In reply to the discussion: Pete Peterson bankrolled debunked austerity study, could make billions off safety net privatization [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)22. May I remind everyone that Pete Peterson headed the committee that picked Timothy
Geithner to head the NY Fed. Geithner should have blown the whistle on the Wall Street fraud. He didn't. Our economy tanked, thanks in part to Timothy Geithner's either incompetence or dishonesty.
Never mind. Obama forgave the Geithner and appointed him to head the Treasury Department.
Guess who was in charge of managing the Social Security Trust fund during Obama's first four years as president?
Yes. Timothy Geithner. Managing the Social Security Trust fund is part of the job of the Secretary of the Treasury.
A wicked net has been woven.

is there any idea too stupid or destructive that our politicians won't enact if the price is right?
