Interesting that Timothy Geitner speaks Chinese fluently.... perhaps Soros and his Chinese wife had something to do with his appointment by the Jews.. --CSR
BTW, Robert H. Benmosche is currently head of AIG that scammed $100s of Billions...
Quote'The steps the government took to rescue AIG were motivated solely by what we believed to be in the best interests of the American people.'
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner
Lawmakers argue that Geithner and Paulson failed to obtain concessions for taxpayers and point to emails suggesting the New York Fed sought improperly to conceal that it had repaid AIG's counterparties in full with $62 billion in taxpayer funds.
The Federal Reserve's use of its extraordinary powers to assist AIG has angered many members of Congress of both political parties. Lately, lawmakers have expanded their criticism of the Obama administration's bailout efforts, which they contend resulted in expanded benefits to Wall Street at the expense of Main Street. Critics argue that the government's actions at AIG were in fact a 'back-door bailout' at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.
"The government gave Goldman Sachs more than it had any right to expect, but at the same time no financial relief was given to millions of Americans facing a foreclosure crisis," said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
Rep. Ed Towns, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform committee, said the bailout "creates an air of suspicion and distrust among the American people." He expressed concerns about the decision by the New York Fed to try to keep the names of derivative counterparties of AIG receiving taxpayer bailouts private. Under pressure from Congress, the names of derivative counterparties were eventually disclosed.
"The New York Fed argued that disclosing the names of the counterparties would somehow injure AIG," Towns said. "In fact, when the information was finally released under pressure from Congress, nothing happened...But it did have an effect on the credibility of the Federal Reserve and it called into question the Fed's penchant for secrecy."
Role of the Fed questioned
GOP lawmakers on the committee also focused their attention on emails they have suggesting that the New York Fed sought to conceal it had repaid AIG's counterparties in full with $62 billion in taxpayer funds.
'The steps the government took to rescue AIG were motivated solely by what we believed to be in the best interests of the American people.'
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner
"It stretches credulity for us to believe that you had no role in this and didn't know anything about it when your attorneys were sending emails around everywhere," said Rep. Dan Burton, D-Indiana.
Geithner and Paulson both said they were not involved in the disclosure of the AIG payments.
