Publicly discussing the possibility of default, urging default as a negotiating tool in policy debates is--and I think I am quoting you--a 'dangerous gamble.'

Restoring robust economic growth in the United States strikes me as one of the best ways to achieve deficit reduction.

I would be eager to work with you... on a variety of both historical and prospective policy tools.

The one North Star is economic growth.

I think that has increased our borrowing costs.

Do you believe PIN technology ought to be enabled for credit cards as well?
