We are seeing more durable stability in the economy and the financial system is substantially in better shape. But we have a ways to go, and we need to keep working in the U.S. and with other major economies to restore conditions for a sustainable recovery.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner • Speaking yesterday as he was traveling to China to do whatever a treasury secretary does. (Seriously, he plans to offer reassurances to the country that the U.S. is on the right track financially and that their financial investments are safe.) • source
Sigh, magazines are feeling it too. Paste, which is probably one of the best music magazines out there (even if it does dig deep into that mushy adult-pop-indie), is begging for your help to stay afloat. Seriously. They have a donation page and everything. Plus, Paste is awesome. Why would we want this magazine to die? Sigh. Throw in $25 bones and help pay for someone’s freelance piece. You’ll feel better for it, trust us. source
