Robert Rubin is a world class thief. When he was treasury secretary, he engineered the rescue of the peso [to the tune of maybe $40 billion] so as to save all of his buddies at Goldman Sachs. By his standards, $3 billion dollars is a petty larceny.

You took the words out of my mouth. The sole purpose of the Mexican bailout was to save the Christmas bonuses of his old buddies at Goldman Sachs et al. The Mexican people paid a price afterward, but the Wall Street moguls laughed all the way to the bank.

I was happy to see that Rubin was turned down. No doubt that any help to Enron would have been a big mistake especially with all the politicians on their payroll. Now I hear the media asking if it wasn't the administration's "responsibility" to help in order to save the employees. So if you help them or you don't help them, the media will make it look as if a "wrong" were done. I hope that they dig deep enough to nail a few RATS.

Don't forget about the hedge fund, International Capital Group (or something like that) that Clinton bailed out too. Again, for the Goldman Sachs of the world. Oh, but they are all liberals, so it's okay. As I have said on many posts:

Why is it that when a Republican administration is sought out for help and the Republican administration refuses to do so, is it a scandal? Conversely, why is that when a Democratic administration is sought out for help and the Democratic administration provides it, is it not a scandal?

I hate the press.
