This is why this country is doomed: you don't get that Geithner did you a big service after the crisis, and you don't see that Warren is a blowhard.

@Arcturistheballer i dont totally agree with you but somewhat. i do agree that government is too big but so is the influence of special interests and lobbyists. no one cares about the people.

@maxten She was in charge of the TARP money on a 5 person committee giving hundreds of billions of dollars to wall street, you are completely wrong in that statement and it is sad how many people think what you said is true. Warren is for a HUGE increase in government size, spending and more importantly POWER. She wants government to have the power instead of the people.

Sorry, we all know the current credit system is completely hijacked by huge private hedge accounts shielded inside Wall St. Small businesses are crushed by middle men from that credit system and that is why we see our community economic infrastructure improvements are choke into numerous roadside constructions using low grade pavement particle materials repeatedly and traffic jams everywhere.
