Geithner and his critics

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner faced his critics in Congress yesterday and they were angry. There was bipartisan agreement in attacking the AIG bailout. It is a complicated issue, of course. But given the quality of these critics I cannot help feeling support for Geithner. Where was Congress then? Have they agreed on a mechanism to shut down large financial institutions? Do they remember how close we were to meltdown last year?
