Tim Geithner: “We have to act. We cannot talk about it. I agree with that.”

The TARP bank investments have already produced a profit for the taxpayer of over $19.5 billion.

When Timothy Geithner says today that he's willing to go over the cliff, he's saying it because, yes, it's posturing. But he's also saying it because he means it.

The things that are burdening the economy, making growth weaker are things that only Congress can solve.

I do not believe there is a credible argument to make that uncertainty about our fiscal deficits or uncertainty about the design of regulation in Washington today is having a material adverse effect on the American economy today.
