Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner issued a stern warning to Congress on Sunday, telling Members they must vote to raise the debt ceiling before Aug. 2 to avoid an economic catastrophe.
“There is no credible way to give Congress more time. ... They have to act by the 2nd,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Geithner predicted the country’s credit rating would be lowered and interest rates would spike if the government begins defaulting on its loans, which the Treasury Department has estimated will happen Aug. 2 if lawmakers do not raise the debt ceiling.
