No doubt Paulson and Co. will now go back to Goldman after giving them TARP money so he can reap the rewards.

If it was the commodity speculaters at Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, etc. that drove the price of oil up last year that resulted in the tranfer of several hundreds of billions of dollars to Middle Eastern countries, why should the tax payer now be required to help these same companies survive? Let traditional market measures play out and let them declare bankruptsy. Their executives and share holders who made tons of money last year during the runup of oil prices can now pay for the downturn.

No surprise whatsoever. This is a rip-off by the fiancial world of the rest of us and it’s plain for everyone to see
but nevertheless hard to believe.
Paulson is a life-long Goldman man, so no surprises there either.
What did you expect from bankers?
