"Does the Government and Tim Geithner Really Get It?" I'm sure many of us ask ourselves this question on a pretty regular basis. Tim Geithner's name could easily be interchanged with many others, Greenspan, the presidents, the senators and congressman. What is really scary that in spite all their degrees and accolades they all seem to lack common sense. What we need is something to be fixed for real... so we all could enjoy peace of mind once more. Gee, wouldn't that be nice? It is sobering to think of the phrase, "Physician heal thyself," and then watch this video! Pretty scary? You bet!
Anyway, I just had to share this video I saw online. I really got a few laughs from it, but it also made me think. Let me know your thoughts on this. I would love to hear them. If there is one thing that will turn this economy around, it will be confidence. Obviously Tim is no different than any other person when it comes to his own home and investment.

Absolutely hysterical ! I'm still laughing. Thanks for the Monday pick me up
That is TOO funny...thanks for the chuckle.
As for the question as to whether or not he and others lack common sense, oh, how I wish it were that simple. No, they don't lack sense or intelligence or anything else. They know EXACTLY what they are doing and that is what I find so frightening. When you wrap your mind around that possibility, it takes you off in an entirely new direction, doesn't it?

Absolutely hysterical, it really puts it into perspective.
Love it! Love it! Love it! Good laugh for a dreary Monday. I'd laugh more......if it wasn't so scary.
What a great Monday break! (And no, they don't get it!)
Claude Cross-Charlotte NC Real Estate(Homes By Cross, Inc.) I thought it was hilarious, and very well done.
Susan Haughton Alexandria, VA REALTOR® www.susanmovesyou.com (Long & Foster REALTORS® Old Town Alexandria) When I wrote this I did not think of that angle, but now that you mentioned it...yep it is kind of very scary!
Heather Adkinson Moses Lake Real Estate Agent (Windermere K-2 Realty LLC www.propertiesinmoseslake.com) It does make you stop and think.
Joan Snodgrass Tri-Lakes Realtors, Shell Knob, MO (Tri- Lakes REALTORS) I thought this was very well put together and yes even the questions during the interview were appropriately asked.
Bill Morris I am glad you enjoyed it. I agree....the Irish used to have a saying, "Clueless!"
Too funny!!! However, he must have had a great Realtor who was able to get the place rented out for about $7,500 per month. I'm sure he can more than make up the loss with the $435,000 severance package he got from The NY Federal Reserve.
Jim:
That was great. How could he be so wrong and be right now.
I love the Daily show, my sons got me into it. College kids use it for there current news events. The humor is a stretch, but there is always some basis.

Jim A Treasury Secretary that can't use Turbo Tax has lots of problems - practicality may be the main one
Greg Saunders (RE/MAX Around Atlanta) I am sure the renter is John Q. Public Tarp Funds. $7500 a month for that home? Wow!
Richard Stabile Bergen County New Homes Builder Realtor (REMAX real estate associates) I really never watched the show, but I may have to start. It was a hoot!

Jim-
Tim G. is part of the very group that we owe this mess to. Obama may have some good ideas, hs Sec. of Treasury was not one of them.
Thx for the post.
