At 10.2% Unemployment, Geithner "Economy, Consumer Confidence, Financial System are Stronger Now"

Despite 10.2 % unemployment and 12 trillion in US debt, Treasury Secretary Geithner states to the Joint Economic Committee " IF YOU LOOK AT ANY MEASURE OF CONSUMER AND INVESTOR CONFIDENCE TODAY, IF YOU LOOK AT ANY MEASURE OF THE STRENGTH AND STABILITY AND HEALTH OF THE AMERICAN ECONOMY IF YOU LOOK AT ANY MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM, IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY STRONGER TODAY THAN WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TOOK OFFICE."

I want some of what Geithner is smoking. 3.6 million lost jobs,triple deficits and more government in people lives. TheFouline is a dumb as*. What has government ever done well except spend money. This is not the 80's and we could have been out of this if the government would get out of peoples lives and stop spending money -it doesn't have to spend. Big business is scard s*itless and are cutting people so they don't have to pay higher taxes. I have never recieved a job from a poor man.

He and the rest of the Goldman Sachs Gang should be on trial for fraud, and insider trading.

[RealityCheck86]

He, like Obama and the other morons, thinks Guam is about to tip over.

Vote them all out and make them get real jobs.

And what is up with the vacation to Spain that cost us $250K for security? The Obamas act like they are on a 4-year vacation at Disneyland. They do NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING.

Has he EVER put country first as his job description mandates?... NEVER! He is anti-American, racist and wants to turn us into his birth country - Nigeria.

Hahaha! What the F*CK is he talking about? I've got a measure of confidence for you, Tiny Tim. GOLD is racing towards $1200 and ounce and the DOLLAR is crashing. That's flight due to your criminal activity.

[VendettaVV]

that's change of bullshit that we can all believe in.

[JimboVids]

He actually kept a straight face when he spewed that bullshit?

[putittogether]

Foulline Something is FISHY, no offense to the fish. This whole deal stinks. Tarp, the Stimulus, every piece of legislation is subject to suspect in my book. An investigation will need to take place of the FED, Treasury and every one that put their fingers in the federal pie. Geithner has to be the starting point along with Goldman Sachs.Now that would be a good time.

[TheFoulline]

I agree with you, I make no qualms about the fact that he has mismanaged the tarp monies, and that has us screwed ! My problem with Geithner is he passed out the Billions in tarps, and the recipients only have to pay back 1/3 and no interest ? Maybe Geithner was being waterboarded to give them that sweet deal !

Blackmail ?

[irisojects]

Hey, buddy could you spare a dime? I do not know how your making out but here is a news flash. Americans are struggling to make ends met. Geithner is part of the problem, boy genius, is so insulated in his tower that he has no clue what is really going on. You must live in the tower next to him.
