On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told ABC's This Week host George Stephanopoulos that Americans are "in a much better position to deal with" soaring gas prices because "the overall cost of energy for consumers is down."

Then, in another Sunday appearance, Mr. Geithner went on Meet the Press and told NBC's David Gregory that President Obama's handling of the financial crisis has been "extremely successful" and that "history will judge what he [Obama] did as remarkably effective crisis management."

In 2009, Tim Geithner became U.S. Treasury Secretary despite the fact that his confirmation revealed that he had previously failed to pay $17,230 in taxes and interest from 2003 and 2004 and another $25,970 from 2001 and 2002.

He must be about to propose a Federal Tax on the “difference”......

Something about chocolate rations keeps nagging at me...

Geithner is a sneaky little turd.

Geithner has had his head up his ass for so long his brain has asphyxiated.

I want some of what he’s smoking!

I live in the Oil Patch but my
Diesel cost me $4.36 this afternoon. Gasoline is $3.80 something and electricity rates just went up to pay for the damned wind power. What part of BS am I missing?

[Popman]

This regime is starting to remind me of the old Soviet Union propaganda machine....

put down the crack pipe, timmy

[SoFloFreeper]

The cost is only down because people are CUTTING BACK ON THEIR SPENDING!

Tax Cheat Timmy is using an Obama/Clinton way of speaking...my "costs" on new car buying have been ZERO dollars since 1989...because I quit buying new cars that year and have bought USED cars ever since.

In the same way, COSTS for consumers are DOWN because they're ENGAGING IN LESS ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.

Incredible... we are in a depression and people are having trouble feeding their families and there is not enough money at the end of the month so we scrimp harder... and this elitist a$$breath has the unmitigated gall to tell a lie like this to our faces... FU timmah... you tax cheating fagot.

Gas was under two bucks three years ago, so yeah, prices are down. Or something.

When will this Eddie Haskell look-alike ever be fitted for chrome bracelets?

These people simply spout whatever words they think will make themselves look good whenever needed - they contemptuously believe most of the public is too ill-informed and unsophisticated to know any differently - and sadly it seems to be turning out that they’re correct.......
