14 Modern Cassandras Criticize Government Economic Policy

OK, some of these 14 Cassandras have more dignitas and credibility than others. Still, it's an interesting collection of critics from both left and right. One common theme -- apparently nobody likes Tim Geithner or his "plan."

I can't resist including a quote from one of the critics:

"Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's latest bank bailout plan is another Rube Goldberg contraption intended to funnel taxpayer dollars to bankrupt banks, without being overly visible about the process."

A RUBE GOLDBERG DEVICE! Such geek-speak does make me smile.
