Wrangling??? Paulson is asking to be handed a $700 BILLION blank check and become a Monarch with absolute power with no legal or court recourse. Are you serious it's wrangling to want to know more before we hand him a check? Isn't that kind of lack of thinking that got us into a $1 trillion dollar Iraq war???? I think you need to reconsider. It is very possible that Paulson is wrong and that he has the best interests of Wall street at heart and doesn't give a sh*t about Main Street. The fact that he is asking us to trust him just on faith with $700 billion of our money without any legal or court recourse is just plain stupid. On the other hand if you are in the stock market and margined up to your eye balls and hoping for Paulson to bail you out, then I feel for you. But not doing your due diligence is probably what got you in this mess. And what got congress to support Bush for his lying and criminal Iraq war. A trillion dollars later, don't you wish everyone had done more "wrangling" then too and asking more questions?
