Geithner Fails to Learn Lessons of Japan's Stimulus Failure

The leftists at the NYSlimes published an article on Friday defending the Non-stimulating Porkified Pile of Socialist Excrement. The leftist moonbat "journalists" working for my local newspaper reprinted the article in its entirety, but managed to show off their creative writing skills by slightly rewording the article's title.

Although paying minor lipservice to the fact that some people oppose our current Pork Pie (a few paragraphs contain conservative arguments against increased government spending, but they are tempered by "yes, but..." arguments), the article contains the typical stale communist arguments that are being trumpeted by the Obama administration.

Little wonder that the article sounds like it was written by a Kool-Aid-drinking Obamanut, they glowingly mention how our new Treasury Secretary, Tax-Cheat Tim lived in Japan during their Lost Decade and learned first-hand about Japan's Big Failure. He must have learned so much, in fact,...

Here's my question:

Geithner was a "must have" for Obama. The guy was dirty. His tax problems were found and widely discussed. But Geithner was so perfect, so essential in the role of Treasury Secretary, that he just had to be confirmed.

What is it about this guy? As far as I can see, he's a sucker who falls hard for the sham of Keynesian economics.

Somebody important wants him in place, to do something special.

Geithner Fails to Learn Lessons of Japan's Stimulus Failure

Uhhhhh.....no. Thanks to Japan's experiments with government-ordained stimuli, he has learned that this is the surest way to protract economic distress and, by extension, provide a political issue for DemocRATS to exploit for years to come.

In other words, job security. For himself.

Geithner was Henry Paulson's butt-boy in Bailout I. They're all in it together. The neighborhood scum have broken into the house and are looting the pantry.

Well, he used to work for the IMF. And any fool can see that we’d all be better off with a single world currency.
