Paulson is an idiot. Has anyone heard him speak at all over the last month or so? He's done virtually nothing right. And to give him absolute power would be a huge mistake. I don't think he's going to get that however, that's Congress' big stink about this Bail Out Bill right now.

Well I just judge if your telling the truth or your just a dishonest fanboy? If you are telling the truth thank you for the old character reference to a time before we went to Wall Street. I would need to meet him in person to get the feel if he is a genuine person. He has a hard job and I am not going to bash him without actually talking to him but I can't see how his plan is the best for the long term prospects of this wonderful country. I also agree that there is plenty of blame to spread around and poor mister Paulson had this drop on his lap and the problems started with Woodrow Wilson so he can't have too much blame. If your lying then you have just been caught so there.
