Worried about the explosion of debt under President Obama?  Don't be.  Another Obama Cabinet nominee is paying her taxes.

Reports ABC News:

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama's nominee for to be Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, has amended her 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax returns, the Obama administration disclosed Tuesday, on the even of a major world economic summit in London.

The HHS Secretary-designate asked a CPA to review her taxes before her nomination was officially sent up to the Senate. The CPA found the problems, and Sebelius and her husband wrote a check to the IRS for $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest.

The president's strategy is obvious:  he plans on paying down the deficit one appointee at a time.
