The Hypocrisy Begins!!!!!

RepubliCon Senator Grassley, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, wants to see the tax returns of President-Elect Biden's nominee for Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellan, before "arriving at a decision."

Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said Monday that he thinks Janet Yellen, Biden’s choice for treasury secretary, “would get a favorable view” in the Senate, but noted that senators would need to review Yellen’s tax returns before arriving at a decision.

Grassley is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which is responsible for holding hearings on nominees for treasury secretary.

Grassley said that his panel must examine Yellen’s tax returns and other financial information before he can make a determination, according to Bloomberg News.

Funny, I'm guessing they'll examine them just after they FINALLY get BunkerBoy's.

If Trump can staff his White House with "Acting" Secretaries and "Acting" Directors, Biden can, too.

We need to move ahead. Without Republicans, if need be.

We just lost four years with zero (and less) progress toward solving America's problems.

This is the time to play catch up.

I sincerely hope the Biden Administration uses that excuse every single time the Republicans ask to see someones tax returns.

I'm tired of this shit from them, and they need at least some of it thrown back in their faces in a very public way.
