Geithner....partisan moron

[Listening]

Is Tim Geithner the most politically partisan treasury secretary in history? Certainly sounds like it these days. As the government’s chief financial officer, he’s spending a lot of time firing campaign barbs at various Republicans and their policies.

Geithner has blasted Mitt Romney by name on several occasions. He frequently attacks Representative Paul Ryan and the GOP budget. And he recently fired a broadside at top-Romney economist Glenn Hubbard, who is presently dean of the Colombia Business School.

Responding to a Hubbard op-ed in the Wall Street Journal -- which calculated that the president’s spending plans would require an 11 percent tax increase on people earning less than $200,000 a year -- Geithner said, “That’s a completely made-up, remarkably hackish observation for an economist.”

Hubbard a hack?

Besides running a highly respected Ivy League business school, he was the chairman of President George W. Bush’s council of economic advisors. He also earned his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard.

I suggest you take the rest of it in.

Hubbard does the math and Geithner does not like the outcome...so, in typical Obama fashion, he attacks the messenger.

I think the GOP should hammer him and others, including Corazine, as hard as they hammer Obama. This administration has done nothing to help America and is a bunch of whinny assed weasels when it comes to answering for their failures.

What happened to 8% unemployment....Blame Boooosh. What about...does not matter....Blame Booooosh.

It make you real confident to know that we have such a great group of jerkwads in D.C.. I am worried that if a boatload of 200 grandmothers from Spain rowed up the Patomic and attacked the W.H....we'd surrender. And then they'd spend the next 10 years blaming each other.

Remember this from back in February?

Geithner to Ryan: White House Has No ‘Definitive Solution’ to Debt Crisis…And We Don’t Want Yours

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told the House Budget Committee Thursday that President Obama’s fiscal year 2013 budget – “the most expensive in United States history” – would “put the U.S. on an ‘unsustainable’ course if enacted,” reports The Washington Free Beacon.

Geithner also told Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) that although the Obama administration doesn’t have a “definitive solution” to the debt crisis, it definitely knows it doesn’t like the Republican alternative.

“Leaders are supposed to fix problems. We have a $99.4 trillion unfunded liability. Our government is making promises to Americans that it has no way of accounting for. And so you’re saying, yeah, we’re stabilizing it but we’re not fixing it in the long run. That means that we’re just going to keep lying to people,” Rep. Paul Ryan said.

“We’re going to keep all these empty promises going … You’re showing that you have no plan to get this debt under control. You’re saying we’ll stabilize it but then it’s just going to shoot back up. And so my argument is, that’s Europe. That is bringing us toward a European debt crisis,” he added.

“What our budget does is get our deficits down to a sustainable path over the budget window. Why do they take off again? Why do they do that?” Treasury Secretary Geithner asked.

“Because we got 10,000 people retiring every day, and healthcare costs going up–” Rep. Ryan responded.

Bingo!!!!​

"Timothy F. Geithner has been misidentified as a former Wall Street insider from Goldman Sachs so many times since he became the Treasury secretary that he and his advisers had taken to joking about it. Then the joke backfired.

Treasury advisers say the mislabeling of Mr. Geithner began before he took office, with a column in The Washington Post before the presidential inauguration that referred to him as “a Goldman Sachs alum.”

The columnist, Al Kamen, wrote this the next day: “The folks at Goldman Sachs called to note an error in yesterday’s column. Treasury Secretary-designate Timothy F. Geithner has not worked at the investment bank. Our apologies to Goldman Sachs — and to Geithner.”

 

[Listening]

Yes, he's great.

Only he seems a little short on math skills and long on the mouth.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Turbo Tim Geithner is a tool

 

[SniperFire]

'Geithner also told Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) that although the Obama administration doesn’t have a “definitive solution” to the debt crisis'

More EPIC FAIL, straight from the horse's mouth.

As if we needed another reason to shat these turds in November.

 

[Oldstyle]

Barry appointed a guy who couldn't figure out Turbo Tax to be the Secretary of the Treasury...HELLO!!!!

It's akin to picking a kid who just flunked Driver's Ed to be behind the wheel of your Indy 500 race entry.

It wouldn't be so bad if Obama was clueless if he'd just had enough sense to choose some people for his Administration who WEREN'T.

Another pub lie that the rw's don't bother to check out. They're heads are just a-bobbing up and down so fast, they can't be bothered with FACTS.
