Charlie Rose - A conversation with Timothy Geithner, U.S. Treasury Secretary

Charlie Rose - A conversation with Timothy Geithner, U.S. Treasury Secretary
In this interview he made a lot of sense. His enunciation of principles is coherent; however the actual tools to effect those principles, while not entirely unacceptable are not always the most effective I would think of.

"Ars sine scientia nihil est"

For example, when he is talking about doing the private public partnership to unclog tarp assets . They are going to lend money to private investors so that the can go and buy tarp assets. The contention I have repeatedly made is: why would this be better than setting up a market making operation on those assets traded at a refined level of granularity?
