I needed a Geithner gif.. thx

[gmth]

Everything I've read about this plan is negative. I really hope Geithner and Obama are listening to these criticisms.

m2 but unfortunately they've dismissed a lot of it as liberal talk, saying nationalization "doesn't make sense" for American culture, etc. Which is so stupid considering that even Alan Greenspan is saying it's probably a good idea to nationalize now. :/

This article is by Krugman and it is why this ultra-geeky dude made this music video asking for Krugman to just become Sec'y of the Treasury:

It'shorriblemusically but I understand the sentiment behind it.

Peter MacNicol is Tim Geithner in, "The Geithner Story!"

[schmiss]

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING

[schmiss]

also, how much do I love that I had a Peter MacNicol icon for that moment.

[layweed]

I never noticed until now how much Peter MacNicol resembles Geithner, or vice versa! Geithner's ears are also freakishly pointy.

I'm totally with him on this one. It's the first Obama policy that's truly disappointed me. It's a policy that even the Bush administration (remember those guys who think socialism is insurance subsidies for poor children?) acknowledged is a recipe for epic fail. We're going to have to nationalize them eventually, and now we're going to have to pay for all their shitty business decisions ON TOP OF the mountain of money it'll cost to nationalize.

I don't know what the fuck they're smoking up there, but they need to open the windows because it's obviously turning into a hotbox up there.
