Hopefully Summers can stay awake long enough to deliver it.

It has the whiff of central planning to me. Or should I say it has the whiff of a steaming pile?

"The rebuilt American economy must be more export-oriented and less consumption-oriented, more environmentally oriented and less fossil-energy-oriented, more bio- and software-engineering-oriented and less financial-engineering-oriented, more middle-class-oriented and less oriented to income growth that disproportionately favors a very small share of the population."

Not even hiding that fact that they consider us all their slaves.

According to the excepts, he will say that the economy has made progress since the days when it looked like it was on the "brink of catastrophe."

Over 3 million people have lost their jobs. This is worse than the worst forecast from the White House. What do these people think we are smoking.

What do you think is going to happen with their holdings on Treasuries?

I think Hugo Chavez just said the same things.

It must be great fun to try and plan a state-run economy.

Gosplan or State Planning Committee (Russian: Госпла́н, Russian pronunciation: [ɡɐsˈplan]) was the committee responsible for economic planning in the Soviet Union. The word "Gosplan" is an ­abbreviation for Gosudarstvennyi Komitet po Planirovaniyu (Russian: Государственный комитет по планированию, State Committee for Planning).

Geitner will funnel money to another country to pretend to buy the debt to reassure the markets?

...and don’t forget Summers blew a billion dollar hole in Harvard’s endowment when he ran the place...and fired an auditor who discovered alums using the school as a false-front for tax dodges...
