Will Henry Paulson Pay For His Part in Our Financial Crisis
Here is an article from Businessweek Magazine that ran in its June 12, 2006 issue. The article chronicles Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's journey to the Executive Department. The article describes the former CEO of Goldman Sachs in this way:
Think of Paulson as Mr. Risk. He's one of the key architects of a more daring Wall Street, where securities firms are taking greater and greater chances in their pursuit of profits.
Now Paulson wants to bail out his buddies just as he will go back to the sector that created him.
My favorite quote regarding all of this is from Wandy Sykes,
Every morning they should have to go down to social services and pickup their paycheck. They should stand in line, pick up their checks and they can only cash them at the check cashing place next to the liquor store."
