INTERVIEWER: MIKE ALLEN, Chief White House Correspondent

GUEST: TIMOTHY GEITHNER, Treasury Secretary

CHAPTER 1

MR. ALLEN: Hello. I'm Mike Allen, White House correspondent of POLITICO. Welcome to POLITICO’s video series, "Inside Obama's Washington." We're here at the Treasury Department with Secretary Tim Geithner. Welcome, Mr. Secretary.

SECRETARY GEITHNER: Nice to see you, Mike.

MR. ALLEN: How confident are you that a clear recovery will be underway by this spring?

SECRETARY GEITHNER: Very confident. The economy is healing. It's growing. It's more broad based. You see the classic signs of greater confidence among consumers and businesses now. They see stronger orders. So, I think we've been successful in breaking the momentum of the worst recession in generations. But this crisis caused a lot of wreckage. There's still a lot of damage out there. Unemployment is still very, very high, and we have a lot of work to do to make sure that we're restoring confidence, getting people back to work, making businesses comfortable to make the kind of decisions that are necessary to grow the economy.

They set it up to eat from the inside out and thier just biding thier time, waiting for it to implode. Meanwhile they nauseate us day after day with thier bullsh## talking points over and over hoping we remain calm, quiet and hopeful that it will get better. Here are the questions....Are you confident? Have you gone out and spent some serious money, or just money in general? Is your business comfortable? will you be investing in the stock market anytime soon? buying a new home, car or opening a business? These despicable criminals, tax cheats, liars, scam artists arrogant self serving cretans are all in on the agenda by design. Let us not go soft as we approach November, these bad actors are doing a costume change but whats underneath is the same bad actor.
