Geithner Needs to Go! - Dave Chandler's Earthside

Description

Earthside Comments: The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner, should resign or President Obama should fire him.

As head of the New York Federal Reserve, Geithner was one of the architects of the AIG bailout under the Bush regime ... along with his income tax problems, he was a flawed choice to lead the Treasury Department from the beginning.

Geithner is a Wall Street insider who is clearly playing the game for the benefit of his Wall Street cronies. Obama needs to make a break with the conventional, establishment, corporate financial gamblers -- getting rid of Geithner is a necessary first step.

If Obama stays on his present course of simply trying to re-inflate the credit, borrowing and consumption bubble, then his economic polices will ultimately be doomed to failure.

Yes already, the time has come for Geithner to go.
