I saw the chart a few days ago and was thinking how ironic it was for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to go to Europe and try to council the Europeans on how to get a gripe on their dire debt situation.

I was thinking - it seems hypocritical for him to try and council foreigners when they are at least attempting to pay their way - whereas here in the US we are not even trying to pay our bills. We just print, print, and print more money whereas the European union is at least trying to find ways to cut back through austerity measures.

No wonder Germany's economic minister told him to bud out - I don't blame him at all.

6:40 its not the people of the us running up the debt its the politicians doing it wasting money every way they can.... The people are the ones trying to pay their own bills but the government simply finds more and more ways to screw us.... Timmy Geithner needs to be sent to prison along with Obarry and all the others that are robbing and stealing us blind
