A little more than an hour after the Senate vote, the 47-year-old former president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank was sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden and alongside President Barack Obama. Sarah Irwin reports.SOUNDBITE: U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner

  • great, now i can cheat on my taxes without the guilt and worry. I will have to rush out and get Turbo Tax and maybe get a promotion in our federal government to boot !!

  • It was said that some part of the commission didnt want to vote for him because he actually forgot to pay some taxes a while ago. I think thats the main reason why they chose him.

    The only way to reactivate the US economy is by CHEATING taking actions that are not right with the standard political conventioan of global economy. This proves the "UNFAIR" of economy in its daily applications.
