Real Crash- Looking at Capitalism and its Laws:
Rolllin' Stones- Tumblin' Dice
Who needs internet gambling, and Atlantic City Trump Casino, when you have Treas. Sec. Geithner. Or as Geithner could sing "you got to roll me." After all the biggest gambling casino is the british-style financial system. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, in an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, shamelessly lied about the economic collapse and the administration's polices which are actually designed to bail the monetary system out. His biggest lie was that the banking system is "dramatically more stable" because of the government bailouts. Just two days after the FDIC seized nine more banks, bringing the total for the year to 115, Geithner declared that there has been a "dramatic improvement in confidence" now that "you've had private capital come back into the system." His major complaint was that banks are too timid. "The big risk we face now is that banks are going to over-correct and not take enough risk," he said. "We need them to take a chance once again on the American economy. That's going to be important to recovery."
Let's try to sing (spoof) Rollin' Stones, Tumblin Dice
Now I work for Obama, drama;
Ben Bernancke's partner in crime;
Bail out the big boys,
let everything crash and die;
Rumors of Russia and China building;
They don't faze me, once or twice;
British, I love, Empire;
You got to rooooollll me,
and call me the Tumblin' Dice.
