Remember Hank Paulsen? He was the United States Secretary of the Treasury during the financial crisis.

Literally translated, Paulson warns of another financial ‘firestorm’ sparked by one of the following factors:

Too big too fail banks, the ballooning derivatives market, hardly regulated but rapidly growing shadow banks, and the growing influence of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could trigger another ‘firestorm’ at any moment.

Below are some staggering stats and numbers (source:Handelsblatt newspaper):

Too Big to Fail

The five biggest US banks have amassed $8.3 trillion in assets. That’s $2.5 trillion more than in 2007. The chart below compares the assets the five biggest banks held in 2007 with today.

      Hank calls for another fleecing of America for himself and his bankster friends. Is he going to kneel and beg again this time or just know there will be no jail time or even a slap on the wrist. This man should be in prison and not quoted as anything other than a criminal.

        Lots of people don’t realize that as GS head man, he handed out billions of worthless CDO’s to investors, governments and women and children without even being prosecuted. Instead he was bumped up to Treasury Secretary.

      Hank Paulson is having a financial crisis? I thought he was the expert. It keeps getting worse. He is a charlatan.
