I agree. As I said on another thread, we should have a public protest on Aril 15th where we burn our income tax returns and refuse to send them any more money!

I think that might get their effing attention!!

We should all innocently and accidentally forget to include a portion of our income for six years.

That’s right. They can’t arrest us all.

And for many people who have just lost their jobs due to the recession caused by the Demoncraps they can’t afford to pay their taxes anyway. Let’s give them a reason not to - Geithner didn’t!

There's nobody in the Senate echo chamber between speakers. For the Dems, Chris Dodd lied and blamed Republicans throughout his speech supporting Geithner. Harry Reid too.

I'm sure they are dragging someone else kicking and screaming out of their plush office to speak next.

Obama is using this post election period to ram all this bad stuff thru...to include closing Gitmo, thugs and thieves for his cabinet....etc.

I wish our pubbie guys had some gonads. They do, however, have fine tans, polished fingernails and head hairs that do not move from their appointed places.

How about having contraceptives as part of the economy stimulus package?

You can’t make this stuff up.

If the Secretary of the Treasury doesn’t have to fill out his tax forms honestly, then no one else has to. He sets the precedent.

The Congress signing off on this guy would only “confirm” what we already know: that we are no longer a “nation of laws”. The governing class will dictate what happens and who we are to answer to. Screw them all!

It's the "relief" part of the package, described a feminist to Cavuto earlier.

Pepto Bismol is deeply saddened to be omitted from the relief package.

A baby is a personal economic stimulus package all wrapped up in a diaper and a blanket.

We are in this economic mess because our birth rates have stagnated.

Why not? A Kenyan is in the White House.

This is worse than buying a jet with bailout money. Geithner'a a short term solution to a long term problem - what a disaster.

Harkin (D-IA) is also going after Geithner’s problematic handling of Citigroup’s financial statements.

I’ve contacted both of my senators offices to request they vote no on Holder and Geithner.

As the Arizona Daily Star put it,

"There were a few days there in October when you could not completely rule out the possibility that the next treasury secretary would be Joe the Plumber."

Of course that never happened. Turns out Joe the Plumber owed back taxes.

Indeed. Look at how Europe has lost all individuality because of its low birth rate. Not to mention having to import Muslims to fill the void.
