In reply to Disillusioned. Usta be, when we enforced laws, that it was against the law for criminals to write a book that enabled them to profit on their crime(s.)

Me Geithner worked on both TARPS, under both Bush and Obama Administrations. From the TV interviews, his book seems to boil down to what Margaret Thatcher called the sad political TINA excuse, “There Is No Alternative.” In his case, no alternative to the TARPS.

Very interesting and enlightening article along with all of the comments. Since I can’t post a comment on that particular site I will just state it here. Matt Stoller should have revealed that he worked on the formation of the Dodd-Frank Act, which those of us in the industry know full well that is actually a means by which the banking cartel can capture more of the market by ‘weeding’ out the competition and take control. It is not meant to help the general public or to protect the ‘consumers’ as it is portrayed. How would you like it if the gov’t told you that you can’t make any more income than you are right now? How would you feel if you were a plumber, electrician,taxi driver or any other blue collar position worker or even a self-employed person and the gov’t tells you how much you can charge for your services or earnings? That’s exactly what the Dodd-Frank Act did. Essentially it is targeted to destroy ‘free enterprise’ and why? Because those in power are leading us all to slaughter to a system very very similar to Hitler. I am sure that Matt Stoller knows this better than anybody since he worked on this ridiculous Dodd-Frank Act that has conflicts within itself and purposely drafted to evade the truth to the American public.

Geithner was a ‘mole’ for the financial industry. As Obama always said, “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer” Geitner was the ‘inside’ man. The only consolation in this observation is that had the Republicans been in charge it would not only have not been better, it would have been devastatingly worse. But cheer up! Just look at all the agencies that are now reaping the benefits from the blatant fraud of the public, as now evident in massive “payola” settlements by B of A and others who are settling pennies on the dollar for having had the privilege of raping the public. The playeers laughed all the way to the ‘bank’ while creating the downfall of the middle class in income gap.
