Drug Policy

Also his "good buddy" Tim Geithner, who is well known in California for:

1) turning us 37 million citizens down for a requested loan for 20 billion dollars as, according to Geithner, that would "significantly impact the Federal budget deficit"

2) Telling Michelle Bachman, in one of the few ten minute periods of her life when she was making sense, that "your government doesn't have the ability to do" blah blah blah, in terms of setting up a regional state chartered system of state banks to dispense restorative funds to the economy. Bachman was trying to get Geithner to admit where huge amounts of money went during the time period of Autumn 2008 and Spring 2010. Geithner has always been adamant that what the Federal government did in response to the 1980's S & L crisis never happened.

Since Bachman was speaking of the Federal Government of the United States, a logically thinking person would assume that Geithner's response would be "our government." The Freudian slip he made indicates how Geithner sees himself more as "the money person " who manipulates the financial players on the stage of the world economy, and he doesn't consider this to be his country at all.
