Nothing to say than what we all know. Now it makes sense why the discussion has shifted to gun bans among other useless giberish..

Shouldn't even be news because it's not news.
Even the MSM shouldn't be that naive to think the Fed/Treasury/banks are some type of separate entities.

Even libs were unhappy when Obama picked Geithner, who was after all, partly responsible for enabling the Wall Street implosion to begin with. There have been a lot of explanations for that choice, most of which come down to Obama's innate cautiousness, confrontation avoidance, and tendency to go with "the enemy you know". Which makes it all the more absurd that conservatives paint him as some radical socialist revolutionary (with Nazi tendencies ...LOL)!

So basically...Libs were unhappy that he ISN'T a blatant Socialist that put the Authoritarian brakes on freedom?

Or, is he just not moving his Socialist hand fast enough??

Or....are the Republicans and Democrats both quasi-socialists statists that distract the public while they push the global agenda??

that's all I got out of your post....

Please...tell me who you though Obama was...and what you think he is now.....

How did they feel about Summers who helped repeal Glass-Steigall and helped give us unregulated mortgage backed derivatives?

How did they feel about Napolitano who put returning vets on a terrorist watch list?


If it were Bush, liberals would lose their minds, but it's not, so it's OK.

Exactly....How anybody can sit here and say that Obama hired Geithner because he lacks "political courage"...and keep a straight face...is beyond me.

How do these apologists take themselves serious?

Progressivism is nothing but a hoax...It's the ideology of "damage control while we finish these last agonizing details of self service"

The sad thing is the American population does not even care what is happening in this article. They have been successfully brainwashed and pay attention to what they are told to, like gun control and reality TV.

This s**t really pisses me off they they are getting away with what they are and America can care less.

It's a pretty sophisticated operation.. you know how a 'magician' fools the audience, same approach.

- The citizens work and create capital. How can you steal someone's capital? Easy
- Force them to use a currency called dollars to save their capital. Say you are always working to make that currency every day (which is complete BS).
- Never, ever, ever show the people how a currency works.
- print currency by 'borrowing' it from the fed, which is really not borrowing because the fed pays back the interest to the treasury.
- the new currency by default steals from existing savers by devaluating their existing dollar holdings. Simple supply and demand proves this.
- sign a contract with a rich friend of yours in the medical, education, or military complex, unions too, and overpay by tons (nobody cares anyway.....yet).
- capital has just been removed from savers (aka workers, retirees, etc) and handed over to a selected few who will become ever wealthier for doing nothing other than stealing from the masses. Workers contribute food, housing, clothing, cars, the benefactors contribute theft.

This, people, is what the left and even the so called right is defending. He left will con the workers, and so will the right.

WAKE UP.... you are in the middle being stolen from... yet you seem to think this is a damn football game. They are stealing your livelihood.
