'It's Going To Be Bumpy'.(Business)(economy of United States )(Interview)
Byline: Jon Meacham
President Barack Obama has said that Tim Geithner, whose job coincided with a credit crisis, faces more challenges than any Treasury secretary since Alexander Hamilton, the first to hold the post. Geithner chatted with NEWSWEEK editor Jon Meacham in Washington about the deficit and the financial crisis. Excerpts:
Has the economy bottomed out?
Things have clearly stabilized. You're seeing some improvements in credit markets. It took a long time for these problems to build up; it's going to take time for us to work through them. It's going to be bumpy. Even as growth starts to turn positive, which will happen, unemployment is going to keep increasing for a while.
You have two children. The deficit over the next 10 years is expected to hit $11 trillion. How do you feel about saddling them with that debt?
Our immediate imperative is to get growth back on track. It requires us to do things that are expensive and in the short term will raise deficits. If we were to not do those things, then future deficits would be higher and growth would be lower.
How big a political problem do you think the deficit will be going forward?
