[quote=briansd1]It’s all relative. Compare Geithner to Paulson, Rubin, Baker or Regan. The reference to Andrew Mellon is apt.
Geithner was never a banker. He’s been a policy maker most of his career.
Given the magnitude of the financial crisis, aren’t you pleasantly surprised at how the financial team was able to redress the world economy?
We now have renewed growth and stability in asset prices and employment. Isn’t that something to rejoice about?
Perhaps the corruption that you guys are perceiving is not the person but the system that we have?
flu, did you ever hear Geithner speak Mandarin?[/quote]
Yes, he was over in taiwan for awhile…Your point? I think you’re giving him much more credit than he deserves.
We borrowed until our noses bleed, and actually we don’t need to worry about it, because we aren’t paying for it…Our kids will. So a few things that I have learned.
1) I’m going to take advantage of every possible bubble that is happening right now and tuck things away for my kid, because if I don’t she’s screwed in a decade or so..
2) I’m going to continue to spend like crazy, because I figure I can’t possibly be worse off than others who will be in the same boat…And if I don’t spend, I’m going to be taxed up the ying yang anyway… So might as well enjoy life in the meantime…..Spend spend spend….Our government can’t balance their books, and I don’t plan on doing it myself….And trust me, I’m putting my money to where my mouth is…
FLU (sick and tired of everyone else enjoying the good life while being financially irresponsible)
