MSNBC put up on the screen during today's Senate hearing on the bailout, as Treasury Secretary Paulson was speaking, that he has a personal fortune of $500,000,000, presumably made during his time as head of the investment bank Goldman Sachs during the go-go years of the last 10 years.
I have a proposal. We will all agree to speak approvingly of his bailout plan, if he will in turn offer half of his vast, ill-gotten fortune back to the taxpayers as a good-faith gesture. Surely he can live the rest of his life, and pass on a tidy fortune to his heirs, with the remaining $250,000,000.
