U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said a bipartisan agreement on the deficit would help small-business lending.
“If Congress can find a way to reach a bipartisan, comprehensive, balanced agreement to bring down long-term deficits that would help. It would be a sign that Washington works, is able to come together to solve some problems,” Geithner said today at a hearing before the House Small Business Committee. “That would improve overall confidence across the country.”
