Another Cheater On Team Change
A second Barack Obama cabinet pick who for years evaded taxes suddenly became motivated to pay them during the vetting process and the administration famously known for promoting change wants Americans to forgive and forget.

A few weeks ago it was the cheating Treasury Secretary—considered by some to be a brilliant financial markets specialist—who committed an “honest mistake” when he forgot to pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes on his lucrative salary over several years. Timothy Geithner still got confirmed and now heads the crucial agency that promotes economic stability and ensures the nation’s financial security. Read More Here

Mascoma Corporation, a leader in cellulosic biomass-to-biofuels development and production, today announced former United States Senator Tom Daschle has joined the company’s Board of Directors. Senator Daschle represented South Dakota, and is the one of the longest serving Senate Leaders in history, holding the position from 1994 to 2005. He is a longtime ethanol advocate who has sponsored legislation and led Congressional measures to advance the renewable fuels industry.

“Senator Daschle brings substantial leadership, ethanol industry and public policy experience to Mascoma. He will help us think strategically about our business and bring relationships needed to develop production facilities,” said Mascoma CEO Bruce Jamerson. “I have known Tom for several years and am excited to be working together with him. He is an excellent addition to our Board of Directors.”

“Mascoma has a first class team of executives, scientists and researchers, and investors, complemented by leading technology for the operation of commercial cellulosic ethanol plants,” said Daschle. “As a U.S. Senator, I supported numerous public and private efforts to advance the corn ethanol industry in the Midwest, to the point that this is now a multi-billion dollar, domestic renewable fuels industry. I look forward to working with Mascoma, its investors, and its public and private partners to create a complementary cellulosic ethanol industry that spans the entire country, and other locations throughout the world.”

It takes our tax money to keep these ethanol plants above water and some of them have already went bankrupt! Obama, tom daschle and Chris Dodd has their fingers into the middle of the corn for ethanol industry and thats why they do not want more drilling for off shore oil. People when corn prices go up then so does food prices..just think of how many of our food products have corn in them. Not only did tom daschle not pay his taxes, but some health groups paid him 220k. All this is no more than pay to play and for the politicians to line their pockets with money.
