I actually have a bit of respect for Paulson.
I have ZERO respect for him and Bernanke, when both were in front of Congress and whatever other hearings that had LAST YEAR, when they were saying how housing was CONTAINED and that it would unlikely spread into the economy.
Gee ANYONE with half a brain that saw what type of mortgage products were being sold, the way mortgage back securities were being chopped up and repackaged, knew how credit worked and how companies were intertwinced. WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING A MILE A WAY. And would have said it's quite possible the downturn in housing could spill into the greater economy!
NO they said the exact opposite! They had been saying that for a very long time, like the past year or 2. Until it was beyond evident how wrong they were. Now we continue to hang on every word these two IDIOTS say, and in Paulson's case, sometimes it's hard for him to even formulate words! And scarier yet, we continue to let these brain dead, conflict of interest having morons, make decisions for us?
SAD.
EDIT: Two morons picked to run our economy by the biggest moron of all, BUSH!
I knew this was coming because unlike King Midus where everything he touched turned to Gold. Everything King Bush touches, turns to abolute CRAP!
