Inspiring Confidence


This is the new Treasury Secretary, Tim Geinther. Under our present economic circumstances, it really does my old heart good to have our fate in the hands of so capable a man. Doesn't this face inspire confidence? I'm sure that he's just a bit tired, not suffering from depression or any anxiety related to the execution such an important job in the face of the worst set of circumstances the country has faced in a generation. Have I mentioned, that this is the guy who endorsed Paulson's forcing Lehman into bankruptcy? A really brilliant move. By the way Tim, what was your reasoning? Oh, that's right, it was against the rules for the Fed to help Lehman, but not AIG, Morgan Stanley and Goldman (Paulson's former firm).
