Later in the interview, Geithner told Liz Claman he does not support a tax on stock trades.
On a transaction tax proposal that has been kicked around in Congress as a way to generate much-needed revenue, Geithner said, âI don't think that specific thing is the way to go.â
NOT THE VIDEO JUST AN ARTICLE, STILL WAITING FOR THE VIDEO

I want to see him go more indepth on this and what Obama thinks will help us to understand what they are thinking. I also want it out of the mind of Pelosi. It seems that one senator is going to introduce a bill next week in the senate, with Bernard Saunders whom is an independent. Dam there goes one of our indies! So far so good though we have opposition to it as long as they remain tough. That letter with 200 economists was ridiculous, our lobbies need to do the same thing of people that support it in the world of economics.
âWe need our elected officials to focus on policies that will help the business community create productivity and get people back to work,â David Hirschmann, a senior official with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said shortly after DeFazio announced his legislation. âThis tax will deter job creation, investment and retirement savings.â

It's good to have the US Chamber of Commerce as an ally.

Geithner video from fox, nothing great he is talking about the tax not being useful to pay tarp or defecits. Which is all good but... now that everybody's harping on it for jobs different story. Especially with people in congress's distaste for Geithner. Get this jobs bill out of the way and lets see what happens at the IMF , we can assume this crap wont die down for some time, so we have to be fighting every step of the way. Regardless if things become silent about this for a while, still write congress, we should all write to Nazi Pelosi as well.
