A Citigroup restructuring plan, and bank restructuring plans that were never developed by Treasury Secretary Geithner for President Obama
01/02/2009
Ron Suskind documents the making of key economic decisions in the Obama White House from 700 hours of interviews in his new book released in Sept 2011: "Confidence Men: the Obama White House, Wall Street and the Education of a President." In the book he says Obama asked Geithner to develop a plan for restructuring Citigroup after the bailout of Citi. A month later he followed up in a meeting, and was told by Romer at a meeting Geithner did not atttend, that no plan had been developed. The President's response was "it better be." Geithner says he was asked to do so but "fortunately there was never a need to put them in place."

The Geithner Plan and the views of people like Krugman in the NYT, and Peter Eavis of the WSJ Heard on the Street column who doubt this will work and outline their reasons.

Looking back: An assessment of the management of the U.S. economy in Obama's first term 2008-2012
03/11/2009
Why were significant resources not invested to aid homeowners under water just as resources were provided to the auto industry? And why was there a lack of focus on unemployment in this period? The challenges were difficult but did the Obama administration do what could have been done. The auto industry bailout was an easy call considering Obama's commitment to increasing fuel efficiency during his days in Congress. Housing was a tougher call with bankers cautious and influencing policy, yet even Republicans Martin Feldstein and Sheila Bair were calling repeatedly for strong action. Tackling housing first and healthcare later after economic recovery, is likely to have produced better results, credibility for the administration, and a broad consensus in the U.S.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
