Paulson has more to answer for than that. When he was working at Goldman he pushed for raising leverage limits at investment banks to dangerous levels and at the treasury pushed for all sorts of deregulation. When all the leverage blew up and crashed the banking system he made sure his pals in the banks had their bad bets paid by off by the taxpayers. All these transactions need to be looked at more closely IMO We regulate casinos and let wall street run amok with our bank and taxpayer funds. It's crazy

"Every week Max Keiser looks at all the scandal behind the financial news headlines. This week Max Keiser and co-host Stacy Herbert discuss big bazookas, dead whistleblowers and Hank Paulson. In the second half of the show, Max talks to Jon Thorisson about the new Eva Joly Institute and Iceland’s ongoing fight for justice."

So, re. Hank Paulson ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Paulson ) in particular, please set 15 minutes aside to Ep 218 : http://rt.com/programs/keiser-report/episode-218-max-keiser/ !

He should be executed for treason.

OK. Try him first. Then execute him.

Or use the anti-terror provision of the PATRIOT Act to make him disappear into a black prison in Slovakia.

On second thought, better to do it all in public. Try him first, then execute him, all on live television.

In Yankee Stadium and on TV.
