Paulson Trying to Rewrite His Own History
I don't think anyone could have predicted how bad the situation would get. I thought it would be a bad year in Jan, but this way beyond my expectations.
Worse thing is Paulson don't understand impact of his decisions.
The Return of the $70 per Hour Meme
I watched some of the congressional hearing yesterday and what was missing (and correctly asked) was do you have plans for the bailout money and answer was disappointing. Senior management change is really needed and this can only come about with major change.

Proper regulations rather more or less regulation is required and full disclosure - no off the balancesheet activities should be allowed.
The One-Word Topic of the Day, and Week: Obama
Obama's doesn't have a magical potion up his sleeves - it may take more then 1 term of office to get out of the current mess! Then the next mess will probably spring up given US's printing presses are working 24 by 7.
