Geithner: World Faces 'Significant Economic Policy Challenges'

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--International watchdogs need to bring more pressure to bear on countries with artificial exchange rates, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Saturday, warning that the current system is straining international economic cooperation.

Geithner, in a statement to the International Monetary and Financial Committee in Washington, called on the International Monetary Fund to provide better oversight on countries that artificially value their currencies. While he didn't cite any specific countries in the remarks, they were likely an indirect reference to China, which U.S. officials have repeatedly said needs to let the yuan appreciate.

Geithner never quit harping at Chicom. Western financial elite and Chinese communist regime deserve each other. I want to see both of them go down eventually.

Fixed exchange rate regimes always had manipulation as well so what is new?

All evidence bears that the globalists are “all in”, and ready to pull the financial trigger on us.

Must be that the old rules they set to insure they win, don’t work for them anymore, so they want new rules to insure they win.

What’s the point in being an elite if you don’t make the rules and harvest the profits, and dump the losses on the little people?

Geithner is one of the most political Treasury Secretaries ever.

Geithner has to know that THIS IS NOT THE TIME to go toe to toe with China over finances. Either Geithner’s an idiot or he’s trying to take us down...

And I still would not vote for him because of where he stands, and has historically stood, on the issues.

Why don’t other FReepers recognize we’re being manipulated into a one world government?

FReepers love their nation dearly. For many, the thought of its destruction and the death of freedom is just too much to bear.
