What does it mean when a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat both call for Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to be fired? Is it a sign that he's lost the confidence of both parties and should be immediately disposed of? Or is it confirmation that he is steering safely down the middle of the river, while the left and the right banks seethe with rage?
Oregon Democrat Vic DeFazio, a staunch member of the House's progressive caucus took some hard swings at Geithner for paying more attention to Wall Street than to Main Street during an MSNBC interview with Ed Schultz. He finished by calling for both Larry Summers and Geithner to be fired, saying with a smirk, "We may have to sacrifice just two more jobs to get millions back for Americans."
