Hank Paulson: "Never Ask a Barber Whether You Need a Haricut" (Cowboy Wisdom)

I got this bit of "cowboy wisdom" from a radio commercial for an antibiotic (animal antibiotic, I think, although it is not imortnat):  "Never ask a barber whether you need a haircut!"  (There were other gems, like:  "Never drink downstream from the herd.")

 

To listen to the mainstream media (more irrelevant and totally worthless every day), they have never heard things like this.  From the beginning we have been "asking" Hank Paulson whether we need a Wall Street bailout.

 

Hank Paulson is a Wall Street guy.  He was CEO of Goldman Sachs for some 10 years (right in the middle of all of that "greed and corruption"--up to his eyeballs in it, in fact) before becoming Secretary of the Treasury in 2006.  He did nothing in the two years he has been Secretary of the Treasury except arrange Wall Street bailouts.  See the previous entry as to how Goldman Sachs was the primary beneficiary of the AIG bailout, and the only private party allowed at a meeting concerning that bailout.

 

Nope.  We have asked a barber whether we needed a haircut, at the very time this particular barber (Paulson) should have been fired.

 

As I have stated, the only reason the mainstream media and Democrats have not crucified Paulson before now is that Pualson is essentially a Democrat (in philosophy, for sure, as was known before these bailouts), trying to protect his Democrat friends (John Corzine, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, is now the Democratic governor of New Jersey)--proposing a basically leftist Democratic bill to bail out Wall Street with socialism.  Why should Democrat politicians and the mainstream media want to criticize hiem?

 

It is all unbelievable.  As I have said before, it is like Dick Cheyney proposing to bail out Halliburton (although Cheyney really had less involvement with Hallibruton than Paulson had with Goldman Sachs and Wall Street).

 

There is no excuse for listening to Paulson on bailing out Wall Street.  He should have been fired.  He still should be fired.

 

 

P.S.  You may have noticed that AOL has reset the counter again as to "hits" on  this blog.  They do that peridocially, for no apparent reason.  A more paranoid person would suspect a conspiracy, and that Hank Paulson is involved. Luckily, I am not paranoid.  Nor do I care about the counter.  One reson I am not paranoid about it is that the real count does not show a large number of "readers" of this blog.  Some YouTube videos evidently get more than a million "hits".  This blog, despite providing more useful information than most of those YouTube videos, has not received as many as 100,000 "hits" in its entire existence.   Maybe AOL is trying to do me a service.  Since they keep resetting the counter, I could claim a million hits myself.  Who would know?  Okay, anyone who has seen this blog before would know, and the daily "hits" would give you a clue.  Still, maybe AOL (which I have advised everyone to leave, while I remain as a mole until the bitter end) was trying to help me (lol).  NAH!!!!
