Who is henry paulson?

In 1970, fresh from the Masters program of the Harvard Business School, Paulson entered the Nixon administration, working first as staff assistant to the assistant secretary of defense. In 1972-73, Paulson worked as office assistant to John Erlichman, assistant to the president for domestic affairs. Erlichman was one of the key figures involved in organizing President Richard Nixon’s notorious “plumbers” unit that carried out illegal covert operations against the president’s political opponents, including espionage, blackmail, and revenge. Ehlichman resigned in 1973, and in 1975 he was convicted of obstruction of justice, perjury, and conspiracy, and was imprisoned for 18 months.

Utilizing his connections, Paulson went to work for Goldman Sachs in 1974. In a 2007 feature, the British newspaper the Guardian wrote, “Not only was he well connected enough to get the job , but well connected enough to resign in the thick of the Watergate scandal without ever getting caught up in the fallout. He went straight to Goldman back home in Illinois.”

out of government away from our money.

Ehrlichman was sleaze personified. Why can't some brave Congressman just tell "Hank" to go to hell. Such a response would illicit a standing ovation from the street.

nixon, wolfi, pearl, cheney and the rest of the PNAC gang in the early 70's.

Why do the American people put up with constantly having these crooks and criminals shoved down our throats? Is it any wonder things are so screwed up?

I say NO money - NO bailout. These companies made bad decisions, they should pay for their mistakes, not the American taxpayer. Let those responsible re-invest their millions in bonuses and other perks over the last few years to keep things solvent.

Anyone ever notice how the same crooks get recycled through the government?
cheney , rummy, paulson, ashcroft,bushes, gates, too many more of them and too many positions
in the government over and over again..i think it is time to train up an
entire new bunch in ethics etc and hire them and anyone that has been there through several
positions under the more or less criminal enterprises that have run our government for fun and profit should be fired or arrested.
