View Full Version : Paulson For Treasury
John Snow Resigns In a Cloud (http://www.knx1070.com/pages/40875.php?)
So John Snow is cashing in his investments in railroad companies for millions gained from administrative policy, and a leader of a secretive investment firm (Goldman Sachs) is now nominated to replace him and reduce the number of Snow's back down to one.
What policy is to change with regards to the treasury? What does Paulson know about border patrol, and what will be his plan for interfacing with the guard if that plan comes through? Will he cause the administration to reverse it's plan to send Guard troops to the border?
Robert Rubin, Clinton's treasury secretary, came from oh so secretive Goldman Sachs when he became treasury secretary. When he left he joined Citigroup, one of the biggest bank holding and credit card companies on the planet.

Oh. I did not realize that you set the Clinton decisions as the gold standard for decision making.
Liberals like you make me sick.

Far from it.
Just pointing out the hypocrisy.
If you people are going to continue to try and manufacture a "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" under every rock you really need to do a much better job in picking what to use for material.
Google, the uneducated's worst nightmare.

Now that's just damn funny! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Nobody, no matter how ridiculous, has ever accused ME of being a liberal. Maybe a few Poly Sci classes are in order to learn the difference.

No far from it. #What you are doing is changing the subject as you always do. #Whenever a current issue is raised you try to slam Clinton. #Which is hilarious, your obsession with Clinton from a decade ago. #
Also just for the record Clinton is rated in the top 5 of alltime greatest Presidents, left office with a 67% percent approval rating, presided over a booming economy, America was respected and admired around the world, reduced the defecit, etc. etc. etc.
You want to compare Clinton with Bush? Everytime you bring up Clinton it reminds me of what it was like having an articulate, smart, hard working, leader as president.
Bush has failed at everything he has touched from unecessarily invading Iraq for WMD, the incompetence after we got there, Social Security, Schiavo, Dubai ports, Katrina, Harriet Meyers, the Frist- Delay- Abranmhoff- Libbey, Rove corruptions and indictments, Wiretapping, Abu Gharib, Guantanomo, Record spending and defecits, Oil Prices, Immagration. #Yes I would want to change the subject too!!

Maybe EFA needs some reading comprehension classes. You and XR can carpool.
Show me the exact spot in my post where I slammed Clinton. Nowhere did I slam either Rubin or Clinton. I actually really respect Bob Rubin for the job he did fighting Bubba's and the democrite congress at the time's penchant for spending money. If anybody can claim credit for the economy in the late 90's it's Bob Rubin and Alan Greenspan.
Please also show me where I mentioned Bush in my post. I didn't, you and the other little pit Yorky brought Bush up, not me.
I'm not the one who called Goldman Sachs the "Secretive Investment Firm". Lemme get this straight, GS was an upstanding corporate citizen while Rubin was there but since Snow is joining the organization it turns into some "Secretive Investment Firm".
Get some counseling.

You seem like a Liberal to me, that's how ridiculous I am. Are Poly Sci courses available for distance learners, like from another planet?

Quote[/b] ]After 137 years as an independent firm and 7 years as a public company, Goldman Sachs exudes mystique as no other firm does. As finance has globalized and banks have completed their transformation from secretive private partnerships to still largely secretive, bureaucratic public companies, Goldman has retained its intrigue.
NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/31/business/31place.html) The media refers to GS as "secretive". I followed their lead.
First you had been laudin' (get it, Bin Laden?) Clinton's decision to choose a GS executive, then you said that you do not mean to sound like you respected the decision of Clinton, then you call me a hypocrite, and then you think others need counseling.
Okay? Why would you view Google as a nightmare?
I was wondering if the boarder patrol would be stripped from DHS and go back to the treasury department as this is such a hot button topic right now. And FEMA has been talked about as being stripped from DHS as well due to the lack of control. Maybe with trusted leadership in the Treasury department, the responsibility can shift?
What policy will change with this position changing? I wasn't bashing Bush, I wasn't bashing Clinton, and I wasn't saying anything bad about anybody. Bliebitornot. I was trying to give people a chance to pull out their own Xtal ball and look into the future and say what they see is to come, and I am accused of hyprocracy. I don't see the charge against me, I really don't.

I knew that Snow could do nothing and would do nothing but foillow the GWB agenda. I don't know what Paulson will be able to do. I did hear that he has had experience with the economy of China. Maybe he should be the Chinese Secretary of the Treasury. He might get more freedom to use his good economic experience in China.
I remember what Snow said when he was asked about the financial condition of the USA at a congressional hearing. He implied that it did not make much difference how much the U.S. government borrowed. I guess if that is so and the administration really believes it is so...then maybe it doesn't make much difference who is Secretary of the Treasury of the USA..

I'll give ya the others, but ya can't blame W for the current state of illegal immigration. Libs in Cali'f have been screwing this up for years.
Now granted he IS in a position to do something about it.. And completley failing. Along with the libs and poser conservatives.

Why do we often change the subject to illegal immigration? IMHO we need to build higher walls not just to keep immigrants out but to prevent citizens from escaping in the event that thay have to be drafted into services to bring democracy to the countries that immigrants want to come here from. I kid you not... because otherwise our finest and most affluent and educated youth will all flea to Sweeden. This iMHO is not to be overlooked in preparing for future wars on terrorism or unprofitable socialism.

Easy to say, but thousands have not been able to. And we have to live with that.
