Where are the prosecutions?

You calling for Geithner to resign or to be prosecuted?

Legacy and entitlement still live on even in AIG. Wacko extremists would howl if we prosecute the problem. Legacy and attitude continues. It even explains extremist attacks on Geithner.

Their power comes from promoting entitlement and a legacy agenda.

AIG knows they deserve bonuses because work by those executives four years ago have created today's spread sheets. Does the wacko extremist propaganda machine ignore these AIG bonuses? After all, they know Obama is evil and Geithner is to blame.

Were they right?

Its not unusual to read tw posting about wacko extremist's. But it is when tw is referring to the D's as wacko extremists. Kinda refreshing actually.

This is about classicman's left-right dichotomy. Geithner is not an issue. Extremism, mockery, and constant attacks on leaders dealing with unwinnable problems are the problem. Constant destructive attacks from classicman. We have the economy that he wanted. So he must blame others.

Even his Engdahl citation required classicman to dig deep. Editing what Engdahl says to promote wackos extremist attacks. classicman has even distorted Engdahl's comments - as any good political extremist would do. Geithner is not the issue. classicman is.

World bankers may drop the dollar as a world standard because the dollar must again drop in value significantly. More inevitable economic damage directly traceable to a previous wacko extremist government. Will classicman blame Geithner? Of course. Dispose of that left-right dichotomy to post honest facts? He will not. A dropping American dollar and a coming reduction of the American living standards are directly traceable to George Jr. That is obvious; but not to extremists.

Geithner admitted to one mistake. So classicman now wants him tortured. How right wing extremist of him.

So where was classicman when AIG was suspicious if not a threatening problem? While classicman was taking cheap shots, tw was openly suspicious of AIG even in 2005 and 2006:
Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

So classicman now wants to blame Geithner with more cheap shots from his left-right dichotomy.

No it is not - Its about responsibility.

Should classicman blame Geithner? Of course.

From your link which is a typical 1000+ word rant about everything and anything there is an obscure reference to AIG as copied below:

“tw said subverts SEC investigations of numerous companies such as Enron, AIG, Waste Management, those who intentionally created a CA energy crisis)”

So classicman now wants to blame Geithner.

Seems like more personal attacks on a poster than an actual response.
With all the crap you keep throwing out there I was sure that you would have had something better than that.

The diversionary tactics don’t play here anymore. Geithner, Dodd, Frank... did this. Not the evil R’s.
So again does tw want to hold Geithner responsible or would he rather attack a poster.
The answer is painfully obvious.

Consider the source.

[lookout123]

I love it when nutters refer to themselves in the third person.

[classicman]

And refuse to hold both parties to the same standard,

and refuse to answer the question,

and just go off on tangents to change the subject,

and keep posting the same ole dribble year after year...

And now this lovely little man makes billions off of others misfortune. How special. Wonder what he had to do with us getting in this mess in the first place.

'I'm having a very good crisis,' says Soros as hedge fund managers make billions off recession

A hedge fund manager who predicted the global credit crunch has said the financial crisis has been 'stimulating' and the culmination of his life's work.
George Soros, who predicted the global financial crisis twice before, was one of the few people to anticipate and prepare for the current economic collapse.
Mr Soros said his prediction meant he was better able to brace his Quantum investment fund against the gloabal storm.

But other investors failed to take notice of his prediction and his decision to come out of retirement in 2007 to manage the fund made him $US2.9 billion.
And while the financial crisis continued to deepen across the globe, the 78-year-old still managed to make $1.1 billion last year.
'It is, in a way, the culminating point of my life’s work,' he told national newspaper The Australian.

Soros is one of 25, top hedge fund managers from across Wall Street who have defied the credit crunch crisis to reap a total of $11.6billion (£7.9bn) last year.

I think hedge funds should be illegal. And short selling. And a lot of other things that have been done over the past 10 years.

There are some people who predicted this back in 1999, when Glass-Steagal was repealed.

[classicman]

really? Who did that?

[sugarpop]

Senator Byron Dorgan predicted the recession back in 99...

So did Paul Krugman, in The Return of Depression Economics.

[Undertoad]

I predict a recovery.

[sugarpop]

He predicted it would happen in 10 years, and that is exactly when it did happen.

[Undertoad]

On which page.

Go listen to the interview. I provided a link.

Mate, if we stop that kind of behaviour, we'd lose 85% of the cellar posts!
