Were seeing some encouraging signs of progress, but we face many, many daunting challenges ahead, said Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner at a House Appropriations Committee hearing this morning.Joining Geithner at todays hearing were the other two members of the so-called troika: Council of Economic Advisers chair Christina Romer and Office of Management Budget director Peter Orszag. But in a sign of the widespread anger about the economic downturn, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, a Democrat from Ohio, ripped into the three administration officials for not doing enough to help the unemployed. - Late-Innings Hardball in Health Care Push
