Reply #17: Tim Geithner should NOT be confirmed at this time

[JFKfanforever]

Geithner's overlooked tax due from his days with the IMF
should have been cleared up (with interest and penalty) years
and years ago.  After-the-fact payments made solely for
prudential personal gain are more than suspicious!

In addition, there seems to have been an IRS-denied claim for
his children's summer camp fees ... ???  .... of between
$4,000 and $5,000.  Every taxpayer knows that you cannot
legitimately claim a luxury retreat in the woods as either
child care or education.  Why didn't Tim know this?  

The Treasury Secretary of the USA is tasked with having the
IRS under his umbrella.  Geithner's umbrella leaks big time...
He may be brilliant and a protege of Bernanke as well as
Paulson, but these factoids are immaterial. Character counts! 
Tim Geithner should be denied confirmation on ethical grounds
at this time.  At some later date, perhaps it could be
reviewed.... but not now. 

Caesar's wife must be above suspicion and so must the
President's Treasury Sec.  Going forward, we need a squeaky
clean team!
