Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute…

Treasury Secretary and tax evasion expert Tim Geithner is about to get out of Dodge. That’s a smart move, because when Washington’s accountability postponement tactics collapse, the blame game will begin. Uncle Sam is now borrowing from the federal employee pension fund until the debt limit is expanded.  We’re already up to 16.4 trillion folks and no one – including Republicans – is making a serious effort to put the brakes on – just the opposite.  Geithner is going to run out of card tricks around the first of March.  That gives Obama and Congress plenty of time for more drama.  Who would have ever thought America’s governance model would regress to this level of persisting adolescent behavior. We’re talking about reactive leadership. The kind grounded in desperation and opportunism versus principle and character. Tim Geithner is going to move on.  Unfortunately the debt and gimmicks he’s added will linger in his wake and continue to punch holes in our ship.   

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
