What if: Hank Paulson doesn't return to Wall Street and Goldman Sachs?

Builds a global banking empire?

Competes head-on with Goldman, Morgan, and other domestic and foreign banks? What if the money comes from offshore, from Asia and the Gulf? He's a red-hot brand! Expect a mega-IPO in 2009.

As the market drops again today.

Many are starting to realize that Paulson has sold out America via his Trillion $ bailout with handouts/ear marks to every liberal organization in America.

People gravitate to what they are comfortable with...this is often evident when people change jobs...what they tend to do at their next job...

Paulson is a financial instrument trader in his core being...it is what he gravitates to especially in times of stress....

I may be nuts but it seems to me that they, whoever they are, are trying to rip every dollar possible out of our economy.

My son has a mortgage with countrywide. A bank that is belly up and being sold. He got an offer for insurance from this bank today and he also got another letter offering him a consolidation loan. They say he must respond by Nov. 16.

Now how can a company that is out of business go around making loans?

I should probably ad that my son has had this loan for only 11 months, but he put down more than 20% and he has made every single payment and on time....a novel idea I know:/

As America and Wall Street wake up and realize what a fiasco for America, Paulson's BailoutGate is. The market has taken a severe hit the past 5 days.

Actually, B of A bought out Country Wide.

Your son is apparently a good credit risk.

I posted yesterday that those of us with good credit ratings will be receiving great loan offers. This actually started this July and continues today and will continue.

The reality is over 90% of us are paying our mortgages on time, off our credit cards or on time and other debts. The non payers for the most part should have never gotten loans.

However for many deadbeagts the loans and now non payment were a form of reparations going back decades.

I knew Countrywide was sold, which is why I wonder how it can be makinng loans. Sell off all your toxic paper to the taxpayer, keep your mortgages that are good and go on as usual.

“handouts/ear marks to every liberal organization in America”

Don’t forget he and his lib friends in congress refused attempts to block bailout money from going to bailout foreign banks.

Taxpayers are going to provide “friendship” money to Europe.

“Don’t forget he and his lib friends in congress refused attempts to block bailout money from going to bailout foreign banks.”

Absolutely.

That was what the emergency really was all about. Paulson was trying to head off the economic downturns over seas after those companies bought the Fredie/Fanny Fraud/Wraps his past company and others sold them.

Look at WaMu, its new ads are bragging about the new owners.

“Sell off all your toxic paper to the taxpayer, keep your mortgages that are good and go on as usual.”

Actually that has been big business for banks since the end of the Civil War.

One thing that started this was the 1992 Federal Reserve Bank of Boston's report on ‘redlining’, where local banks wouldn't lend to people with out jobs, in high crime, low collateral neighborhoods.

The Boston Fed Bank proposed like good little social planners and general all around Masters of the Universe that, basically, banks should be forced to lend.

This was in 1992.

The head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston was Richard Syron, long time Democrat donor.

Flash forward to today, 16 years later.

Richard Syron was fired a month ago as the head of Freddie Mac, where in two years he managed to pull down 20 million dollars in compensation.

Nice, eh?

As we move ahead with this debacle.......we need to see SEC filings (and amended filings) to determine whether Paulson registered one or more offshore companies to “act as intermediaries between bailout entities and institutional agencies and investors to facilitate introductions and resulting investments.”

IOW government fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.

The companies may have the same personnel listed at home addresses-—and might establish offices in offshore banking havens.

Notorious money-laundering havens include: Lebanon, Liechtenstein, Israel, Russia, India, Panama, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, the Cook Islands, Dominica, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Panama, the Philippines, St. Kitts and the Grenadines, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Monaco, Antigua. Tortola, BVI.

Yes, there is credit for people with good credit ratings and a good history of paying it back. Not much credit for those with bad ratings and poor histories of paying back on time.

We should put this into a jar, seal it, and bury it for a couple of decades, and then open it to see how much came true.
