You’re out of your element, Tim

On February 9, President Obama promised a clear and decisive plan to fix the economy from Treasury Secretary Geitner. The next day Secretary Geitner unveiled a plan to spend $1.5 trillion over the next few years, but had not the slightest idea as to how he was going to do it. The market tanked 4,57%. That’s what happens when you give some guy who doesn’t know how to do his taxes $1.5 trillion.

I wish someone would give me $1.5 trillion. My first step would be to buy everyone in the world a Coke. (or Pepsi, whatever...)

After that, I'd like to build the world a home, and furnish it with love. Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves...

That's a better plan than Geitner or Obama has.
