Tom Brokaw is sounding better at the receiving end of questions in his twilight years as a reporter. He eloquently spoke of the mood in America this morning on MTP. Washington and Wall Street are out of touch with Main Street America and this fiasco of bonus payouts to executives of companies receiving tax payer bailout money is ultimately coming to symbolize the disconnect.
The most stunning of proclamations made in criticsm of the new Secretary of the Treasury revolves around Wall Street's criticsim that Mr. Geithner has not been "creative" enough in helping solve the financial crisis. Hasn't it been "creativity" with derivative products that got the U.S into this pickle. Imagine removing the creativity and letting losers who fail lose.
