I almost fell off my treadmill yesterday watching a discussion on Fox, where Andrea Tantaros mentioned rumors that Jon Corzine's name was in the rumor mill as being the successor to Rachel Maddow look-a-like Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary.
Treasury Secretary, be jeezuz!!
Can you imagine the headlines three years from now?
"X-Tra! X-tra! Read all about it!"
"Treasury Secretary Jon Corzine announced his resignation this morning in the wake of the Treasury Department's announcement that it is bankrupt and cannot account for its holdings of some 45 trillion dollars."
We have heard about "The Perfect Storm". This rumored Corzine appointment would be the perfect "Cloward and Piven Strategy". Obama and Bill Clinton would be proud.

Not any more. As a more cogent writer observed, pending criminal charges do not provide a resume for the position of Treasury Secretary.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Corzine is one of those Democrats who are bemoaning Obama's attitude toward Wall Street.
Squid, you EITHER know nothing about Coward and Pipsqueak, OR you know nothing about Jon Corzine. This is rather like comparing Andrew Carnegie to Jacob Coxey. Coxey was a better mand than Cloward, but best analogy I can do on short notice.
Siarlys,
ReplyDeleteWhat part about the destruction of the economy that you do not understand? Cloward and Piven strategies are the creation of government programs that produce massive entitlements, which bankrupt the economic system. Both Cloward and Piven preached this crap at Columbia U. to the future leftists of the world. This is the same University that Obama attended.
Now, Corzine has shown us that he can loose 600 million dollars, similar to Solyndra's magical 500+ million dollar vanishing act. See the similarity? Now put Corzine in the position and we have the magical disappearing act of our tax dollars and economic crisis, ala Cloward and Piven.
Hope this concrete enlightenment helps you see the light Siarlys
We could then actually prove that there is a crook running the Treasury.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, according to the NYTimes. Corzine resigned as CEO of MF Global Holdings this last week and some $600 million is missing now.
ReplyDeleteThe proverb is, "When thieves fall out, thefts are discovered."
Another one for you, Squid, "There is no greater waste of time than arguing or even reading anything written by an idiot on the internet."
.
Squid, you may be casting your twisted thoughts in concrete, but they do not illuminate much of anything.
ReplyDeletePipsqueak and Coward are best known for proposing outlandish social welfare strategies in which thousands of chronically unemployable people will charge the barricades in search of massive welfare payments (while the authors remain in their comfortable suburban digs), but they have never advocated investing billions of dollars in financial markets, because neither they nor their erstwhile clients (who never signed on to this fantasy) had such money to invest.
Corzine lost his own investors money, not government guaranteed loan money.
Solyndra got a loan for business purposes, however ill-thought-out or badly administered.
Pipsqueak and Coward advocated massive free money from government sources, not to be invested, but simply for maintenance of a population that could not or would not work. They weren't very clear on the distinction.
If you can't tell the difference, you are no advocate of free enterprise.
