Tim Geithner: “I believe very strongly that our actions will be more effective if we get complementary actions by other countries.”

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.

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.

I definitely believe that Dodd-Frank has put us in a much stronger position than we were before the crisis.

If Congress were to choose to try to defer everything... that would be very damaging to the interests of the country.
