This is not some conspiracy theory that "they" have some detailed plot to take everything over but a recognition that the psyche of Wall St. and corporate finance has infiltrated the previous as well as the current administration. Additionally, as the facts show, all the supposed economic growth over the last 10 years was on Wall St. such that they have become the biggest economic force in this country. Collective greed inevitably throws its weight around and we are seeing that now. Geithner is a creature of this financial structure and as such he is completely blinded by what he knows. Obama has been good at getting a lot "experts" but in this case virtually all the experts are beholden to what got us in trouble in the first place. Volcker may be the only exception but he seems to have been effectively marginalized to the detriment of us all.We are all paying for the sins of Wall Street, yet, they are the ones who are given multiple seats at the table for fixing the crisis, when the crisis is a direct result of their mentality. I have no idea what kind of man Tim Geithner is, but I'm fairly certain his boss is a good man. It is up to us to put the pressure on President Obama and his administration to do the right thing and to dig us out of this situation. If we sit back and do nothing, then we get what we deserve.
The biggest oversight in all of this is the mantra that what is good for Wall St. is good for the country. This is highly delusional at this moment in time. Wall St. has and still is extorting trillions of taxpayer dollars and the government is an accomplice in the crime. I am making this point to illustrate just how pervasive and how much political power the collective psyche of Wall St. actually has.
