CONGRESSMAN BRADY ASKS GEITHNER TO STEP DOWN

19 November 2009 by TPC 5 Comments

This relatively boring hearing suddenly turned exciting when Congressman Kevin Brady asked Tim Geithner to step down. The economic team that President Obama put in place (primarily Geithner and Summers) has been largely responsible for the current predicament. This is not to imply that the Republicans and President Bush did not play an equal (or greater) role in the economic crisis, but it’s truly astonishing that the people who helped cause this crisis are the same ones who are attempting to steer us out of it:

Well, Geithner doesn’t seem like he’s about to resign. He’s very reassuring, “by continuing the economic policy of the prior administration, we’re less bad than Armageddon.” Great. Thanks.

Obama nailed his own coffin shut when he hired Clinton’s economic team. It’s kind of sad that such a progressive thinker will only be remembered for his economic performance. This crisis isn’t going away anytime soon and when unemployment is still at 8% when he runs for re-election he is going to finally realize that it’s the economy stupid!

It is about time! It seems to be to the point where the populous is turning and the Democrats might need to scare everyone into voting for them. Gee how could they do that? Timmy is still blaming the last administration and I’m not sure how much longer they can get away with that.
