I wonder why NBC thinks anyone would be interested in the economic fantasies of tax cheat Tim Geithner ?

Because he has his boot on everybody's neck and now has the power to choke the life out of whomever he pleases without any pesky inhibition from Congress, the Courts, or anybody else?

Those reasons?

I wonder why NBC thinks anyone would be interested in the economic fantasies of tax cheat Tim Geithner?

Remember that he also managed to buy his Larchmont, NY house in a bidding war around the real estate market peak.

"The Geithners paid a premium for the house when they bought it in 2004, plunking down $1.601 million after a bidding war. "

But to answer your question -- NBC is interested because he may be an economic ignoramus, but he is well spoken, can tie a half-Windsor knot and has impeccable academic credentials.
