Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, a protege of Treasury Secretaries Rubin and Summers, has received his reward for continuing the Rubin-Summers-Paulson policy of supporting the “banks too big to fail” at the expense of the economy and American people.

The television has long been a central fixture of the American home, starting with the introduction of basic newscasts and baseball games in the 1930s, and slowly evolving into a place where families could gather to watch films, sitcoms and premium cable channels. But data on television ratings show that Americans are increasingly turning off their televisions, as numbers show plummeting viewership.
