Today Congress has called Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke into their office to hear how bailout is going. Let’s see what they had to say.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Tuesday that the $700 billion bailout program was making progress despite increasing criticism of it in recent weeks.
Speaking before the House Financial Services committee, Paulson and Bernanke, joined by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Sheila Bair, stressed that they tried to respond as appropriately as possible in what has been a rapidly changing and painful crisis that has roiled the entire global financial system.
“I am very proud of the decisive actions by Treasury, the Fed and the FDIC to stabilize our financial system,” Paulson told members of Congress in his prepared remarks. “We have done what was necessary as facts and conditions in the market and economy have changed.”
If they’re proud I’m proud.
They wouldn’t lie to us, right? I’m just being paranoid when I think Henry Paulson is giving our money to his friends, right? That’s not the reason behind his push for no regulation, right?
Yea I’m just being paranoid….got to cut back on the acid-laced marijuana…
…I’m just kidding folks…we’re getting fucked…up the ass…without a condom…hard.

Hanky Panky Paulson lie? Former CEO of Goldman Sachs? The man who Congress can’t even get around to appointing the oversight committee they demanded when HP said he wanted no oversight? I’m not sure who is screwing who any more.
