However, Geithner has always bothered me in so much as he is a handoff from the very system that brought us our present economic tsunami.

And that Obama somehow chose him over other viable candidates seems to put weight into the suggestion that our 'profit driven' banking system comes prepackaged for the position.


If you look at the string of Secretary of Treasury picks in the White House, they are typically heads of the 'Federal Reserve Bank'.

Now consider that the Federal Reserve is pretty much in control of all other banks and lending institutions - even though it's a privately owned bank.

From this point of view, it would appear that the Federal Reserve has an unchallenged upper hand in our government.

Or more precisely, our government ANSWERS to a privately owned bank.
