Actually, Paulson is far from the worst guy to have this power. He knows how the financial markets work, and he is competent.
However, if Obamanation gets elected, the next Treasury Secretary will be some hack like Franklin Raines.
Then, this bailout will become the biggest slush fund this world has seen since Oil-for-Food and it will be caviar and cabernet for all of the leftwing parasite groups in this country.
Sadly, I think the Dems are going to make that happen even if McCain wins.... not trying to knock McCain or the Republicans, but I don't think they have the gonads to stave off the parasites in our country!!
"If it's Raines, we're poorer..."
Oil-for-food is likely as not the source of most of the design of this scam.
That question needs to be asked of Obama: What assurance do we have that Frank Raines would not be your Treasury Secretary?
