Turbo Timmy: Cutting Deficit With Spending Cuts Alone And No Tax Increases Is “Irresponsible”…
What’s irresponsible is Obama recklessly spending us into this catastrophe and then raising our taxes to get us out of it.
(CNSNews.com) — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Tuesday that a deal to raise the legal debt limit, which he expects to be completed in the next few weeks, will be only a short-term “down payment” on solving the nation’s debt problem, and that it would be “irresponsible” to reduce the massive federal deficit anticipated over the next ten years with spending cuts alone.
What is needed, he said, is a longer-term deal on a “balanced framework” that includes “revenue increases through tax reform.”
Geithner said negotiations with Congress over such a longer-term plan could be completed within the “next few months.”
In the vernacular, when the government changes the tax laws to extract more tax revenue from citizens it is called a tax increase.
“I think for it to work for the economy you need to have a balanced framework,” Geithner told a Washington, D.C. gathering of CFOs from major corporations.

I must say I am very surprised that Gethtner still has a job.
Off with his head!
barry’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, worked for Turbo Timmy’s dad, Peter Geithner. For Years! Coincidence???????
Timmy is a proven idiot. He’s as bad as WZ’s favorite waif Debbie-Wasserman(?) in that when they both open their mouths, nothing but moronic tripe comes out.
Never trust an elf. Little bastards.
The arrogance of Odumbo’s crowd is unbelievable. I’d laught if I wasn’t so close to screaming. Are we really supposed to listen to this asshole on how to “reform” taxes for anybody’s benefit?! That’s like asking zero with help on your golf game. A) he’s an idiot and b) he won’t help you if there’s even a chance that you might do better than him.
So tax cheat Timmy wants to raise my taxes. Ain’t that beautiful.
We need Sarah now. Run Sarah Run!
The commies cannot stand the thought of not having every last penny of OPM.
Bozo and his circus of clowns think they are hiding in plain sight. Twisted and deceitful rhetoric is their stock in trade. They think Americans are stupid and they can be fooled into going along with them.
Bozo and the media spin gives a whole new meaning to “The Prince of the Power of the Air.”
What’s irresponsible Timmy is not paying your taxes.
In the vernacular, when the government changes the tax laws to extract more tax revenue from citizens it is called a tax increase. (it has never been proven that a higher tax rate brings in more revenue)
If the Government actually wanted more revenue they would use a tax decrease to bring in more money. (history proves this has always been the case)
If you don’t know history, you are deemed to repeat it. Anyone heard of Carter?
Nice work from Herbie the Dentist.
First, it wasn’t dodging taxes- it was a “software error”.
Next, it wasn’t printing up cash like a banana republic- it was “quantitative easing”.
Now, it’s not raising taxes, it’s “creating a balanced framework”.
This braindead dunce needs to get back to the island of misfit toys.
Creating a friendly business environment to increase revenue will work better. Quit the class warfare rhetoric and help bring business back to this country – unless you are intent on making America fail – guess we know the answer.
God bless America, Israel, our troops and fellow travelers.
After being caught as a tax cheat, has Geithner ever paid his back taxes and penalties? You or I would be in jail.
@ WesternGal???? Sorry to be picky, but fellow travelers is a term commonly meaning communists and their sympathizers – other than that I would agree with the rest of what you said.
@Mn Jim – yeah, he paid his back taxes – miraculously, no penalties!
@ Thom NJ – well, I guess I’m changing the meaning then – are we not all fellow travelers here?
God bless America, Israel, our troops, and whatever else our fellow travelers should be called.
the fact that america has allowed that maggot to live is irresponsible
The fact this jackass isn’t in prison is irresponsible.
