We could add that Geithner never paid taxes like a real taxpayer either. Funny sound bit aside, his ongoing attempt to distance himself from Wall Street's leveraged decade is pitiful.

Truer words have rarely been spoken, and the WSJ has the details:
Geithner has worked in government his whole life. Before becoming Treasury secretary, he was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which is a government job but is closely associated with Wall Street. The New York Fed president is selected by a board of private sector bankers and other private sector officials but has to be approved by the Federal Reserve Board in Washington. Almost all of the New York Fed’s profits get turned over to the U.S. government.
