I have written about this before, but this has continued to bother me. The illegal immigrant that he had employed in his house does not bother me so much as that he did not pay his taxes, but still received compensation that he is supposed to receive only after he paid his taxes. For an average person who does not pay their taxes, then can go to jail, but in the Washington DC culture, you get a promotion. Only in Washington DC can this occur where bad deeds are awarded with prizes and awards and promotions. He said it was an honest mistake, but this mistake occurred over a number of years. So if he screws up our financial system, will he just state that he made another honest mistake and that we should not worry because he is sorry. Of course people do make honest mistakes all the time, but not paying your taxes for years and taking in money that is undeserved is not an honest mistake. This person can't pay his taxes, yet he wants to take charge of the United States' treasury.
Also, which I completely missed until it was brought up on the Glenn Beck show on Fox News, Geithner is the one who devised the whole TARP mess. So again, another honest mistake I guess he could say, but thanks to the DC culture, he gets a better job. This should not be a partisan issue, instead it should be a common sense issue, but in Washington DC common sense seems to be consistently lacking. If Republicans do not oppose Geithner for the sake of bipartisanship, well I do not know what to say really because recently I have called the Republican Party dead, but could then the party become really dead. I know Senator DeMint will probably oppose Geithner because he is the only true conservative that conservatives can trust in the Senate. The question is will others stand with him in opposing a man who can't pay his own taxes, yet wants to run the IRS. I truly hope so.
