Geithner will most certainly stay as long as the current administration is in the White House. Just because fiscal conservatives like you and I strongly disagree with their policies, bordering on criminal, doesn’t mean that they will be leaving anytime soon.

Economy of any country depends on public and not on administrators. Mr. Geithner and Mr.Obama’s greatest faultline to fill the coffers of banks ultimately proved wrong.It is the small businesses and the non organised sectors that fuels the economy and employment of any country but the administrations left them apart.Its no way to lament for Mr. Timothy.

Poor Timmy–we hardly knew ye. (And you didn’t even get your signature on a banknote!).

The above comment says it all, perfectly. No need to elaborate.

Nothing worse than a populist (read people’s) political climate!

Replacing Geithner is idiotic. Americans got themselves into this mess with subprime and a laissez faire attitude to the markets. The fact is markets must be regulated and oversight is very much required. What did you expect to happen when you live on credit cards, 1st mortgages, 2nd mortgages, etc.? Geithner has undoubtedly engineered a very impressive program that has kept the economy from the brink. Anyone who doesn’t see that is clearly uninformed. Replacing the house republicans is a much much better move. They keep getting in the way of real progress.

If I had to choose, I would pick Janet Yellen. That said, anyone who took the position of Secretary of Treasury as the markets collapsed has an uphill battle ahead of them. I have met Tim Geithner, and he is sharp as a tack. We could have done a lot worse. I might have done things a little differently, but I wouldn’t be calling for his head just yet.

Let him stay. He is a crook and an extention of Barry. The current ruling elite are in an exponential self destruct sequence. Geither is doing his part in accelerating the count down.

Not one man or fifty will undo the consequences of nearly three decades of Reaganomics in less than a year. Geithner is doing all that can be done from his post.
