Watch Geithner (Not) Answer House Price Questions Before The Congressional Oversight Panel
We are a little late on this one, but there is a hearing in progress in which Tim Geithner is answering various questions by the Congressional Overight Panel on what the impact of the foreclosure crisis will be on home prices. An amusing episode that just occurred was Geithner's unwillingness to answer the simple question of whether foreclosures will result in higher or lower home prices.

Hon. ?
They would have put 'SWEETIE', But it takes up too much space
Hon is the new term for tax evading Tim.
I think it's short for Ho Chi Minh
That 'Honorable' crap with all these crooks just makes me puke.
I second that. It should be "the despicable".
Yeah, i just about spit my coffee all over my keyboard when I saw that. we live in bizarro world.
@ coffee spittage
Lol and agreed. I cannot watch Geithner talk. Nor frankly Obama, as I couldn't listen to Bush either. The fact that they are all lying, all of the time, should be no surprise to anyone. They see lying as central to their work. BUT, the fact that so many people believe them...this I find difficult to bear.
Printing error. Should say Con.
Now it makes sense.
Tim brought it with him. Looks like a home-made job.
Oh man, Elves; they're such cheeky little cunts.
Henchman Of the 'Nank
It is always amazing congress goes to the source of the problem for the solution.
It boggles my mind how much these people talking about demand. Demand is infinite! We are 13 trillion in debt and these dickwads think there isn't enough demand?!?! Maybe we are bankrupt?
Theyre confused why those reduced to coolie wages arent snapping up a damn mortgage payment like mad.
Buuuuuuutttt Timmmyyyy! All us congress critters can afford houses ! Why can't the serfs?
Timmmaaaaaaaahh!
Timmah! Livin' a lie!

the parallels that the institution (south park elementary) thinks timmah just needs some drugs and the normal people (south park students) think it is obvious that he is retarded is amazing. you couldn't have a better analogy for congress relation to the america people and the country's current situation.
Honorable? This little weasel couldn't make it as a pimp. His whores would kill him. If they post a video of him dying screaming like a little girl I'll bust a gut watching it. I'd be nastier but it is a public forum.
That's the *honorable* Timmmmmaaaaaaaaaaahh !!
Welcome to the recovery everybody.
Never answers a goddamn question always evading and tooting his own horn. This guy can't do his own taxes and he is head of the treasury. Fucking unbelievable.
The doctors should have removed his brain instead of the kidney stone.
One and the same organ in this case
Tex, just love your avatar. Want to buy her a box of sweaters.
I was thinking more like a harmonica...
Denise Milani, lots of her photos on the web. She's a doll. And the jugs are real.
I googled her...what a pair of funbags!
I hope his kidney stones passed safely out of his asshole.
Little PRICK!
Fuck him and his Turbo Tax software.
The 'Hon.' is an abbreviation for Honest. And, in a world where black is white and white is black, they don't come more honest than Geithner.

