Its hard to imagine a better endorsement of Donald Trumps economic policies whatever they may be, whenever he finds the time to explain them than the recent endorsement of Hillary Clinton by former Goldman Sachs CEO and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. As the man in charge of the biggest explosion of corporate welfare in world history the TARP bailouts, he defined himself as a sworn enemy of capitalism and a socialist when it comes to the capital markets. Socializing billions of dollars in investment bank, insurance company, and automobile industry losses with taxpayer dollars qualifies Paulson as deserving of the S-word label. As such, Hillary Clinton may well have found a new political and financial soulmate.
Paulson began his career and cut his political teeth with some of the sleaziest and most disastrous political hacks in American history first as a Pentagon assistant to the secretary of defense, then as a Nixon administration assistant to John Ehrlichman, the convicted Watergate felon.

Paulson and Hillary Clinton might as well be cloned twins when it comes to using their positions of political power to line the pockets of the wealthiest people in America in return for kickbacks and political support.

I would assume he is gathering the data and waiting for the appropriate time to load it into he repertoire of weaponry.
Getting appointed to Treasury saved Paulson $250 million in taxes, a lot of people don’t remember that. Plenty of payoff money to distribute.
Paulson was in Washington long enough to understand how depraved Hillary Clinton is. His endorsement tells us a great deal about the man's moral compass. (Absent!)
I know the man can be both corrupt & stupid. It just strikes me that the latter is the slightly more accurate definition of the two.
Details PLEASE!!
[When does W endorse Hillary?]
Shouldn’t be too long now. I expect daddy, bro Jeb and mommy to be on board, too.
Loved his brother Pat
What’s a bankster?
Getting appointed to Treasury gave him the privilege (and obligation) of divesting his Goldman Sachs holdings TAX FREE. Saved $200M in capital gains taxes.
The incorrigibly, egregiously corrupt are endorsing Hillary?
Wow, there’s a shocker.
