Geithner, whose father was a friend of the Dunhams,gets a golden parachute after he has done the damage necessary to destroy America.

9/17/2008..............

Geither, give us the names of all the Banks who caused the electronic bank run on the Fed at that date. Reveal who actually caused the financial crisis and reveal to us what stays their hands today from repeating their destruction.

Does he get a severance package like a percentage of how much indebtedness he acquired for the USA? He must be an Olympic Gold Medalist that will retire very happy. The rest of us will be happy that he at last retires. I wonder if he will pay his taxes after he retires......

Geitner doesn’t pay taxes silly, nor does he have to, he’s one of the elites.
And he doesn’t have the same health care the regular people HAVE to get.
They are so much above us.

Do you think he will still be alive in say, ten years?

IMHO he knows way too much, too much about Soros and his league of evil Islamist banks, and socialists banks.

I wonder if he will last very long at all.

You couldn't have said it better.

He's taking a hike to retire in luxury and get away from the heat.

Obama is reelected by idiots and has four more years to finish his destruction.

None of this of course would have been possible without the cooperation of our esteemed Republican controlled House of Representatives, who hold the PIN number of the ATM machine. They could have turned off the spigot.
