VIDEO: Treasury Secretary Geithner speaks, Thom Hartmann reacts

By GottaLaff

"This is putting a band-aid on a cancer."
--Thom Hartmann just now, re: Treasury Secretary Geithner's plan

UPDATE: As I drove to work, Thom Hartmann went on to say that this was a decent start that could end in one of two ways:

The Republicans would employ their usual tactics, engage in propaganda intended to destroy any possibility of this working, and win in 2010 which would be a complete disaster for the country. And that's all they care about, America be damned.

Or... After a minimum of a year to a year and a half, we'd see signs of recovery. Things will get worse before then. At that time, maybe we'll see unemployment numbers finally break even.

He said this will be a p.r. battle more than anything. I'm afraid he has a point.
