This goes to the core issue of integrity and accountability -- not to mention foresight. This was not an accidental slip-up, and Geithner is not being vetted to be treasurer of the local PTA. It's also a damn shame, because he is so well regarded and qualified for the role on paper, but this raises legitimate questions about his fitness for the highest CFO job in the world.

Mr Geithner has paid all the back due taxes so, it's on with the approval for Secretary of the Treasury.
