If these foreign finance ministers are meeting with our infamous Treasury Secretary Paulson and his group of hangers-on, good luck to them. As we saw demonstrated in his "Al Haig" moment, he is out to take care of himself and Goldman-Sachs. He wants total control of the finances of this great country and no one person should be given that opportunity, especially one who is as ego-driven as Mr. Paulson. We have enough of that type of politician here at home in Illinois


Looks like a good old fashioned panic down at the Bailey Building and Loan.
