Hey Timmeh

Kiss my ass

(Reuters) – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Wednesday that there was no alternative except for Congress to raise the debt ceiling so that the government can keep borrowing.

“Congress has to do it. There’s no alternative,” he said in response to questions at a House of Representatives appropriations subcommittee.

He repeated a warning that it would be have “catastrophic” consequences for the economy if the debt ceiling was not raised and the country defaulted on its debt obligations.

There is an alternative: quite spending so goddamned much money. There’s no need to raise the debt level if Congress and the White House would stop spending more than we have. Cut all programs across the board by 10% and start eliminating programs and departments and agencies.

    That’s one alternative Geithner and Obama will never accept.

    I’m sure these idiots think that someone will bail THEM out.

    Hate to break it to you, Timmeh, but there’s nobody left. Or maybe we should forward this to his office for perusal?
