Timmy the tax cheat stays on! How exciting!

His handlers still have funds to shift around and pull out of thin air. The international paupers will line up for a hand out no matter what. They have no believable alternative. The spike that is going to ruin the global Ponzi scheme is our own obligations. Look what has happened in the past 10 years. 4 more with this administration will bust the system instead of throw up the start of a turn around. It is CA, NY and every other non energy state´s debt, combined with broke boomers who will NOT find new jobs at the level of their lost jobs. All the underfunded pension funds, SS, SSI, and massive war on poverty programs. All of this will dilute your dollar. This USA is so far underwater at this point that only a disciplined businessman would have a clue about turning it around. That was too hard to comprehend for too many people and the cheating party controlled the hand count, so all of us have to hope we won´t be destroyed in 48 months. I´m afraid it is a long shot. Not sure a stunning failure would lead to sane America afterward. We might just be a bigger Argentina.

The approaching "fiscal cliff" is not the worst possible outcome for the american economy. The most likely "fix" is far, far worse!

A gradual, but steady, improvement in business and jobs that would be interpreted by our NEA educated generation of neo-keynsean economic illiterates as proof that "socialism ain´t all THAT bad" could consign our free-market constitutional republic to ash heap of history.

The american economy is analogous to a patient with advanced cancer forced to face the fearsome effects of radical surgery or palliate the pain with opiates and promises of a monetary marxist magic bullet cure.

If we become accustomed to serfdom we may, like the Russians of today, choose to remain in chains rather than again take up the burden of thinking and acting as freemen and women.

There is an old saying that may apply to Obamacare and Obamanomics: "The best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it strictly."

Want a peek at why The United States Congress is such a giant sucking SNAFU? Take a look at the Wall Street Journal Online article, of January 14, 2009, entitled "Geithner´s Tax History Muddles Confirmation." Here´s what one of the GOP "stalwarts" had to offer during the confirmation hearings......."I still support him, said Senator Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) as he emerged from the meeting. ´He´s a very competent guy."

Good news, I feel better now. s/o

I thought he was decapitated in the movie Ghost.

Well why not? After all he´s done such a good job so far.

s/off

He wants to be at the wheel when we go over the cliff.

#1 took the words right off my keyboard!

Always good to have a tax cheat in high office in case you need some help with your returns. What, little Timmy Geitner did not make enough millions yet to support himself during the Obama reign?

Turbo Tim has more work to do.
The destruction is not yet complete.

I personally do not like Mr Geithner in his job as Treasury Secretary. I believe that he just answers to the Administration. But I do not feel that he should be labeled a tax cheat.In his previous job he was in a unique position as being employed in a multi-Country
situation. It is entirely possibly that as he stated he filed his own taxes using a computer program that was not programmed to apply to his situation. He has repaid his shortage. Why are you folks still calling him a ´cheat´, which implies he knowingly underpaid. My taxes are done entirely by a
CPA. I just provide the data. If there is a mistake, I definitely would never know about it until the IRS rapped on my door, so to speak. I have no connection with Mr G. but I don´t consider him a tax cheat, just another of Obama´s flunkies, which is bad enough. I am sure the man can earn a higher salary outside Government and so he must be staying
in place because he believes that he is an asset to the USA. Most of us do not think so, but that is beside the point.

Ever notice the Dear Leader never fires anyone for incompetence. He probably encourages it.

send post apologies, but, #12, here is the truth about geithner.
He was head of the NY federal reserve, but was also hired as a consultant by either the world bank or the IMF. And that consulting employer paid timmy his consulting fees, and in addition, as was their practice, they added supplemental money so he could pay his federal taxes. (common practice in such organizations.)
When the IRS caught up with him, timmy told them to go to hell, that the statute of limitations had run on most of the taxes due, and they could charge him with fraud if they wanted to, which would have set aside the statute of limitations. The IRS didn´t charge him with fraud.
But it was only when he was being nominated by president zero for Treasury that he paid back taxes and penalties.
His excuse, updated if you will, was that his Turbotax should have picked up the consulting money. But international organizations don´t do withholding, or W-9 forms - that´s why they add money to the fees to pay the taxes.
He is a first class creep. And his daddy worked at Ford Foundation, by the way, and supervised --- President Zero´s mother!

Clever Geithner figures that while the economy stays in the same flat and sinking mode, he´ll stay. As soon as it kicks in with the pent up roaring inflation caused by him and Bernanke, he´ll be gone in a second. And so will Bernanke.

Oh boy more QE...keep those money presses running and soon we will look like Brazil of the 1970´s!!! Hyperinflation...

Timmy should have earned his merit badge for alchemy by now!

Geithner, the tax cheat, is staying on to screw the real taxpayers. Isn´t that just so precious.
