July 12th, 2007 "This is far and away the strongest global economy
I've seen in my business lifetime."

CNN

April 20th, 2007 "I don't see (subprime mortgage market troubles)
imposing a serious problem. I think it's going to be largely
contained."

Reuters

May 7, 2008 'The worst is likely to be behind us,' Paulson told the
paper, in one of the most optimistic comments by a top U.S. finance
official since sub-prime mortgage losses set a domino effect in motion
in mid 2007.

Forbes.com

August 10th, 2008 ``We have no plans to insert money into either of
those two institutions,'' Paulson said in an interview with NBC's
``Meet the Press'' broadcast today from Beijing. He added that their
earnings results were ``not a surprise.''

Don't equate Paulson's being wrong with lying. What is his motive to lie ?
Will lies hold back a tidal wave ? He could be lying but what could be the
motive ?

Gee i dunno... maybe a promised cushy management position at AIG, GS or
JPM after he leaves gov, with all the sweet perk $mil bonuses, golden
parachutes, etc-- the lifetime setup ?

he'd be getting his cut of the very money he's appropriating now.

He's trying to drive the markets down so that he can sell his '83 Ford van
and then buy control of GCOG!!!!

What.. You though he wouldn't? (lie)
The whole administration is worming about the economy.. When both sides
of Congress do ANYTHING in concert as we saw this past week you just
know that things are really REALLY bad.

They probably have NO IDEA just how bad it is..

Fed Chairman Paulson.. is lost.. and looking in his eyes I see fear...
The U.S. Public dos not like this... But see it forced on them..
It signals the beginning of something we will not be able to stop.

..Cushy position and lifetime setup...
Seems this is everyone is Washington's desire...

Now public executions of failed leadership.. Now THAT would be a strong
motivator...
