Geithner is a Republican
I'd be very surprised but I'm a registered Independent...so maybe
We know he's a tax cheat, a wall street guy and based on the story below he has a sense of humor
But here's another good example of why one must turn in their conservative card immediately if they think Geithners economic policies wouldn't make a Republican proud.![]()

Re: OMB director undercuts legal case for Obamacare
No, I didn't. I don't have the time right now. But it's been reported numerous times by various Whitehouse insiders that Geithner a.k.a. "Wall Streets guy in the Whitehouse" constantly turned away a more progressive economic approach at every turn. He's pushed for lower taxes and low regulation all along. It's no wonder either considering he was Larry Summers protege and worked for the Bush administration.CitadelGrad wrote:You didn't answer the question.kalm wrote:

Obama = centrist
Geithner = moderate republican

Re: OMB director undercuts legal case for Obamacare
I'm not a conk. I'm a libertarian/Libertarian.
Obama is hardly a centrist. He's a collectivist.
Larry Summers worked in the Clinton administration, along with Bob Rubin.

Obama is a centrist who has kept taxes low and favors financial monoplies.
The Clinton administration, especially Summers and Rubin, was all about the deregulation and top down economics.

He hasn't kept taxes low at all. He is pursuing or has already implemented a variety of income, administrative and consumption taxes.kalm wrote:I apologize for calling you a conk I should no better.CitadelGrad wrote:I'm not a conk. I'm a libertarian/Libertarian.

Re: OMB director undercuts legal case for Obamacare
I stand corrected. He has back doored taxes on smokes, healthcare, and proposed raising taxes on investment almost all of which haven't taken affect yet so on second thought he has kept taxes low so far. Kind of reminiscent of Reagan who everyone remembers as a low tax limited government guy who spent and raised taxes 11 times while in office.CitadelGrad wrote:He hasn't kept taxes low at all.
