Krugman is too charitable to Geithner-Summers

On TARP 2.0, or whatever the hell you want to call it, on deeply and honestly addressing the problems of toxic financial institutions, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and economic butthole surfer czar Larry Summers aren’t “dithering,” as Paul Krugman says.

No, far worse.

They’re deliberately stalling.

“Dithering” implies they have a plan, but they’re not comfortable with it.

“Stalling” means they know what the plan should be, and they’re QUITE uncomfortable with it.
