Boehner To Geithner's Face: "You Can Not Be Serious!"

'We're nowhere.  Absolutely nowhere.'

"I was just flabbergasted.  I looked at Geithner and said 'You can’t be serious.'  I’ve just never seen anything like it."

"They wanted to extend unemployment benefits, they wanted a new stimulus program for infrastructure, they wanted to extend some other tax breaks.  And all of this new stimulus spending would literally be more than the spending cuts that he was willing to put on the table."

The rich will hold us hostage and we will all get screwed.

If you want to stop a criminal(simple enough), consider motive-opportuniy-alibi. Motive-restore Britannia, Opportunity-Neocon /City of London unity warranted training Geithner for this gig and using the CFRtv/AP propaganda machine for Geithner to ride in on Obama's coat-tails. Alibi- Geithner has yet to be cornered. His alibi was offered up when he was arrested last year as he begged to explain things. This request was denied and the cops threw him back into the street to get back to work for the financial elite.
There is no other reason to consider this Geithner wanker than to toss he and his bosses into prison. Boehner is a shill.

Boehner. for the House, and Reid,for the Senate,already know what they are going to do, why does Boehner pretend? Obama will go on his super expensive vacation, he no doubt calls it a holiday vacation and not a Christmas, knowing full well he doesn't have to concern himself further, the die is cast.

If these pieces of dog excrement want to drive over people and rob and ruin their lives, I suggest they go straight to prison and explain to the men who were incarcerated there in financial desperation that a 'New World Order' now allows 'Chinese fire drill' theft from conscientious investors followed by a serious bitch-slap to the other prisoners. The warden could declare 'timeout' for the guards for a few days and let nature take its course.

The fiscal cliff is just a big ruse and the sheeple will never figure it out because they are busy watching reality tv and taking antidepressants and viagra.

If the Fed can give bankers monopoly money, then why not taxpayers? Because bankers run the country and taxpayers are serfs.

Until we make use of the constitutional amendment our founding fathers put in place to deal with an out of control and tyrannical guberment, we'll get what cowards deserve and not piss and moan about it. If you think you can vote our way out of this or that the GOP will save you, you're as good as incarcerated already.
