I had a meeting with the Republican Leadership today. It was eye opening- I didn't even know that they existed!



Anyway, that Cantor guy was pretty harsh. Spend this, spend that. I was with him until he explained that he was against all the spending- wow, can you imagine? After he left, I called in Geithner. We needed to talk.



"The Republicans are worried about spending" I said.



Geithner replied "I haven't heard that in 8 years, what's bugging them now?"



"Well, Cantor said we are spending more than we have, is that true?"



Geithner thought for a moment- you can tell when he's having trouble with a concept (which happens in most conversations). He finally answered-



"I don't think so.", but I needed more information.



"How can you be sure that we are not out of money?"



Geithner was thinking hard now- and then you could see the light bulb light up over his head.



"We have to have money left- we are not out of checks!"



Boy, was I relieved...
