lobbied for the repeal during the Clinton era and the only beneficiary of the repeal, is the only bank to have failed. In another word, this crisis and the repeal really
tooltalk 2 years ago
@wtfdoihavetodohere : don't have much to do with each other. Likewise, most economists, or even politicians like Barney Frank (of all people), don't think the repeal had anything to do with the crisis.
tooltalk 2 years ago
@wtfdoihavetodohere: economic crises under no-intervention policy actually does much better. Take for instance the 1921 Depression.
The depression was caused by the war inflation (ww1) and had much deeper contraction (15%), but it lasted less than 1 year. Without any gov't intervention or propping up - all the bad assets (malinvestments) were liquidated and the country got back on its fee. The gov't was soon back in surpluses and the national debt reduced.
