I have NEVER suggested that. Why do YOU keep bringing up firing Geithner? IS that what you want?

The latest was directed more to Merc.

Punishing the responsible parties would send a serious message of accountability to everyone immediately. It will prevent said parties from doing it again, being proactive and preventing a problem instead of dealing with it after the fact. Doesn't that sound like a logical solution? It would also further Obama's message of change and, to me, earn him a lot more respect. Taking action is what needs to be done here.

And I said, the only action that could realistically be taken against Geitner, short of firing, is symbolic.
And the bill to prevent such abuses with the expenditure of the remaining TARP funds is more than symbolic and will, IMO, accomplish more than a "slap on the wrist"
