Cuba Gooding Should School Speaker Boehner on Dealing with Tim Geithner

By: pilgrim (Diary)  |  July 19th, 2011 at 04:19 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

If only Cuba Gooding could school Boehner and McConnell on what they should be asking of Treasury Secretary Geithner. I can add the stiffs like Britt Hume and Bret Baird of FNC to the mix of people Cuba Gooding could school. It saddens me that so many establishment people are taking Tim Geithner at his word about paying our federal debt. Why is it a secret how much money is in the US Treasury? I am not one who believes we have not already authorized more money to be paid out than we have, but how much more? What new spending can the US Congress refuse to authorize? There are no good reasons why this information can not be forthcoming from Geithner. The problem is that the government has refused to cut spending and live within the smaller revenues our high unemployment is generating. The money is on the sidelines and not being invested in job creation because there is so much fear and uncertainty about what the US government is doing. For over 800 days the US Senate has not passed a budget. For us to keep our Republic it is necessary for the US Senate as well as the US House to pass a budget that a US President signs. We need a moratorium from new job killing regulations being promulgated by all of the US programs and departments. If these things occur, then the certainty and confidence will return. Only then are the private sector investors going to start creating jobs.

    This seems fundamental to me, which persuades that the GOP leadership must not want the actual numbers to be public. It seems they prefer to accept a Geithner default date so they can get this over with. But FNC? They do FOIA requests all the time and break news. Are they incompetent?

    This is quite simple. Timmy, show us the following readily available info for July 20, 2011:

    Cash on hand
    minus Accounts payable thru Aug 1
    plus Expected revenues between now and Aug 1
    equals Expected balance for Aug 2 aka Armeggedon

    Then we will see if you have the funds to pay int on debt and Soc Sec for August. If not, then you and Obama will be arrested for embezzlement and the investigation will focus on what pacific islands you bought to hide at.

      Some of your recent posts about why no one in Congress or at FNC have requested information from Tim Geithner reminded me of this scene from Jerry McGuire. So here it is.

    Not only should the American people be apprised of how much money is in the Treasury, we should be able to go on a gov. website and see exactly what our hard earned tax dollars are being spent on. Of course, there would be a massive revolt if we actually saw some of the idiotic things our money is being spent on and what truly pathetic stewards of our money they are. So I not only want them to show me the money, I want them to show me where that money’s going. Then I’ll be able to determine if they really need to raise my damn taxes.

    want to voluntarily increase TEA Party membership? Print what you suggest and make it digestable to a layman, and Rick Santelli’s rant on CNBC will be as a thirty second cloudburst in a 3-day monsoon.
    If you are really interested in this, no doubt exploring with GOOGLE will get you what you want . But how many are really interested that much? and for how long? You and I are but we give a Dam- and lots are just trying to get by.
