It seems like your Presidents pick to be the dollar czar isn't fairing
well from either side of the isle. Throwing billions to Wall Street
and little to Main Street isn't making him a very popular man.

that's true. it's because he's not as accomplished a liar as the GOP
is. the GOP would have sold this as a tax cut for the free market, and
explained that's why the middle class had to pay for it

and the goons, fueled by rush limbaugh, would have fallen in line

I couldn't say he is an accomplished liar or not, but he holds an
office eat in Washington D.C, and so now he's qulified.

However, it appears he isn't concerned for how many dollars in taxes
you will pay, for he pays none himself. To you Bob, that is the
"republican way." To pay no taxes and lay the burden of debt on the
American cheque payer. Now does he have the qualifications to be a
republican?

Like most "Czars" I'm trying to figure out what the guy actually does.

I believe he's the Secretary of the Treasury, but don't let me stand it the
way of a right wing rant on czars.

Stand in ( I take it you meant 'in' instead of 'it') the way of what
rant ? I know what his official title is, but I'm wondering what he's
actually doing for everyones benefit. It looks to me like he isn't
getting supported well by some democrats as well as some republicans.

Thats all.

I'd bet that an overwhelming majority of Americans from all sides of the
political fence have no idea of what any of the cabinet officers do.

I wouldn't have coughed up a dollar to help out the shareholder/owners
of the big banks and financial services companies and those of their
employees who get huge bonuses. But I would have helped community banks
and credit unions to the greatest extend possible, and mandated a 50% or
more cutback in the amount of paperwork and levels of approvals needed
for SBA loans.

One of my clients is in the financial services industry. It's a small
company, handling less than $10 billion in assets. It has been
profitable since its inception. No one there, including the CEO, is
pulling down an extraordinary salary, and the bonuses are small, too.
Maybe it is because personal greed is not an attribute the company seeks
in its employees.

Reply: Yes, stand in :-)

I believe he's doing the best he can with the hand he was dealt. He's got
the support of the President, which for the time being is what he needs.
It's an interesting measure when both sides aren't truly happy with
someone's performance.

the biggest spender in US history: bush.

he cut taxes for the rich, cut no taxes for the middle class then
handed the check to the middle class

that's the republican way
