This from the man who can’t even be bothered to do his taxes correctly, but who was installed as head of the IRS anyway.


Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner 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.

Geithner says in an interview broadcast Sunday that in times of economic crisis, international investors will continue to buy U.S. Treasury bonds because the bonds are a safe investment.

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.

Really?

Fitch downgraded Greece’s credit after Greece ran up its deficit to 12.7 percent of GDP last year.

The UK’s credit rating outlook was lowered to negative by S&P last year after their deficit rose to 14.2 percent of GDP and their debt to nearly 62 percent of GDP.

What the bloody fuck makes you think we’re immune, Timmy?  Your boss’ economic policies haven’t exactly inspired confidence, you know. 

I have a great credit rating.  But I guarandamntee you that if I run up debt at the rate you and your pals are doing, my credit rating will be slashed.  Not immediately, but it will be. 

Here’s a clue, dumbass: you. are. not. immune.

But you are arrogant and ignorant. And you’re one of the ones who should be booted, as Doug Wilder suggested.

Now go sit in the corner.
