Geithner to Goldman Clock is ticking down.
UPDATE: Secretary Tim Geithner got hammered on Capitol Hill yesterday. Congressmen said the public has lost faith in him and asked for his resignation.

Why has the Geithner rage flared up now, a full year after he reamed taxpayers to save Wall Street?

Because a year ago, everyone was worried about the whole world ending, so no one cared about the details. Now, for Main Street, the world has ended: The unemployment rate is over 10%. On Wall Street, meanwhile, times have never been better. That inequity has made Americans mad as hell, and Congress isn't going to take it anymore.

So it's time to revisit our Geithner-To-Goldman Clock!

As you'll recall, this clock is counting down the days, hours, and minutes until Tim takes his seat at Goldman Sachs. When you've got a guaranteed job at Goldman Sachs, you make chicken-feed public-servant wages, you can't sell your house, and you've got annoying Congressmen bitching at you on live TV, your days as Treasury Secretary are numbered...and our clock reflects that.
