REP. CLIFF STEARNS, R-Fla.: Here’s the problem that I think a lot of us are having. Mr. Geithner says he wasn’t involved with the counterparty negotiations. You’re saying you didn’t — you were — you were not involved. Oh, yes, you heard a little about it. But, on November 6, when they gave $62 billion to all these parties that came in and looted AIG, all you guys say, I knew nothing about it.

Meantime, a critic argues that the real tragedy is Grayson’s reliance on a flawed study to promote greater government control of the health care system.

That critic is another congressman: Cliff Stearns.
