No, I'm quite sure that this time those who publicly can neither identify the problem, much less any solution (Geithner, Summers, Pres. Obama, Bernanke, et al.), will surely get it right now, unlike former Goldman Sachs president and Treasury Secretary (but I repeat myself) Hank Paulson, Pres. Bush, oh and Bernanke who didn't see the last one coming and had no clue how to fix that one. Here's a thought . . . maybe the federal government should make family farmers have to have CDLs to operate farm equipment, maybe the EPA could add another $180 Billion to the cost of producing energy to run the economy to produce jobs, maybe the EPA could declare any raindrop to be navigable waters (and not just 12-inch wide rivulets in the middle of the desert) to be navigable waters and regulate everything about every parcels of private property in America, maybe they can institute a complete federal zoning and planning regime an disallow any factories or employment in any red state like they are doing to South Carolina and Boeing, maybe they can give more automatic weapons to more unsavory types and put up a neon welcome sign at all ports of entry to the US as that might create some new law enforcement positions and more jobs for the company that makes the bean bag shooters that our border agents must use while they are getting killed by the very automatic weapons the federal government gave to the thugs, oh and lets do another "stimulus" program to pay for this next brilliant 6-foot deep shovel ready government experiment. Maybe DC can only pay for 37% of the metastasizing government instead of currently being so generous and prudent as to pay for a whole, whopping 57% of the government shadow it casts like a putrid pall over the nation so that our children can pay for 100% of their government plus 63% of the government we refuse to pay for, plus interest, now at a much higher rate, because they are obviously going to be so much smarter and so much more productive they we have been because they have been raised in federal government controlled schools where even the bake sales are controlled by DC. Maybe Washington can increase the cost for business to comply with its innumerable regulations, many of which carry criminal penalties with absolutely no intent element to the crime (Stalin: "show me the man and I'll show you the crime"), from a mere $1.752 Trillion in 2008 to $5 or $6, or $10 Trillion by 2014.
That will certainly create regulatory jobs to kill and bury any American industry or initiative that might be left trying to labor out from under the tax, debt, deficit, regulatory and uncertainly rocks that DC has piled on already. But, really, there no need to take the harsh step of firing Turbo Tax Tim Geithner and those he rode in on now.
