[quote=pri_dk]So everybody hates Geithner. An easy position to take.
Could be worse. At least he’s not Andrew Mellon.
So let’s look at the situation in the real world, i.e. in the context of the available alternatives (often more useful than than echoing talking points or mocking a person’s appearance.)
So, who would be a better choice?

Actually I don’t think that’s a useful exercise… who’s a better choice in the context of “available alternatives” who might actually get appointed (i.e., other deeply entrenched insiders who support serial financial industry bailouts and employ a demonstrably flawed analytical framework)? Who cares? I think I will stick to making fun of his elf ears.
As far as bringing data, I an not going to spend the time it would take to rehash his long history of being wrong and of helping to facilitate a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the banks and financial speculators. The info is all out there.
