Have anything lying around the house that you know you’ll never use again?

With this current economic meltdown, do you wish you would have re-thought at least some of your spending during the good times? Are you asking yourself the same question that millions of Americans are asking themselves as the DOW continues its ascent towards the 1970’s?

Hey Paulson…where’s my bailout?

Some friends of DoubleSpeak just put up this really funny site. Take a second and ask Secretary Paulson to buy your shitpile!

Hilarious.

Henry Paulson says that ‘tax cuts don’t pay for themselves.” Think Progress has more on this Bush contradiction.

Treasury Secretary John Snow resigned his post this morning and will be replaced by Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Henry M. Paulson Jr.

From the Associated Press:

Treasury Secretary John Snow has resigned and will be replaced by Goldman Sachs Chairman Henry M. Paulson Jr., a senior administration official said Tuesday, in another chapter of a White House shake-up to revive President Bush’s troubled presidency.

Bush was to announce the changes in a White House ceremony later Tuesday.

Snow, the former head of railroad giant CSX Corp. who has a Ph.D. in economics, has been Treasury secretary since February 2003. His departure has been rumored for more than a year.

Paulson has been chairman of Goldman Sachs for about eight years. It is considered one of the premier financial firms on Wall Street and has sent a number of its top executives to high positions in Washington.
