"I would not bet against the American Worker" - Hank Paulson

This fiscal stimulus will provide support to the economy as we weather the housing correction, capital markets turmoil and higher energy and food prices. Unemployment remains low and increased exports are partially offsetting other less positive factors. Overall, I believe we are on the right path to resolving market disruptions and building a stronger financial system. We are working through this period and our long term prospects remain strong. One thing is very clear to me � whatever our current difficulties, I wouldn't bet against the U.S. worker or the U.S. economy. - Hank Paulson (source: http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/hp981.htm)

Truer words were never spoken by our current "financial leader" Hank Paulson. It is apparent that a monkey making random choices would have done better "work" than our current "financial worker" Hank Paulson did. As Hank so praises the American worker, why not let the American worker suggest and design implement a solution to the current (2008) monstrous wall st. welfare and bailout. Given Paulson's leadership this is surely to be the beginning of a great depression.

It is not an accident that Hank refers to "American" and "worker". He trusts the "American" to be obedient "workers". But these same "workers" must not involve themselves in the domain the of the "responsible men". No, the "obedient workers" need to be smart enough to work the machines and do the paperwork (to paraphrase George Carlin) but never open their eyes to areas of the "responsible men".

Why is it a person's being is tied to their "job"? Why is insurance tied to a "job"?

I would rephrase our "financial monkey" Paulson's statement to: "I trust in the spirit of all people."
