Gee, wonder if the fact that Paulson worked for Goldman Sachs has anything to do with it? I'm sure we can trust him, though. He did take an oath to uphold the Constitution, after all. I mean, if Cheney can start a war with lies then give his former company an unlimited no-bid contract then why not. That has worked out well, no? Paulson can cite plenty of precedent. I heard today that one of Paulson's aides leaked a memo that said they were preparing to buy back GS's bad debts at above market rates. Socialism for the rich elite seems to be the exception to their free market rhetoric.
