What a complete ass and a fraud. Weeks after artificially propping up his former Wall Street friends with billions upon billions he has the nerve to tell others that food price controls only make the matter worse. Well Mr Wall Street, how fair is it to poor people across the world that never are able to join the economic boom periods and are trying to feed their families? Explain to everyone how this all works because this pontificating about his precious little "free market" that's never even close to a free market is rings hollow to everyone else. So when we give special tax rates to hedge fund traders and other Wall Street special interests, aren't we promoting the same "economic distortions" that he talks about?
Paulson would be doing himself a favor to get out beyond his Wall Street glass house and see how the rest of America and the world lives. Not everyone rakes in millions and buy without checking the price. Go fix the damned economy, promote wage increases for average people, clean up the Wall Street destruction that's dragging down the world economy and then come tell us about damaging price controls can be for the economy.
