Jim Rogers: Geithner clueless (Bloomberg TV)

Jim Rogers joined Bloomberg TV to discuss the Treasury's bank rescue plan, confirming the Wall Street consensus that Tim Geithner's proposal is a bomb.

Rogers heaps scorn on Treasury Secretary Geithner, citing Geithner's role in fostering the financial crisis in the first place, and his efforts in crafting TARP and other "absurd bailouts" last year. He says Geithner "has never known what he's doing", and this is something that everyone (including President Obama) will soon find out.

Once again, Jim points out that America is making the same mistakes Japan made in the 1990s, and that efforts to prop up the banks with "government money" will prove disastrous. Press play and we'll let JR tell the rest.

About time someone talked plain about this bull.

Right?

The funny thing is that JR's been on Bloomberg and CNBC more times than I can count in the past year or two, saying many of these same things over and over, and yet it still doesn't get through some people's heads!
