Giether is just as dumb as Holder. Below in an interview with Bloomberg, Nassim Taleb suggests he lacks confidence in Geither for an interesting reason. It starts around 8.40. BTW, Taleb has to have a few hundred million dollars while Geither was making $149k as President of the NY Fed. Apparently Geither jumped on the no doc loan train himself and must have thought it was a good investment lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVxcDgfTzuk
