Timothy F. Geithner
Secretary of the Treasury

On January 26, 2009, Timothy F. Geithner was sworn in as the 75th Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury in a ceremony attended by President Barack H. Obama, and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Secretary Geithner first joined the Department of Treasury in 1988 and worked in three administrations for five Secretaries of the Treasury in a variety of positions. He served as Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs from 1999 to 2001 under Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers.

Maybe studio execs should consider doing a flick on the Three Financial Stooges, Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers and Timothy Geithner.

These numbskulls had a lot to do with getting us into the economic jam we find ourselves in.

In fact, long before Barney Frank and Chris Dodd threw a gigantic wrench in the works when others were trying to stop Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from hemorrhaging, the Three Financial Stooges laid the groundwork for the current economic catastrophe, and they did so under Bill Clinton’s administration.

Rubin was treasury secretary, Summers was his assistant and Geithner served as an undersecretary.

Rubin, Summers and Geithner lobbied then-President Clinton, and ultimately the Congress, to get rid of the Glass-Steagall Act, which stopped banks from entering into the securities market. They were also part of the group that rammed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act through.
