U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the government will provide "substantial support" to GMAC LLC, Reuters reported Friday. Geithner told Reuters TV that it's likely GMAC will need more government capital and that the Treasury Department will provide it. Geithner also said the April jobs figures are somewhat encouraging, and that he expects job loss in the U.S. to slow in the second half of 2009.
