I like Geithner's ideas on stimulating the economy - don't pay taxes for awhile.

I've decided that I do not have to support a party. The Dems are nuts. Liberalism has become the defending of the indefensible, and the refusal to defend the indispensable. And, too many Republicans are no longer conservative. I see no reason to cling to Republican politicians who threw conservatism out the window. Thomas Jefferson predicted our dilemma when he forecast that America will need a second revolution. uw

Why Geithner and Holder don't deserve confirmation per Alexander Hamilton - unfit character: "To what purpose then require the co-operation of the Senate? I answer, that the necessity of their concurrence would have a powerful, though, in general, a silent operation. It would be an excellent check upon a spirit of favoritism in the President, and would tend greatly to prevent the appointment of unfit characters from State prejudice, from family connection, from personal attachment, or from a view to popularity. In addition to this, it would be an efficacious source of stability in the administration." federalistpapers.com Both have shown they possess unfit characters. Geithner by cheating on his taxes; Holder by being a rubber stamp for the Marc Rich and PR terrorists pardons.
