"Liquidity being pulled out worldwide" Why? "IMF facing first annual loss in decades" Message 22486128 That's why liquidity is being pulled back. The whole thing boils down to create a crisis and then having the IMF coming providing a package and rake in the cash!!! I don't think it is going to work this time around! "the so-called BRICs -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- topped the total reserves of the Group of Seven major industrialized economies." If they don't make anything silly that is.

Assistant of John Daniel Ehrlichman key figure in events leading to the Watergate first break-in and in the ensuing Watergate scandal, chosen as Bush new Treasury Secretary. This would be a muck throwing headline. But of course, we don't do muck throwing stuff in this thread :-) "Henry M. Paulson Jr. was just a few years out of business school in 1972 when he landed a coveted job on the White House staff for President Nixon. His friends at the time couldn't believe it." What coveted job exactly was this? Paulson was Staff Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon from 1970 to 1972. [3] He then worked for the Nixon administration, serving as assistant to John Ehrlichman from 1972 to 1973. He joined GS in 1974. I wonder why he left the coveted job!
