Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said there’s no reason the decade-long U.S. expansion -- which he called a “modest recovery” -- can’t continue absent “some dumb mistakes.”
Geithner spoke on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on Sunday alongside former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, three key participants in the rescue of the U.S. economy from the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
