Yup. King Henry Paulson. Don’t forget all the other bailouts already in all of this. I would say that we are approaching 2 trillion in the end. I find this interesting:

Maybe King is not the right word. Dictator Paulson might be a better way to say it.

But we don't even know who the Secretary of the Treasury will be for 20 of those months. For all we know, it could be Chris Dodd if 0bama gets elected...
