Remaking the Economy or Geithner's Image?
March 16, 2010A spate of profiles of Timothy Geithner hit the news recently, from Vogue to the Atlantic and several places in between. Most of them seem to sound an optimistic note on the Treasury Secretary and former chief of the New York Federal Reserve, but we ask a couple of experts what's really going on with the economy--and if Geithner deserves any of that praise.Max Blumenthal, Remaking Geithner and Checkpoints

July 20, 2009The public paid out. And we waited, and waited, while unemployment rose and wages sank. Where'd our money go? Of 360 banks that got money through the end of January -- Barofsky reports that 110 invested at least some of it on the stock market, 52 repaid bad debts they'd taken out, and 15 used our funds to buy up other banks. And that's not even counting the millions they spent lobbying against bankruptcy reform or credit card regulation.The F Word: Strangling the Vampire Squid
July 15, 2009there's very little of substance in the pipeline for vulnerable Americans. Look around, is there any meaningful plan in place to help a working family you know? Do people really believe that shoring up banks will improve their lives? Barack Obama is playing a treacherous game: what are all those political wizards in the West Wing thinking? That people will listen to pleas for patience, forever?Fighting Swine (Geithner) Flu
April 27, 2009We'll need more than a face mask to save us from a plague of killer economic policy.Katrina vanden Heuvel: Spitzer for Treasury?
March 30, 2009Katrina vanden Heuvel writing in The Nation: "Spitzer took on Wall Street's metastasizing corruption before the meltdown. He defended consumers' and taxpayers' rights. He speaks with passion and clarity about what went wrong and what needs to be done to restore integrity to our system. He is chastened by personal scandal, yet untouched by complicity in Wall Street's public scandals which have obliterated peoples' savings and devastated our country."Chris Hedges: Our Moral Collapse
March 25, 2009“Our moral collapse is as terrifying, and as dangerous, as our economic collapse,” Chris Hedges writes in his weekly column at Truth Dig. Obama doesn’t have much time left. If he continues to listen to Geithner, Summers et al. his presidency may be doomed.
