I watched Tim Geithner's testimony to congress yesterday and decided that I don't like him. anyone who was capable of being so willfully dishonest has no business in a position of authority. I don't mean his taxes ... I know he lied about that. And I always figured that if he were an honest guy he would be out here earning a living in the private sector like all the other honest people.
No I mean his testimony about the budget. It was as shameful a misrepresentation of the facts as I've ever seen. and it wasn't a situation where it was subject to interpretation, or where he was simply mistaken about the facts. He knew the facts, he knew what they meant, and he intentionally went out of his way to misrepresent them. It really was a new height in government misrepresentation. I've never seen anything like it.
That was ... until this:
This article set a new high water mark for self destructive liberal rationalization. Steve Perlstein is convinced that the government running up huge debts and bringing our country to the point of economic collapse is actually a good thing for our children because it will prevent them from running up their credit card debt. To call him a dumbass would be a horrible injustice to the American dumbass society. He may very well be the dumbest man in America.
On a slightly smarter note, I haven't been writing much because my professional schedule has once again crowded out my blog. But this time it's done so because I'm having what will probably turn out to be one of the best years of my life. Thanks to Team Obama doing virtually everything dead wrong in exactly the way everyone thought they would, both my personal assets and the assets I manage professionally are both growing very nicely. And when the US government has collapsed and I'm rich enough to run my own little fiefdom, I'm going to make Steven Perlstein work cleaning the stables. It will involve less bullshit than the work he's involved in now.
