Newt Gingrich Calls for Firing Ben Bernanke and Timothy Geithner

Newt Gingrich called on Tuesday night for the firing of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

"Bernanke spent hundreds of billions of dollars in secret bailing out business. There was no transparency there," said the former House speaker at the Bloomberg presidential debate from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.

Going further, Gingrich said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., should be "in jail" for their sponsorship of the Dodd-Frank financial law that conservatives have assailed as ineffectual.

"Politicians are at the heart of the sickness," Gingrich said.
