Judgment Day for Geithner
By Mike Whitney
Insolvent financial institutions have to be taken into receivership and
liquidated. Shareholders and bondholders will have to take a haircut. And
Geithner, Summers and the rest of the White House banking fraternity will
have to resign or be fired. Obama should mull over Albert Einstein's sage
advice when he said, "The problems we face today cannot be solved by the
minds that created them."

America Is in Need of a Moral Bailout
By Chris Hedges
In decaying societies, politics become theater. The elite, who have hollowed
out the democratic system to serve the corporate state, rule through image
and presentation. They express indignation at AIG bonuses and empathy with a
working class they have spent the last few decades disenfranchising, and
make promises to desperate families that they know will never be fulfilled.

The Lobby Falters
By John Mearsheimer
When pro-Israel forces clashed with a major political figure in the past,
that person usually backed off. Jimmy Carter, who was smeared by the lobby

Rescue Plan, With Some Fine Print, Dazzles Wall Street: This time
President Obama directed some of the stagecraft.
This time Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner fleshed out the substance
of their long-anticipated program to remove banks' toxic assets and revive

the embattled Mr. Geithner a critically needed boost.

Geithner, Obama Kowtowing to "Massively Corrupted" Banks, Galbraith
Says:
Like it or not, many people seem to be resigned to the idea there's no
alternative to the public-private investment fund scheme Treasury Secretary
Geithner detailed this morning. That's hogwash, says University of Texas
professor James Galbraith, author of The Predator State. Of course there's
an alternative: FDIC receivership of insolvent banks.
