“GEITHNER: ‘WE ARE NOT GOING TO PUT OUT DETAILS, UNTIL WE GET IT RIGHT’...”

Translation: “We still don’t know what the “fudge” we are doing.

After all, taxpayers are a source of protein.

Two step program to “protect” taxpayers:

1) Deep and permanent tax cuts.

2) Ongoing refunds of monies already stolen from productive Americans via the unfair-by-design, existing progressive taxation scheme.

Good Lord, that’s like saying, “Well, the chances are better than ever before!”

“Say, what time is it, anyway?”

And Mr. Geitner was the only man in DC who is capable of handling this problem? I see. Well, we knew that was horse hockey when we heard it.

Yeah, nobody knows more about “protecting a taxpayer” than somebody who avoided being a taxpayer.

Look deep into Geithner’s eyes- do you see a “people person” there? More like a rattlesnake

No credit card company has ever been able raise my rates for no reason ... because the bill gets paid in full every month.

When is this idiot and his puppetmaster, Obama, going to propose the PORK NATIONAL BANK OF THE USA? All employers would have to direct deposit all paychecks from employees into PNBUSA. When will they spend all of our hard earned money for all of their socialist agenda? They could just use it for paying our mortgages, gas, food, health care, medications, college etc. It would be Nirvana, Eutopia. Unicorns would roam the streets. Rainbows would be in the air at all times. The seas would drop and the temperature would moderate due to the most generous spending by those charged with running the PNBUSA. Can’t we all just get along and support such a proposal? It would be bipartisian. s/

"Morally Bankrupt Democrats" would be redundant.
