According to Tim Geithner, American High Finance will lead us marching proudly into the future. Providing finance to other countries that actually make things and could use the cash to invest. I suppose he's assuming that all Americans will benefit by getting jobs working for wall street. Riiight.
After all, High Finance thus far has worked out so well for the rest of us. But I suppose Geithner has a good reason to think the past has no bearing on the future.
Not that Tim Geithner has any skin in the game or anything -- I'm sure after his tenure as treasury secretary, he won't go back into Wall Street but will get a job pruning bushes and welding at a plant in Detroit.
Note to parents: quit pushing your kid to get that football scholarship. Enlist little Susie and Timmy into tots 'n quants.