Was it Phil Silvers? I've always liked that guy.
WHy FTSE futures plunged all of the sudden with no impact on any other index?
Software glitch in the empty market Skynet operating system?
I can't trade FTSE 100 futures either...
... oh, wait, it's back now. But yes, i did see the FTSE 100 drop approx. 40 points on the close.
Broken as hell this 'market' is, being held together with The Bernank's glue-like jizz.
Hiding 'Orrible Nasties Tax Cheat Timmay slinks and slimes
Double speak extraordinaire ! These motherfuckers make me sick. I have been in confernce in back room judges chambers where all the lawyers say " we are all honorable men hear" when someone suggest's they are lying in the court procedures and been threatened with contempt more than once? The entire system is a bad fucking joke and there are no honorable men at least not in power! The entire thing is all about money and power/control. Fuck em all. Let's start over tomorrow. Let the prosecutions/executions begin.
+1 Goober, hang 'em high!
I can't believe there isn't a Baliff or some other authority figure that can lean over and inform Timmah that if he doesn't answer the nice man's questions, he's going to Jail!
this guy is more of a weasel than the bernanke and thats saying something
He is a bankers gimp
Obama: Bring out the Gimp.
The Bernank: Gimp's sleeping.
Obama: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?
Timmeh, " You can't let large financial and auto industries fail in a major financial crisis. It would cost far too many jobs."
My question to Timmeh is, if financial institutions (major ones) are ready to fail, would that not necessitate a 'financial crisis'?
In other words, is it possible for major financial institutions to be insolvent and not be in a financial crisis?
He essentially admitted that the financial industry cannot be a free market. The panel completely let that one go...
Makes me want to cry... or kill, not sure which yet.
Cry, kill?? Yes!
I used to think these clowns perhaps were some sort of evil all knowing cabal. Now, it's pretty obvious they are a bunch of evil know nothings in a cabal.
Beavis look alike..
As always, nice work WB.
God bless us every one.
+1 to the comments above...
The "honorable?" He actually gets that title?
Are you $&@^ing kidding me?
It's just more proof that I do in fact live in The Matrix.
He's definately on the Naughty list
Oh shit Watters shoots one across the bow! I'll translate " Is our entire financial system held together by duct tape and bubble gum?" Timmmaaahh" Stress test..uh...err..well..yea, stress tests"
yea, evade much timmeh?
The redhead behind him is his fluffuer
Oddly enough.. I've noticed in areas that were hard hit with foreclosures and short sales during the big down turn... foreclosures tend to have the most bids and sell at the highest prices.
The banks are better at attracting a bidding war, getting the most out of the bidding process and selling an empty cleaned up home than people are with their crap in it.
Techno, maybe you are witnessing an aberration in a small geographic area...recent NAR info indicates that distressed sales are sold at prices averaging 30% below non-distressed inventory. Short sales have destroyed the market. Timmeh can't even figure out the reason why banks have slowed down foreclosures is because between actual inventory and shadow inventory, there is so much supply, that the market is continuing downward with respect to pricing. At this point foreclosing becomes self defeating for the banks as more homes are underwater with every incremental drop in price and more foreclosures further the cycle. It's actually getting to the point where lenders will start offering at least small principal reductions...its cheaper than waiting 2 or 3 years with no payments to foreclose on a house. BTW, Timmeh is only saying what he's saying to protect the banks...he doesn't know shit and ultimately they will all go down the tubes because of their stupidity ( why lie about something that is a lost cause unless you're too stupid to figure it out?)
Geithner helped save America from the brink... I am glad he wasn't fired.
The recovery is ubelivable. We have much to be thankful for this holiday season.
America is getting stronger again. I shouldn't have bought Gold/Silver for my family this Christmas... IT's COLLAPSING... VIOLENTLY!
Well, I agree with you in part: the recovery IS unbelievable.
I don't believe it at all. More to the point: we don't need to let our beliefs do the heavy lifting for us -- we can just look at facts. And my assessment of the facts say we are in the terminal state of a debt-financed prosperity bubble.
Ah... My nose has sniffed out a FED SHILL
babypoop ... go back to your dungheap and stick your head back in
I am convinced Toathis is the Ben Bernack... though maybe he is teh Timmeh... his posting did come after the hearing...
Again, Sarah? Is that You?
Timmay: What a Maroon!
HAH-AH-HAH-haha-hahaha-ha-ah-hah-ha...
What an Ultra Maroon...
Maroon: definition -- A term of derision often uttered by Bugs Bunny when referring to an interaction with a dopey adversary. It is a mispronunciation of the word "Moron."
Geithner helped cause the brink and Hank consumated the deal.
market is 80% off the lows. the "double-Dip" fear mongering was a total waste of time...CNBC was right! Warren Buffet was right!
I seriously did buy some silver for my folks this holiday... I thought you people were serious about your dooming... (no troll) (I am not lying)
So let me see if I understand -- you just listen to whatever goes through your ears (CNBC, and WB) or eyes (every anonymos posting on the internet) without any critical thought?
In that case, I have a book I'm selling that will tell you how you can lose weight, increase your income by 30%, and improve your gas mileage by 45% for the sacrificial price of $399. Paypal me the cash, I'll get your copy in the mail immediately.
And no, that dress does not make you look fat.
I think Chris Whalen and Janet Tavakali are pretty smart and righteous people...I think they see the future pretty well and it does not bode well for big banks.
.
It is your duty as a Fed Shill TO LIE... you stinking liar
the honorable gimp.
Faster than the wallpaper in moms basement where your typing from?
Would turbo Timmy make a good jail bitch?
Abso-fucking-loutely! Those aren't ears, they're handles.
heh heh, dishonorable zionist joo is more like it.
TOWARDS A CASHLESS SOCIETY
GEITHNER’S CALL FOR A GLOBAL REGULATORY BANKING SYSTEM
http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=331
80% off lows based on what? More lies and bogus reportings or simply QE in form # 8 or so? Get real! Which gov agency is paying you and how much per post ? Keep it up and it won't be long and some form of the IRA will show up in US ? People are quite fed up with the lies and double speak you and Timmy are spouting when they can clearly see reality is a very different story? Markets up certainly does NOT mean all is well, just a continution of the illusions. Your game is nearly up. All the facts tell a very different story than your denials, pump BS.
toathis
I seriously doubt it will continue
we had a new hindenberg omen yesterday
By the way, Buffet, is a poor example. Unless you are fine with more doublespeak. 3 strikes and your out cousin! You have about as much credibility as my cat, maybe less?
tamboo
very good
I have noticed that only Zionist Joos get voted as Times man of the year
aren't you worried about getting reported for talking like that? Just saying... they have laws on the books against Hate Speech. I respect your right to free speech, but just be careful, people can get in trouble!
wellllllll, with that out of the way I can sleep at night , you idiot.
timmay the ass and you latched onto his pole make the purfect team.
go to it.
That guy signs our money. If that isn't an indication of its true worth then I don't know what is. Egad.
Oh come on, guys. Turbo's honorable every year. From Jan 1 through April 14.
I wish you wouldn't put Timmay's picture up here. Every time I see it I want to puke and then my blood pressure spikes.
If it was a photo of his head on a stick....I bet that would calm you down...me too
Slvrizgold bitchez.
Timmay would make a good lampshade or candle imo.
Perhaps the "best" (astounding) quote from Geithner:
"The overall [bailout] costs will be incredibly small in comparison to almost any experience we can look at in the United States or around the world."
- Geithner told the Congressional Oversight Panel that the cost would be under $25 billion.
(quoted at Huffpost.)
This guy is a blustering, lying, corrupt shitbox...I now know why he is lying for his bankster buddies; he knows if the go to jail, he goes with them. I never thought I'd say this, Via la revolucion', baby! These guys have to be brought down. And people call Russia a Thugocracy...
