A lot of people have been trash talking our new Treasury Secretary for not being off book during his big Congressional debut a couple weeks back, for not moving his ass quickly enough, and for squeezing too tightly. Well guess what, tough guys? It's not his fault!
Whereas Paulson had a stenographer, driver, and fluffer, T. Geith is working all by his lonesome. According to ABC News, the lil' fella is "sitting over there by himself and does not have a staff," though actual estimates put the number at "probably ten to twenty percent" of what it should be. Apparently one major factor in the lack of Little Geiths is that they need people who have "financial expertise" but can also pass what is likely a ramped up vetting process, due to some awkward moments with Turbo Tax made public. Does that sound like you? Have you longed for the opportunity to whisper sweet nothing's in those elfin' ears*? Take one for the team and get in touch.
*They look bizarrely unpointy in the one above but you know whatI'mtalkingabout.
