Seems There Will Be Tax Hikes for the Middle Class…
By PUMA Pundit on August 3, 2009
Can anyone claim to be surprised? It is amusing that tax-cheat Timothy Geithner would actually say taxes are probably going to be raised for Middle America, but it is what it is… AP President Barack Obama’s treasury secretary said Sunday he cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit, and his [...]

It makes no sense to put a tax cheat in charge of the treasury… PRN U.S. Senator Susan Collins today announced that she will oppose the confirmation of Timothy Geithner, who was nominated to be U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.
