This is a video of the Secretary of the Treasury, Tim Geithner, saying that there was no potential for a bond rating downgrade after the recent debt ceiling agreement by both parties.

So I ask you, should he now resign? If this is the people Obama is surrounding himself with for "expert" economic advice, what does this mean for Americans and the world?

Keep in mind that this is the same man who was discovered to have evaded paying his income tax. He then proceeded to blame the whole affair on Turbo tax and the complexity of the tax system. It was at that time he needed to resign.

If he is going to listen to these Keynesian embiclies, at least have the courtesy to have them keep their mouth shut regarding predictions of their policies.

Guess what, they will be wrong pretty much 100% of the time.

…these Keynesian embiclies…

So, what did Keynes say about uncertainty in the General Theory? Did Keynes think that governments should engage in deficit spending: (a) always; (b) whenever an economy was growing; (c) never; or (d) only under certain circumstances? What exactly do you think, based on your understanding of Keynes, is appropriate counter-cyclical policy? What is your economic definition of the “long run”?

That would probably be the result.

Obama's economic team is a joke. Not sure if Geithner resigning solves anything, though.
