The Geithner Angle

Perhaps hiring a tax cheat to head the Department of the Treasury is a good idea.

Can you think of a better man to find a way to keep loopholes closed and criminals paid in full than having an authentic grifter in charge of compliance? After his criminal career was on ice, the protagonist of "Catch me if you Can" lent his expertise to the government in tracking down very sophisticated criminals. Perhaps this would work in a similar way. It takes one to know one, and it might take one to stop one.

End the practice of tax cheating. Hire a cheat!
