Geithner Meets With GOP Freshmen

from National Public Radio

Tuesday's show vote in the House against raising the debt ceiling may not have been what rattled Wall Street, and the financial markets are somewhat accustomed to partisan shenanigans on Capitol Hill. The question now is whether the infusion of GOP freshmen, who so strongly oppose spending, will take this year's showdown beyond the brink. Thursday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner talked to the freshmen. NPR's Andrea Seabrook talks to Michele Norris.
