That’s where the really nefarious stuff shows up while they are distracting us with pyrotechnics or something.

The only reason George W. Bush still has a job is… Congress has declined to impeach him.

The only reason Congress still has a job is… 99 days, and counting!

it is REDICULOUS that we let him have ANYTHING to do with this recovery

what needed to be done, give him 50 to 100 billion TOPS, put some bandaids on the market until the election so that whoever is elected, obama or mccain, THEY own the recovery, success or failure

if the next president owns it, no excuses and they make CERTAIN everything is done that can be done

if the bush administration owns it, either new president can blame bush.

just obsurd we alow paulson have more money after all he’s stolen already

Why the hell should the U.S. Treasury recapitalize U.S. banks without owning those shitheads as majority stockholder and getting a seat on the board?

You ask why Paulson is still Secy of the Treasury. Well, Congress just passed a continuing resolution that left him in charge of Treasury, when it is their duty to oversee every dept and ensure that it is well-run, and when they could have refused to fund that dept again until and unless it was brought under minimally competent management. It’s called the power of the purse, and it doesn’t take the 2/3 of the Senate it would take to impeach and convict Paulson — it just takes the majority of the majority that decides what spending bills are allowed to come up for a vote. They could simply have passed a CR eliminating Paulson’s position, and that of all of Bush’s political appointees, and refused to pass any other funding for Treasury, and that would have been that.
