Any relation to Hank Paul...'John' Paulson. Any relation to Hank Paulson??<br /><br />Hank Paulson on the blogosphere:<br /><br />Hank Paulson was a star in that world. When he left as chief executive to become Treasury Secretary in 2006, Goldman awarded him $110 million in cash to cover remaining stock options and restricted stock, in addition to $51 million to repurchase family shares. These payments were on top of the approximately $500 million in Goldman shares Paulson sold when he joined the government.<br /><br />Posted by: Ugly American | September 27, 2008 at 03:54 PM<br /><br />Good article, insightful comment as also. Always good to hear from our friends in the U.K.<br />I'll get to the point. Anyone remember the 1995 $500<br />Billion bailout? (it almost identical).<br />Well, Henry Paulson was the architect of THAT little nightmare also. ( he was CEO of Goldman-Sachs from 2000-2006. He then somehow landed this job...Hmmm.<br />Again, his conditions are "no oversight, reviews and NO legal charges for any of his cronies!<br />Moreover, this was the "Keating 5" Scandal".....of the 5 senators who were caught.....yep, John Mcain. How curious Instead of a bailout, I hope they just get bail, heh.<br /><br />Posted by: Jean-Claude | September 27, 2008 at 07:26 PM<br /><br />I would also suggest this is a part of the "globalization" agenda.... I saw it today for the first time in a news article quoting Paulson, as a cure for what is ailing us. Also remember Paulson wants to use the money to bail out foreign banks as well.Myrtle Blackwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427043367624101075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-72445529420944088672009-11-15T14:38:56.590-05:002009-11-15T14:38:56.590-05:00What's the other leg: "move interest rate...What's the other leg: "move interest rates with your portfolio" and "fellate Bush and Cheney on election or pay the consequences" were the same leg, weren't they?<br /><br />(One could also fairly ask why this would surprise anyone other than an economist, but it is clearly posted as a signpost, not a surprise.)<br /><br />Btw, fairly certain the first comment (from "nice") is spam.Ken Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440837287933536370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-68950347031054509582009-11-15T12:09:07.150-05:002009-11-15T12:09:07.150-05:00"... the Alan Greenspan Chair in Economics ....."... the Alan Greenspan Chair in Economics ...."<br /><br />is actually a two-legged stool.Shag from Brooklinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312591102812315460noreply@blogger.com
