Timothy Geithner: Congressman, we're proposing a budget that takes the huge mess we inherited and cuts the deficits dramatically.
Ryan: You can blame Bush only so long.
Geithner: It's just a factual thing. Again, when I left the Treasury in 2000 it was surpluses on OMB and CBO’s around as far as the eye can see. When we came in, it was a deep trench.
