A Problem For You And For Me; But Not For Thee

Schumer, Durbin and Barney Frank See No Problem with Treasury Nominee's Tax Problems

(CNSNews.com) - House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told CNSNews.com that Treasury Secretary nominee Timothy Geithner is qualified to serve despite his failure to properly pay at least $34,000 in taxes. Other members of Congress, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) agreed, but some Republicans questioned the nomination. As Treasury Secretary, Geithner would oversee the federal treasury and the IRS.
