John Koskinen, facing a confirmation hearing at the Senate Finance Committee, also acknowledged the challenges: accusations of political targeting of tax-exempt organizations, the implementation of new subsidies and penalties under the Affordable Care Act, and $1 billion in budget cuts.
His nomination appears to be non-controversial. Koskinen has key support from Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont, who called him a "turnaround artist," and ranking Republican Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who lauded his credentials in the public and private sector. And a change in Senate rules last month means his nomination can't be filibustered.

The trust makes quarterly payments to investors of the income after expenses, which can vary each quarter. Over the past year the trust has paid out an average of $2.22 per quarter which would imply a yield of around 9.4%. The key point that investors must understand is that the oil in the field is a finite resource, meaning that it will run out. Under current projections it's expected that the trust will run dry around the year 2029. - [By Aaron Levitt]
