Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (GYT'-nur) says the U.S. government "will never" lose its sterling credit rating despite big budget deficits and a newly increased debt limit that now tops $14 trillion.

Moody's Investors Service recently issued a warning that the government's credit rating could eventually be in jeopardy if nation's finances don't improve. The cost of borrowing would increase significantly if the ratings service lowered the credit rating, also known as a bond rating, for U.S. Treasuries.

Geithner tells ABC's "This Week" that will never happen.

>> Geithner should be in JAIL!

Geithner should be swinging from a gibbet, along with damn near all of the current adminstration.

Watch for the magic words, "US credit rating unexpectely downgraded.

Nothing to worry about if it's unexpectedly doncha know.

Lying SOB. How many of you realize that a global government can never be brought in if the USA is in tact. The goal is to bankrupt the USA in order to quicken the beginning of global government. Both parties support this, that is why government debt only goes higher and government always grows...

Geithner should be in a federal prison for tax evasion. Funny how the law has a double standard for commies.

Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion—when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing—when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors—when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you—when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice—you may know that your society is doomed. - Ayn Rand

uh ... credibility gap? ... isn’t this a guy that doesn’t know “how” to pay his taxes and he’s lecturing us on national debt? Sorry.

Using the “opposite rule” as a guide, he basically just said that the U.S. is about to default.

...leaving only 2 choices, 1) cut government in half now while we still can, or 2) watch government cut in half later (involving precious metals—lead, copper brass)!
