Time for Paulson to resign; Paulson's former firm to be among largest beneficiaries of bailout...
'It certainly pays to be Treasury Secretary if your former firm is a brokerage house, a new study says.

Goldman Sachs Group -- formerly run by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, and Morgan Stanley, stand to be among the biggest beneficiaries of a $700 billion US bailout.'

9. I heard he's resigning in January. What's worse is if Gramm succeeds him.
If McC wins, he would appoint Gramm - already said so.

What did he know and when did he know it.
