Geithner Foresees "Very Hard Choices" In Controlling Deficit

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tells George Stephanopoulos that he stresses the importance of bringing the deficit down and getting it under control, and suggests health care reform is necessary, as well as "a range of other things." "That's going to require some very hard choices," he says.

"If we want an economy that's going to grow in the future... we have to bring those deficits down," Geithner adds. "We're going to have to do what's necessary."

Sounds like Argentina all over again. If you will just tighten your belts, everything will get better . . . yeah, right.

Meanwhile, bankers pay themselves record bonuses this year on fraudulent profits that we, the taxpayer, injected into their greedy ham handed paws.

You people have been sold down the river and still believe that you have representation watching out for your interests. HAHAHAHAHA. Slaves.

Economic advice from a TAX CHEAT!!! Give me a brake.

Hey DEMOCRAPS and you JACKASSES that voted in the MORON we call President HOBAMA.

Inherited a 1.6 Trillion dollar deficit. Tell the truth you piece of crap.

They include the tax cuts from 2002 and 2004 in that figure.

The difference between what this congress and Obama spent in March 1.2 Trillion(1 month) vs, Bush (Tax Cuts included) but spent 1.6 over 8 years.

Get ready to be taxed to death....

The Federal Reserve, like any Ponzi scheme, must have new capital or it will collapse. Higher debt limit merely postpones the inherent collapse. The FRBNY handled $8.4 trillion from T-auctions last year and hid the profit from Congress. Is that embezzlement? Ref. 3W scribd dot com message 49040689 RIP OFF BY FEDERAL RESERVE

Pure Demon!!!! I didn't know that they are interviewing Satan these days WOW!!!!

[SinisterSkip]

Is Geithner's facial expression of constant eyebrow raising a sigh of him being eternally brainwashed and corrupt?

[cooperbry]

Amazing how all politicians want to "prepare the American people" for the inevitable day that we become surfs and part with 75% of our earned income. Isn't that a revolt that founded this country? Amazing how comfortable people get in such a short period of time.

[callouschristian]

Just heard Geithner is getting fired. What a deal for him! He comes into his job to help AIG rip the American People off to the tune of 16.5 billion just so they could pad pockets of the wealthy and he "loses his job". USA is amazing. You sell crack to feed your family and get life in prison. You destroy the financial foundation of the country, "lose your job".

Fucking bankers!! Murdering and stealing people and now they dare beggin for a help!

Fuck You Geithner!

[GCOUNDOU]

Geithner is a key driver of the Plunger Team and is responsible for driving the fake stock market rally, since March, which will ultimately fail and lead to trillions of dollars of lost wealth for the US investor. He is a weasel and a snake.

[Warhorse46]

Geithner answers to Goldman Sachs and other bankers. His loyalty to the US Constitution is non existent. He is a traitor and should be executed as a traitor, along with Bernanke.

[Ikemxx]

of course not. If he mentioned "new taxes" people would be in an uproar and would hang him in effigy.

[HR1207auditthefed]

Geithner is a Traitor and he admits it here> /watch?v=e_I4CYhk6P4 After watching it you tell me if he admits it. Why else would he say "Your Government" when referring to the Government of the United States of America?
