Jim DeMint, a GOP Senator from South Carolina, said President Barack Obama should “demand” Geithner’s resignation “and immediately replace him with someone who will help Washington [to] focus on balancing our budget and allowing the private sector to create jobs.”
DeMint added: “For months [Geithner] opposed all efforts to reduce the debt in return for a debt ceiling increase. His opposition to serious spending and debt reforms has been reckless and now the American people will pay the price.”
Republican presidential hopefuls congresswoman Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota and businessman Herman Cain have also called for Geithner to quit.
