Tim Geithner to Laid Off Americans: Your getting laid off is “healthy”

Ben Graham — Sat, 2009-07-11 23:28

Erick Erickson Posted this at Redstate. Are the Dems really so desperate to prove the the economy is doing well that they will tell people that was is going on is healthy!?

This is just disgusting.

According to CongressDaily, Tim Geithner testified before “a joint House Agriculture and Financial Services hearing on the regulation of derivatives.”

Noting the rising unemployment, Geithner said what the economy “is going through is a very necessary and healthy adjustment as [Americans] go back to living within their means.” He added: “We do not have an economy that is growing again.”

It’s a “necessary and healthy adjustment”? Seriously? 9.5% unemployment is necessary and healthy how exactly?

How is “an economy that is [not] growing” necessary and healthy?

This is the guy so needed to get our economy going again that Congress overlooked his tax evasion.

And this is the man who, having never worked in the private sector, thinks you losing your job is “necessary and healthy.”

That’s Barack Obama’s America.

You need to check to see if you are protected from unemployment. Many insurance policies exist that will protect you in the case of a lost income in such a situation. If your not protected, you need to get that insurance immediately before being laid off.

To the individual worker, unemployment is a tragedy; one that the government should do something about. To the economist, who is looking at the big picture, unemployment is a necessity, and a certain amount of unemployment is necessary to maintain a healthy
economy.
