Tim Geithner: “You need to show on the budget the full costs, the potential risks of loss associated with any type of loan or guarantee…”

You cannot govern a country if you commit never to raise taxes on anybody, because things change, wars happen, crises happen.

If Congress were to choose to try to defer everything... that would be very damaging to the interests of the country.

I do not believe there is a credible argument to make that uncertainty about our fiscal deficits or uncertainty about the design of regulation in Washington today is having a material adverse effect on the American economy today.

I definitely believe that Dodd-Frank has put us in a much stronger position than we were before the crisis.
