Pardon the vanity in breaking news, but we can not link to USA Today articles and the Labor Secretary is about to be voted on this afternoon.
The link above can be followed to find the article in keeping with no direct linking to USA Today policy.
It was learned just hours prior to the confirmation vote that the usband of Obama's Labor nominee paid tax liens that had been outstanding for as long as 16 years.

Don’t forget Blago and Obama go way way back together.
If Obama had been elected in 2006 not 2008 Blago would have been on the cabinet.

I take this as a good sign, really:
this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Dimocrats really DO believe in lower taxes!

“I have a good friend who works on installment agreements for the IRS (shes the one who processes the applications and figures out the payments etc) and says the phone people will be found curled up in corners whimpering.”
Are you saying the “phone people” IN the IRS offices sometimes act so? What are you implying- that they are sympathetic to delinquents’ plights or just driven to disorder by the sophistication of excuses?
Are they on a quota of performance?
Is there any rational explanation whatsoever for their behavior? How long historically have you seen this? Have the standards been dropped in hiring people of some character?

This is the same nominee who refused to discuss her War Against the Secret Ballot unless she could testify in secret.
She didn't get the President's memo on "transparency."
Who's on the vetting team? Are they Republicans????

Tax Snafus Add Up for Obama Team Records at the Los Angeles County recorder's office showed there were 15 outstanding state and county tax liens against Sayyad and his business, totaling $7,630.57, not including interest. Two other liens worth $981 were released in 1999 after he repaid the taxes owed, records show. A tax lien is a legal claim filed by the government to collect unpaid taxes or fees.

Camelot? Don’t you mean Babylon? The Kennedy family has nothing in common with Camelot, except for the fact that Sir Lancelot had an affair with Queen Guinevere.

We could go back to pre-inauguration and add Bill Richardson’s nomination/withdrawal, if you wish to compile all of his nomination follies.

I’m talking about people who deal with people who purposely evade taxes and working out payment agreements with them. Now these people who use every excuse in the book will use this. Yes there are people with legitimate tax problems but 99 percent of these people just purposely overclaimed exemptions etc.
In fact one of the tricks illegals use is to claim 9 exemptions so no income tax is taken out (and that’s the max you can claim without filing special paperwork with the IRS)
By the way Geithner et al would not be able to have this job either because you need to have a clean tax record.

Here’s what I saw, following your link: you cannot post full text or excerpts from USA TODAY, USA WEEKEND, and USA TODAY Sports Weekly. You can link, apparently, so I stand corrected.
