The global Ponzi must go on! Taking his cue from fellow terrorist Hank Paulson, Tim Geithner threatens Congress with all manner of disaster and destruction if they refuse to raise the debt ceiling.

A default would call into question the status of Treasury securities as a cornerstone of the financial system, potentially squandering this unique role and the economic benefits that come with it."
