Geithner really reminds me of Michael Scott from The Office because when he speaks he doesn't realize what he is talking about.

I'm sick and tired of "crisis decision making" when the crisis is caused by those who are advising us on how to resolve the crisis for which they were responsible.

[JOMO59]

In any other realm or endeavor in business, if you continually must resort to "solving crisis after crisis" and asking your "customers" i.e., The American People to foot the bill for situations that are "too big to fail" you would be fired for allowing the crisis to occur to begin with. Moreover, if the crisis was caused under your watch when you knew and did nothing or even faciliated it, you would be in prison.

Geithner looks like a martian

@69ballsackarian everyone knows that the government is wrong now. it seems like the people clearly know whats going on. BUT, what are you going to do about it?

what will WE do about it? if we dont somehow go into a forceful approach, do you really think this country wont be communist in say, 20 years? voting doesnt do anything. the difference between dem and repub is like the difference between Michael Myers and Jason Voorhies. we are at a dead end. unless we do what our founding fathers did.

How can anyone say that if one single corporation AIG collapsed, their would be a great depression? what bullshit! because we are still in the recession. nothing has gotten better. obama keeps saying we re on the way up , when we are so in the hole.

fuckin people need to wake up and boycott taxes. if you realized if every single tax payer in the country would boycott paying there yearly returns, then that would wake up the government. TAXING AT ALL is and has always been unconstitutional.
