Geithner. Look at this guy's expression, of such deep concern -- that continually wrinkled brow, and you tell me. And he was there, assisting, the whole time.

But, that said, why would they know and not him? Does Tim Geitneer know Warren Buffet? Someone should introduce them if he doesn't. Buffet was talking about the derivatives market way back when.

I knew. I know that I'm nobody, but I still knew. It's been going on for years, this giant black hole of unpaid debt in the economy. I knew that one day, sooner or later it would catch up with us. The truth is that the real-estate bubble was only the straw that broke the camel’s back because the blame and the consequence for it could be dropped on the little guys...the Fed's been printing too much money for years.
