I know Timmy is an over-educated nancy boy who is about as useful as teats on a bull, but still he has to know what comes out of his mouth is complete BS.

How can he with a straight face say the following:"Geithner conceded the point, but then suggested the administration’s planned tax increase on small businesses would be “good for growth.”

He's either a complete moron or he thinks we are!

[Geithner's] either a complete moron or he thinks we are!

Geithner is an Ivy Leaguer (Dartmouth) -- as so many of this administration are.

I'm becoming convinced that the Ivy League specializes in moron training. And that an Ivy League phD equals idiocy.

Ivy League education + lifetime in academia / govt jobs

I heard that EPA is releasing an additional 2600 pages of regulations that business must comply with.

Someday they’ll be nothing left to tax but the salaries of government workers, and they’ll have to use the revenue from that tax to pay those salaries.

That ought to work out quite well. As well as any other socialist scheme in history.

Pencil neck overpaid university bubble boy prick...just one punch. Never worked an honest day in his life telling us small business owners we need to pay more taxes.

If I could...just have one...

People making 50K working their butts off for a a small business have to take it in the shorts...

Thanks to Obama and his minions like Geithner, a lot of those folks no longer make 50K.

Geithner is an Ivy Leaguer (Dartmouth) -- as so many of this administration are.

I'm becoming convinced that the Ivy League specializes in moron training. And that an Ivy League phD equals idiocy.

The PBS program, Frontline, reviewed the efforts made by Brooksley Born, when she was with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission [CFTC], to regulate derivatives. Levitt, Greenspan, Rubin and Summers, etc. threw her under the bus.

They ALL agreed against her - saying that the markets could regulate themselves and REFUSED to believe her evidence that the unregulated derivatives market was a house of cards.

In EARLY 1993-1994, a HUGE bank ALMOST went belly-up [due to derivatives], and ONLY survived with a cash infusion of like $50 Billion. Even AFTER that, these MORONS refused to believe her - stating that it was an anamoly. They then let the derivatives market go merrily on its way as before ...

Then, 14 years later, the derivatives market imploded and took the economy down with it ...

“No, that’s right. I agree with that,” said Geithner. “But just to put it in perspective, it’s important to recognize why are we doing this. You know, our deficits are 10 percent of GDP, higher than they’ve been since any time in the postwar period really. We have a big hole to dig out of, and we have to figure out how to do that in a way that’s balanced, good for growth, fair to people as a whole.”

We truly live under the jackboot of tyranny.
