A quarantaine island for pedophiles, OK.But we urgently need one for Timmy Geithner too: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has scheduled a trip to Europe this week to urge European leaders “to pay better attention to potential market reactions to policy moves, and to accelerate the European rescue program.” This promises to be a fiasco. What could European leaders possibly find more arrogant than to be lectured on bailout policy – not simply by the U.S., but specifically by a one-trick pony bureaucrat whose chief trick is the ability to smoothly talk the language of prudence while simultaneously prostituting the fiscal stability of an entire nation for the benefit of bondholders who made bad loans?Unusually strong language from John Hussman this week. http://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc100524.htm
