Tim Geithner to Laid Off Americans: Your getting laid off is “healthy”
Ben Graham — Sat, 2009-07-11 23:28
Erick Erickson Posted this at Redstate. Are the Dems really so desperate to prove the the economy is doing well that they will tell people that was is going on is healthy!?
This is just disgusting.
According to CongressDaily, Tim Geithner testified before “a joint House Agriculture and Financial Services hearing on the regulation of derivatives.”
Noting the rising unemployment, Geithner said what the economy “is going through is a very necessary and healthy adjustment as [Americans] go back to living within their means.” He added: “We do not have an economy that is growing again.”
It’s a “necessary and healthy adjustment”? Seriously? 9.5% unemployment is necessary and healthy how exactly?
How is “an economy that is [not] growing” necessary and healthy?
This is the guy so needed to get our economy going again that Congress overlooked his tax evasion.
And this is the man who, having never worked in the private sector, thinks you losing your job is “necessary and healthy.”
That’s Barack Obama’s America.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
DJ — Thu, 2010-08-26 17:03What a ridiculous statement to say it's healthy.....it's far from healthy and he's an idiot. Let's face it America lived beyond their means for a long long time thats a given. There's no question many people are out of work and are getting the shaft everywhere they turn. But this is happening all over the world not to the extent of the US but it is happening. Too many greedy crooks out there and a manifestation of spending brought your country to a hault. Hey, but that's okay everyone is learning from this landslide. But to say its healthy "give your head a shake, Tim", or perhaps have it examined because you are way off on this one.

Need to do something
LisaOlson — Fri, 2010-06-11 00:09Hi Ben,
I believe that Tim Geithner might have his own reason for saying American is going through necessary and healthy adjustment. I know the government will be doing their best to give a resolution to the increasing unemployment for Americans.
And I also understand how you feel when someone would say that this is a healthy adjustment. As citizen of the country we feel the pain of seeing more and more people getting unemployed. But the question is, Did we ever value what we have before we lose them? Everybody should cooperate to resolve this issue from the government, economy to the people. Something right has to be done.
