But where does it stop? Obama's budget cuts the DoD budget by more than 10%. That is a direct attack on national security. Why would any country that is profiting Billions of dollars a year help us remove a dictator that is giving them the money?

Maybe not investigate, but how about kick out the self confessed tax cheats? I simply use Giethner because of his position. He is either too dumb for his position, or he is too corrupt for his position. There is no other possible explanation. Personally I am not against an investigation into anyone suspected of tax fraud from any party. If they do not have the integrity to pay their taxes, then they dont have the integrity to hold their current position.

If I cheated on my taxes, should I expect the same treatment that Giethner got?
