After blowing trillions and ruining us all, he fesses up. Thanks Sherlock.

Sounds like he’s saying it failed, not that they intend to stop.

This revelation surpasses the Einsteinian quote that the “definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.”

He’s gone one better by admitting that he knows the results will be the same, but he does it anyway.

Geithner on TV – “Keynesian economics has failed”

Yeah, and Kenyan economics failed also.

Reagomics and Supplyside economics 1 Socialistic Keynesian economics 0

Keynesian supporting Liberals keep on slamming the successful Reaganomics because it’s too conservative for them, and they don’t want too admit the success of Reagan.

Obama failed. That is the message. O will go down in history as the one who F’ed up America. That’s his legacy. Geithner is being PC, bottom line, he’s saying this administration failed the US.

Ludwig von Mises said, and I paraphrase: Let the market work because when govt. intervenes, the pain lasts a lot longer and recovery takes a lot longer. If anyone knows where and when Keynes' model worked, let me know. Like most of the ideology floated in DC today, Keynes had an ivory tower theory, which all the "brightest" professors in DC latched onto.

With some smart people in charge (and there are none in sight) the stimulus could have been avoided, some laws and regulations not been passed and we could be on our way out instead of digging in.

Instead of agonizing over raising the debt limit, just say no and get onto reining in EPA and strangling regulations.

If these limo liberals did not revise history in service to the “progress” of Marxism and beleive one another’s propganda, they would already know centralized economies do not work.

Liberals are always wrong and always so damned proud of it.

Amazing! At first I wasn't sure whether to read his quote as an admission of the failure of Keynesianism; but it is.

We don’t have the ability (because of the overhang in housing and the problems in the financial sector) to engineer artificially a stronger recovery.

There it is in one word: "artificial"

But he stops short of saying "we should have known we couldn't play God". Because he still doesn't think they can't, or shouldn't, "play God". I think he's bewildered by the failure of Keynesianism. He just can't figure it out.

One more bit of proof that Liberalism is not merely the philosophy of the evil or the insane ... it IS the philosophy of the STUPID.

"We don’t have the ability (because of the overhang in housing and the problems in the financial sector) to engineer artificially a stronger recovery."

A country's economy and government cannot be support by "housing" and a "financial sector" alone, as proven by downfall of those businesses recently. A contemporary country can survive, though, with enough manufacturing.

Over the past 40 years or so, for the first time in history and at an ever-doubling pace, Americans have run up credit cards, high LTV mortgages and home equity loans, new car loans, personal loans (for big-screen TVs and a zillion other toys), school loans, loans for vacations, loans for this, loans for that... all for the purpose of living high on the hog today with the idea that everything will be paid for sometime in the distant future. Always, in the distant future.

The common mindset has been, “Get complete gratification today, pay for it tomorrow!”. But then the cars depreciate, the TVs and toys break, the vacations and casino trips leave only memories, and the parties come to an end. But paying for it all, well, that continues for the next 15 to 30 years. But it’s okay - - just borrow some more and do it again, and push an even bigger day of reckoning out another 10, 15, or 30 years.

Naturally, the banks and the government have worked hard to be accomodating enablers. At least, they were until recently...

Of course, the government itself has operated in exactly the same way, and perhaps even more recklessly than the selfish, ignorant chattering class.

Gee, who saw this depression coming?
/sarc

The day of reckoning has come a little earlier than many expected. The time to pay the piper is here. It was inevitable.
