Geithner Confirmed, Sworn In

Tim Geithner was confirmed as Treasury Secretary by the Senate, passing on a 60-34 vote, with ten Republicans voting in favor and several Democrats voting against. Geithner’s confirmation comes at a critical time, and he was sworn in quickly to get him right to work. The banking system continues to teeter, and Geithner is faced with the most serious problems we have seen in our lifetime. I hope he is up to the task!

    Really, Mr. Mayor this is an insult to every taxpayer. 😦
    P.S. Off topic I know but that clip of Obama Roasting Rahm, well the funniest bit came right at the end when Rahm gives a thumps-up and then a salute to his “boss” using the hand with the truncated MIDDLE FINGER! 🙂

    I believe he feels that tax cuts for the wealthy spur the economy.
