Geithner said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has "very substantial" resources to fund a device that could look like the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which helped navigate American financial institutions through the crisis in 2008 and 2009.
"Through the IMF, of course, we're already playing a very major role," he said in a live interview in Paris. "We're happy to see the IMF continue to play that role in support of a more forceful, comprehensive strategy where Europe's own resourcesvery ample resourcesare deployed on a much more substantial scale."
The comments give a lift to U.S. stocks, which have been highly volatile in the past several months as proposed solutions have come and gone for the euro crisis.

Foreigners reaching for my wallet?Not a good idea.
The printing press tax on those who produce.
Is Geithner completely insane or just plain evil?
We will never be able to pay back our debt to them for saving us during WWII will we.
Can't one be insanely evil?
The man was a prophet...
They will always be there when they need us.
Not one tax payer dollar for Europe! We sent a bundle of the Tarp money and it failed. Enough is enough. Stop Gaithner and his dumb schemes.
There ain’t enough bailout. We have already been robbed to pay for the socialism in Europe.
Screw them, they made their bed and Geithner needs to be fired and put behind bars.
Very major role means the American taxpayers on the hook....again. While they continue to bullsh## the “middleclass” Giethner, an unelected zero czar is using our money for the benefit of his and zero’s criminal friends here and overseas. I will say it again, we need to press for hearings and prosecution of these criminals when we regain the WH
” The printing press tax on those who produce. “
The printing press tax on those who produce, our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren unto the 27th generation....
I wonder when those morons down in the Financial District will ever get around to occupying the Treasury building?
about the only good news on this is that Geithner along with the gov’ts of the uk, canada and australia have rejected a BRIC proposal to put even more money into the IMF to bail out europe. So europe gets to piss away the existing IMF allocation, but doesn’t get any additional
i guess that’s as close to good news as we get these days..
Yeah, this is going to go over good with WE the people!
How stupid can these people get?? Never mind. Don't answer that.
Besides, why get po'd about it? Tax Money = Monopoly money
Where can I go to stop giving the govt my money to spend in idiot ways like this???
Oh yeah, the got 4000 tanks to send after me if I get out of line. We get closer to a tyranny every tick of the clock.
You wanna quit spamming the Breaking News and Frontpage sidebars with every article you post?
Thanks,
agreed- and while this turns my stomach it is just the sort of nail to reignite the Tea Party to a fever pitch greater than 2010 and put the final nails in obozo’s coffin...
