(32,324 posts)But I am totally clear on who it was that put Geithner in his position as Secretary of Treasury, re-appointed Ben Bernake, stuck Monsanto clones into every single agency and higher position over the food source and GM issue, and appointed a Catfood Commission that has me stockpiling catfood.
It's the fifteen trillions of dollars in give aways by Bernanke and enabled by Lil Timmy that are putting us on the road to austerity, with the Big Banks lining up to claim gobs and gobs of more Bailouts even as I type this. Obama said in 2008 "There's nothing we can do to avert Economic Calamity but give in and do Bailouts," and he'll do that again, as he works for Geithner and Bernanke and not the other way around.
I also understand what it means that Obama let over 500 billions of dollars in cuts be handled by making those cuts apply to the providers of MediCare services (Big hint - if providers, who haven't been paid all that well for twenty years, have to take any more hits, there won't be any more providers.) This provision was hidden away in the 2,300 plus pages of the Affordable Health Care Reform Act, 2009. (There was this really bright guy running for President back in 2008 who said he would see to it to make all Acts of Congress transparent and readable - no more lengthy bills. But he disappeared somewhere along the line.)
