9. Good thing we got some repubs to vote with us. We sure can't count on the DINO's. nm

10. Not sure we should be celebrating...

Geithner is tax cheat and shill for Goldman Sachs.

Sorry, but this guy is just as bad as that criminal Paulson.

I cant believe there isnt a Wall St crony who could be Sec of Treasury. This guy is another Keynesian, "debt is production" Ray-gun ite.
