He should know ... he’s steering us into it! This is like a river guide going broadside towards the rapids yelling “this is gonna get really bad!”
There might be another Great Depression, especially with us running the show! LOL!
You wanted “Change” America. How you like it? :)
What wimpering drama queens these Obamaroids are.
The sad part is, there are tens of millions of Americans who are actually dumb enough to believe this garbage.
What an utter crock!
He sounds like a caricature.
Surely this is from the Onion!
Just wait and see...
Freeking morons.
No sh*t Sherlock Holmes.
“At least according to Tim Geithner.”
TIMMAH! TIMMAH!
go get a real job and educate yourself, TIMMAH.(At the VERY least....)
If they were to confiscate every dime made by the 2%, it would not help the ordinary citizen. Most of it would go to the middleman—government. Capital is now on strike. just watch it flee the country.
Who would know better than the architect of the situation.

We mentioned earlier how John Boehner appeared to cave to Obama on the tax question, admitting that the GOP could possibly support a bill that extended the Bush tax cuts for the middle class, even while ending them for the rich.
Here was the exchange:
Bob Schieffer: "I want to make sure I heard what you said correctly: you're saying that you are willing to vote for those middle class tax cuts, even though the bill will not include ... extending the tax cuts for the upper bracket American."
Rep. Boehner: "Bob, we don't know what the bill's going to say, alright? If the only option I have is to vote for those at 250 and below, of course I'm going to do that. But I'm going to do everything I can to fight to make sure that we extend the current tax rates for all Americans."
Uh, just like that is he rolling over?
Already team Boehner is trying to spin things.
Talking Points Memo:
A Boehner aide told our Christina Bellantoni: "Despite what Obama says, Republicans are not holding middle-class tax cuts hostage and we're not going to let him get away with those types of false claims. Our focus remains on getting bipartisan support for a freeze on all current rates, because that is what is best for the economy and small business job creation. Boehner's words were calculated to deprive Obama of the ability to continue making those false claims, and as a result we are in a better position rhetorically to pressure more Democrats to support a full freeze."
But that doesn't make logical sense to me. Not in political terms. It sounds more like Boehner gave Obama an opening, not just for a better policy approach but also for a better political footing to take into the mid-term election.
Not that this is much of a line-of-scrimmage mover, but we were right that this is a good line of attack for Obama, as Boehner doesn't quite know how to deal with this issue. We'll see if Obama can make more hay out of it.
This from a dim wit who can’t do his own taxes with Turbo Tax?
Shift? The government's mostly been hurting economic growth for several years.
Geithner knows this, of course, which is why he is trying to scare people away from what their common sense is telling them must be done.
If only the reins would be cut on excessive regulation and taxation, then the floodgates of BUSINESS investment -- the only true investment -- would be opened. The guy is wringing his hands over the thought that the almighty government might have its hands tied over a Republican takeover. These Keynesians can't even consider the possibility that their hero might have been wrong.
What Geithner proposes is exactly the same mistakes that FDR made that took the US into the great depression. Read Thomas Sowell’s column today (Sunday) - he discusses FDR’s policy just a bit. It is the intervention that is the cause, not the cure.
Earth to Geithner - we have been in a depression for some time now. Like Barry, I’m guessing that Tim has been on a luxury vacation tour and still hasn’t gotten up to date with the latest news. Barry’s egghead elitists are now threatening the American public with further economic destruction unless we fully comply with the Dems insane game plan.
This economy is going through a shakeout and the best thing we can do is to let the free market do what the free market does.
As if Geithner knows anything about paying taxes.
Little Timmy and Robert Reichchchch. Two intellectual midgets.
