Paulsen Admits on "Face The Nation"..$700B Just The Beginning
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 11:01 AM by lib2DaBone
In Typical Politician weasel-speak.. here it is! Paulsen ADMITS that $700B is just the beginning. Its going to collapse anyway.... don't give these bastards a DIME!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SCHIEFFER: You said last week that you thought this would cost $500 billion, that--or that
could be how much you wanted the authority to buy. Now you're saying 700.

Mr. PAULSON: I never...

SCHIEFFER: Is there a chance it could go higher?

Mr. PAULSON: I never said anything about 500. When I talked to Congress, I talked about...

SCHIEFFER: Well, that was the number that was going around.

Mr. PAULSON: Well, it may have been reported. But when I talked to the congressional
leaders I said we're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars that is needed, and we will ask
for authorities up to a limit. And if that limit is $700 billion, that doesn't mean we'll go all the
way there or it doesn't mean that it--that it will stop there and We won't ask for more....

2. Why Can't Politicians answer the question?
Between Henry Paulsen and Sarah Palin.. These two speak in circles.. they couldn't tell you the correct time of day if they looked at their watch. They do the "Tap Dance Shuffle with Weasel Words".
