NEW YORK (CNNMoney) - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says Republicans in Congress don't have a plan to create jobs - a statement Republicans in Congress dispute.
"Unless the Republicans are willing to do more things to help the economy right now, then unemployment will stay too high," Geither said in an interview that aired Wednesday with CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin.
