Geithner Gets a Taste of the Peasants' Anger
By Ruth Conniff, March 27, 2009


It was priceless watching Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s stunned expression as he listened to questions from Representative Maxine Waters, Democrat of California, about his ties to Goldman Sachs.

Waters wanted to get at the “linkages and the connections among a small group of Wall Street types who are making decisions,” she explained. To that end, she asked Geithner, was it possible that Goldman Sachs could have been chosen to help run the new Public Private Investment Program?

Yes, he allowed, it was possible.

And did Goldman Sachs receive money from failed insurance giant AIG?

Yes.

And did Goldman Sachs get a piece of the government’s TARP program?

Yes. ...........(more)
