The New York Times reports [2] on the heroic efforts of Timothy Geithner:
Rarely have so few people had so little time to prop up so many pillars of the economy as those in the Treasury Department [3] under Timothy F. Geithner [4].
In the six weeks since Mr. Geithner took over as Treasury
secretary, he and a skeleton crew of unofficial senior advisers have
been racing to make decisions that will shape the future of the
banking, insurance, housing and automobile industries.
But even
as he maintains a frenetic pace â unveiling plans, testifying before
Congress and negotiating new bailouts with the likes of Citigroup [5], General Motors [6] and the American International Group [7] â there are signs that events are getting ahead of him.
All the aides in the world wouldn't make any difference. It's an impossible task.
