What's up with this?


Senate panel confirms Geithner.




Have the Senate Republicans missed a golden opportunity? Maybe so. Rather than complain about Mr. Geithner's "relatively minor" transgression the Senate Republicans should have used this opportunity to discuss the convoluted tax code facing all American taxpayers. This is not a Timothy Geithner problem, nor a TurboTax issue as Geithner claimed. Flat out (pardon the Freudian slip) the real issue is the complicated nature of our tax reporting system. Why in the world do we need to create a system so complicated only an entire sub-culture of pocket protector armed accountants can make heads or tails of the returns?
