Obama: Drastic Times Require Drastic Measures: Fire Geithner

Drastic Times, Drastic Measures Fire Geithner It is no surprise that Wall Street is recovering, since the US taxpayer has shelled out trillions of dollars to save the financiers who brought our economy to its knees. The rest of us are still waiting for the economy to turn around. Considering the challenges that face us, it will be quite a long wait, unless the President takes some drastic steps to alter our course. Any number of things could have been done to stimulate our economy, but under the advice of Timothy Geithner, Robert Rubin, and Larry Summers, President Obama chose to throw our eggs into the Wall Street basket. In a not so stunning turn around, the rich are once again getting rich while the rest of us are losing our homes, jobs, health coverage, life savings, and retirement benefits--everything we've worked for our entire lives. Drastic times call for drastic measures. In order to right the ship of state, President Obama should hire new financial advisors whose main concern is creating a working economy for all Americans, rather than padding the pockets of their former employers. It's time to fire Geithner, Summers, and Rubin. We encourage you to use your own words to alter the title and text at this link.
