    Chris Farrell provides some valuable information and insights, but I'm mystified that he would be "thankful" for the likes of Henry Paulson. This is the man who presented us with a 3-page ransom note replete with a demand for judicial immunity when our country's economy hit crisis proportions. He is extremely adept at shoveling money in the direction of Goldman Sachs, but I'm at a loss to identify any talent that could help us as a nation.
