It’s official… We have our first self-confessed tax-evader as Treasury Secretary. I wonder how the IRS is going to treat people who make “innocent mistakes” and choose not to pay their taxes under his watch…
What is amazing is not that Obama nominated him, it is that even those who should be opposed to such ethically challenged people being in charge of the treasury , voted to confirm him.
U.S. President Barack Obama (L) watches as Timothy Geithner (R) is sworn in as U.S. Treasury Secretary at the Treasury Department in Washington January 26, 2009. From L-R are: Obama, Vice President Joseph Biden, Carole Geithner, and Geithner.
Incidentally, I’m glad to know both President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden attended his swearing-in, I guess they were both busy when Hillary had hers…
