Geithner: Raise Debt Limit To Infinity
"The sooner the better."
Tim Geithner with Bloomberg's Al Hunt on Friday.
There is no doubt the annual debt ceiling battle has become something of a circus sideshow, but it's also the only time the media, and the occasionally even citizens, pay attention to deficit and government spending issues. If the debt ceiling were eliminated, the opportunity for budget discussion would disappear.
Geithner warned at the end of October that Treasury would reach the current legal limit on the federal government's debt before end of the year. In August 2011, Congress agreed to lift the legal debt limit by $2.4 trillion, allowing the government to borrow up to $16.394 trillion. However, as of the close of business on Thursday, the Treasury had only $154.3 billion of that $2.4 trillion in new borrowing authority left.
Last week, Harry Reid said the Senate would not hesitate to raise the ceiling to $19 trillion, even though in 2006, when the national debt was $8 trillion under Bush, Reid said it would be the worst thing we could do.

William Black On Democracy Now: "Fire Geithner, Holder & Bernanke And Throw The Banking Felons In Jail!"
Think, and ponder the relationship between these facts. England is standing on a step stool to mug us. You guys probably have never been mugged. When being mugged, your only hope to save your life may be the expeditious use of a weapon. My Buck Ranger sent the guy running, but not before considerable cosmetic damage to myself had been wrought. Treachery is The City of London's ONLY skill. Queen lizard started with two of her sisters. The U.S. don't mean shit to queen lizard. She wants it all, as does her ugly spawn, the "Me First" brats. The CFRtv and the Associated Press are NOT your friend.
