This one is great and currently like #6. Make sure to digg this one up.


"Goldman Sachs is a large, profit seeking company which you were/are a part of.

Isn't it a conflict of interest to funnel tax dollars into this private company using your new power as Secretary of the Treasury, keeping in mind that you and your old buddies benefit monetarily?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't this a textbook example of political corruption?"

Thanks - vote up my question!

The future of the dollar looks very shaky - in a recent visit to China it was reported that the Chinese audience laughed at you when you tried to assure them that the dollar was sound. When you gave a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations you said you were "quite open" to the dollar being replaced as the world reserve currency. Benn Steil, the Director of International Economics at the CFR, wants a one world currency. Obama's economic adviser Paul Volcker has stated his support for a one world currency, and in an interview with Peter G. Peterson (shown in the documentary "Time Bomb"), Peterson stated that when he consulted with Volcker, it was clear that the dollar was headed towards a "hard landing". Robert Mundell, “the father of the euro,” has stated that a dollar crisis would open the door to a new world currency. Given all this, how can the fiat dollar possibly survive? Isn't it time for America to return to a hard currency, as required by the US Constitution?

At http://digg.com/dialogg/Timothy_Geithner_1?t=27719633#c27719633 I asked a question referring to when Rep. Michele Bachmann asked him about the Constitutional authority for his actions. He didn't answer the question then; maybe the people can get an answer now (although we already know the answer: there is no Constitutional authority for what he's been doing).

This is going to be a hilarious interview. Look at the top five questions as of right now. Two involve the audit of the Fed and two, perhaps three, involve implicit and/or explicit accusations of Sec. Geithner being corrupt.

LMFAO at the top questions:


Why has the federal reserve bank never been audited?

Goldman Sachs is a large, profit seeking company which you were/are a part of.

Isn't it a conflict of interest to funnel tax dollars into this private company using your new power as Secretary of the Treasury, keeping in mind that you and your old buddies benefit monetarily?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't this a textbook example of political corruption?

What is your position on Ron Paul's House Resolution 1207? (Which as of the writing of this question has 282 cosponsors.)
http://www.auditthefed.com/

You failed to pay some of your federal taxes in 2001. And in 2002. And in 2003. And in 2004. Please explain.

How do you feel about the revolving door between high job positions in the treasury and Goldman Sachs?

Ha Ha Ha! I bet he's going to cancel this little interview.

The same five questions are still up top. Less than two hours before time is up.

I wonder if Sec. Geithner bothered to read which questions were in the lead.

The voting closed. Look at the questions they are supposed to be asking them! LMAO:

* How do you feel about the revolving door between high job positions in the treasury and Goldman Sachs? (+581 diggs, submitted by keythb)
* Last week you requested that Congress raise the $12.1 trillion statutory debt limit, saying that it could be breached as early as mid-October. This is in addition to the increase already approved in February this year to accommodate the added debt from the $787 Billion stimulus plan. How is this anything other than runaway government spending? What will it take for us to see US debt go the other direction? (+520 diggs, submitted by bossm4n)
* Why is the government only supporting aging and increasingly obsolete car makers? You've given an extraordinary amount of money to GM, but the government has failed to encourage new, innovative, and cleaner forms of personal transportation such as produced by Tesla Motors. Why has TARP money not been invested in companies such as Tesla, and will the government support similar companies in the future? (+439 diggs, submitted by danielrh9)
* Are you, yourself, troubled by the massive amount of government spending? What do you think will happen to the dollar over the next 10 years? (+376 diggs, submitted by erikwithaknotac)
* You are a member of the Federal Reserve, a group that so thoroughly mismanaged our monetary policy that they helped create a massive housing bubble because of foolish loans and speculation enabled by low interest rates, and then you were involved in a horribly mismanaged bailout that hasn't freed up credit markets and can't even account for all the money it spent. Why are you running the Treasury Department? (+358 diggs, submitted by zwendkos)
* You've amended your tax returns for the years 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and found that you've owed an additional $31,536 (http://finance.senate.gov/press/Bpress/2009press/p ... Giving you the benefit of a doubt (that you are neither inept nor corrupt but were simply overwhelmed by an overly complex system), what recommendations do you have for simplifying the tax code?
