Tim Geithner: “I think the U.S. financial system today is in substantially stronger shape than it was 3 months ago, 6 months ago, 9…”

If the U.S. Government were at this time... to significantly reduce the assistance it provides students going to college, that would be a bad thing for the country.

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.

It would be better for the country for Congress to provide some certainty about how we are going to address these long-term fiscal problems.

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