Brown stands behind Geithner but seeks improvement from Treasury
The Hill – Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) on Friday said that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner should keep his job but that he would like to see his agency focus more on creating blue-collar jobs.
"He's got my confidence," Brown said on ABC News' "Top Line" webcast.
Brown, who is considered a liberal senator and represents a state with high unemployment, said Geithner needs to focus more on job creation in the manufacturing an auto sectors in order to spur job creation.
