Geithner: U.S. 'absolutely' should get rid of debt ceiling

(Huffington Post) Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the U.S. ?absolutely? should get rid of the debt ceiling as soon as possible.

?It would have been time a long time ago to eliminate it,? Geithner told Bloomberg TV on Friday. ?The sooner the better.?

Geithner did not commit to personally doing anything to eliminate the nation?s legal limit on borrowing. When pressed on the issue, Geithner told Bloomberg TV: ?This is only something only Congress can solve. Congress put it on itself.?

?Only once, last summer, did people decide to use it to threaten default on the American credit for the first time in history as a tool for political advantage,? he continued. ?And that?s not a tenable strategy for the country.?
