The Obama administration will unveil within the next couple of weeks details of its plan for dealing with the toxic assets that lie at the heart of the financial crisis, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said Tuesday.
He predicted the plan, calling for federal financing to help private investors buy the bad assets held by banks, would succeed, but he said it would take time to end the crisis.
"It's going to take a lot to work through this" because the starting point is "just a deep mess," Geithner said on "The Charlie Rose Show."
Geithner unveiled the overhaul of the government's $700-billion financial rescue program Feb. 10, but stocks tumbled as investors expressed disappointment with a lack of details, particularly on the plan to deal with toxic assets. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
