NEW YORK (AP) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Tuesday that if Republicans insist on passage of their budget plan as a condition for approving an increase in the nation's borrowing limit, they will be responsible for the consequences.
Speaking to a New York audience, Geithner said that Republicans would bear responsibility for the first debt default in the nation's history if they insist they will not vote for an increase in the $14.3 billion borrowing limit unless they win approval of a House Republican budget plan.
"If Republicans try to impose that plan on this country as a condition for raising the debt limit, then they will own the responsibility for the first default in our history, with devastating consequences," Geithner said in a speech to the Harvard Club of New York.

Funny words from a tax evader. Just like it’s always the bill collector who’s responsible for all those nasty little bills the debtor ran up.

Sorry Timmy. You libtards are responsible for this. From the new deal through the great society to national health care, you rotten, stinking, lying, spending, murdering, evil liberals, have been in charge of the government of the animating philosophy behind it. You sir and the policies of your party are behind mess we are in. So... blame the perps, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama, and your party’s god Marx. And let us not forget about your party’s abject control of the congress and the courts. Nope Timmy, generations of people just like you caused this. So blame yourself. Not people like me who are putting an end to it.
