‘This Week’ Coming Up: Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner
EmailOur headliner on "This Week" Sunday: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. It’s Geithner’s first Sunday interview since taking the reigns at the Treasury Department. Markets rallied this week after Geithner unveiled his banking plan … so is recovery starting to take hold? What if the banking plan doesn’t work? What will Geithner’s plan to reshape the Treasury mean for the future of America’s economy? Do you have a question for Secretary Geithner? I want to hear from you. Send me your questions HERE.
Plus, our "This Week" Roundtable — Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, ABC’s George Will, Cokie Roberts, and Matthew Dowd — will discuss the president’s budget now facing resistance on Capitol Hill among Republicans and Democrats. And, with President Barack Obama headed abroad for the G20 summit, will he be able to achieve a coordinated global response to the economic crisis? Will the president’s new Afghanistan strategy yield results? See you Sunday morning. –George Stephanopoulos

Obama Avoids Questions on Contraception Rule
I purchsed my home in Jan 2008 – and I lost my full-time job on Mar 27, 2008. My question is; Why aren’t I entitled to the $8,000 Tax Credit, that others are getting who purchase their homes in April, 2008? Why not give everyone who purchase their home in 2008, a Tax Credit for $8K? I have been surviving with several Part-time jobs I’ve been getting this year, but it is a struggle. Now I have to pay IRS $1,000 because, I did not have them take taxes out of my unemployment distribution. Wall/Street and Banks get Bailed-Out and Gratuties and I can’t even get a TAX Break.

My question for Tim Geithner is what will he do to make investors whole at least partially. The Lehman collapse last year was manufactured by the Bush/Paulson/Cox/Goldman regime and people’s whole retirement accounts/401Ks got wiped out by their manipulation through cronyism, mini-politics and out-moded philosophies. Since this collapse was due to the SEC not enforcing the rules (short-selling, rumor-mongering, not responding to complaints) to the protection of those favored by Bush/Paulson/Cox/Goldman, what can the Obama administration do for the little guys to encourage the little guy to trust investing again?
