Geithner, a budding clone clipped from the very same bipartisan-branched tree of deregulation-obsessed "financial geniuses" who purposefully delivered the grim flood now rising around your ankles (waist if you've already lost your job, neck if your home), gets the job because he can be counted on to deliver.

Deliver what, pray tell?

The continuing expansion of power into the non-transparent, unconstitutional, independent, unelected hands of the privately-owned Federal Reserve and the multi-national banking insiders whose interests they serve.

Time for the boys at the top to buy up all the real assets for pennies on the dollar--with your money, suckers.

Call it consolidation, looting-style. Sorry, consumers. Competition is a drag.

Nine trillion has already gone out the door and Bloomberg news with their lawsuit still can't find out where. Congress certainly has no clue. They just beg the Goldman Sachs folks in charge to play nice and please, please, please, lend some to regular folks. Please?

Hmmm. And you wonder who's in charge?

You know what they say. The more things "change," the more they stay the same.

But on the positive side, just think how much easier it's going to be to recruit IED fodder for the permanent occupation of Afghanistan?

Why, in secret trillion dollar times like these, $3 billion-plus just for the military bases and airfields under construction is but a drop in the fuck-it bucket.

And with a Raytheon lobbyist ethics-waived right into number two at Defense, you can bet the real "change" is just beginning...
