		<description>&lt;p&gt;more of the same from the Clintons. All of this is based on non public disclosures from the Bush people. At leas the Clintons could have asked for public disclosure. Their temporary proposal is just what they think is safe doublespeak.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;what are their beliefs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can go to wiki although their article is limited.  Or you can think about Tom Cruise.  My take is that they view the world as spiritual not material.  The kicker here is that they view physical problems: medical or economic as capable of being overcome essentially by the power of the will.  It’s a good religion for Type A personalties who have a “I got mine, Jack” attitude.  It is what scares me about Paulson, that if he just wills it enough, if he goes for broke (with our money) he will succeed not because his ideas are sound but because he made it happen.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The point about the $64 trillion derivatives is a good one.  This is a notional amount but it is a completely fantasy number.  It corresponds to nothing in the real world and Bernanke acts like it is absolutely normal instead of just and purely insane.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paulson now defending the derivatives market saying how it staves off collapses and failures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Except of course this one where they are the vehicle sending the whole financial system over the cliff.  Paulson I think was overpaid at Goldman Sachs by about $600 million give or take 50 cents.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
