This is our old buddy, the diminutive egghead Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner, in Washington this afternoon at the National Press Club, being interviewed by the editor of Newsweek, Jon Meacham. Here\u2019s the question for Timothy Geithner from Jon Meacham, &#8216;You have two children. The deficit over the next ten years is expected to hit $11 trillion. How do you feel about saddling your kids with that debt?\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125110.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" class=\"alignright\"\/>GEITHNER: We face again this deep recession, damaged financial system. And our immediate imperative still is to get growth back on track. That requires us to do things that are expensive, that cost money, in the short term will raise deficits. At the same time we do that, we have to commit to Americans, to investors around the world that we\u2019re going to be able to get back to living within our own means when the crisis passed and when the recovery is established, we\u2019re going to have to get back to living within our means. And that\u2019s going to require demonstrating to people we\u2019re willing to stop doing things they\u2019ve been doing, give up things that we don\u2019t want to give up, and that will be a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whoa wait a second, who\u2019s he talking about here? Because I know damn well he\u2019s not talking about the government giving up things. He\u2019s talking about you and me and apparently his own kids. So it\u2019s our fault. All of this is our fault. The reason we\u2019re in a recession is our fault and the government, to save us, has to spend all this debt, all this money. And once this crisis is over, we\u2019re going to have to get back to living within our means and that\u2019s going to require demonstrating to people willing to stop doing things we\u2019ve been doing, give up things that we don\u2019t want to give up, and that will be a challenge. What\u2019s going to be the challenge? They\u2019re going to make us. They\u2019re going to make us give up these things. So there\u2019s your future, from the Treasury secretary of the Obama administration. You caused this, you gave us this recession, your irresponsibility, your desire, you wanted too much. You haven\u2019t given enough back. Now, when we get out of this recession you\u2019re going to have to give up a lot of things. We\u2019re going to have to return to a more austere lifestyle. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Gotta listen to this sound bite, folks.
