lonecat, I don’t trust Obama’s economic team either. The more that gets revealed about Geitner’s role , the more disturbed. I think it may be time for Geitner to go, and time to bring someone new in who does nor have such an incestuous history with Wall St. I’ve thought for a long time that Obama has relied too much on Clinton’s team (Rubin and Summers crafted the deregulation that occurred under Clinton). I’m very encouraged he’s brought in Paul Volker in a significant way. But I still hope the old Clintonites influence wanes quickly and significantly.
