Geithner: Job growth should resume by springtime

AP
posted: 4 DAYS 8 HOURS AGO
Text SizeAAA
WASHINGTON -Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says he believes it's reasonable to expect "positive job growth" by spring and that people should have confidence about an improving economic climate.
In an interview broadcast on ABC's "Good Morning America," Geithner (GYT'-nur) also said he believes many banks around the country still have work ahead of them to regain the public's faith. He said, "They need to work very hard to shore it up" and said he wasn't certain that "all banks get it."
Geithner's stewardship of the Treasury has come in for criticism on occasion. He said Wednesday, "I think most people would say the economy actually is strengthening now going into the end of the year," but that the key is to regain lost jobs.

The economy is improving? HAH ! We just finished with the 3-year ARM defaults, but here come the 5-year ARM defaults ! Moreover, the idiots in Washington have monetized our HUGE debt, which is driving a stake through the heart of the US dollar. Accordingly, the "double-dip" recession is starting in a few months ! And the stock market will slide back down below 6,000 in the next 6 to 18 months. Don't buy a pig in a poke from Mrs. Geithner's little boy, Timothy, or from that astoundingly arrogant and shockingly stupid man-child in the White House, Prez Obozo (The Socialist Turd of Doom).
