No matter what your opinion of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, given the reported staff shortages at Treasury and the myriad of issues on his plate, it's hard not to have some sympathy for the hand he has been dealt. To make matters worse, just when it looked like things were starting to level off for him, the Wall Street Journal reports that Frank Brosens, who was the leading candidate to run the $700 billion TARP, has withdrawn his name from consideration.
While the official reason for his withdrawal from consideration was due to 'personal reasons', given that Mr. Brosens was a partner at Goldman Sachs for 15 years, we wonder if Administration officials are starting to notice the growing sentiment among some in the public that it seems like working at Goldman Sachs is a prerequisite to work in Treasury or the Fed.
I imagine we can look forward to 60 Minutes doing a puff piece with Geithner next.
They want the public to mistake strategy for incompetence. None of this is accidental. It has been planned for years. This crash was engineered and won’t end until a new global banking monopoly is in place.
