Hank could figure kindergardeners milk money. He hired an adviser because China said he was stupid and Forbes said the same. It's sad the Law Makers even think because Hank held a title that he knows something. Everyone knows Hank just held the title as others did the work. Now I wonder will Hank's paid adviser need to hire an assistant adviser? Look we have money to burn and even toss away so who ever wants money just go to Hank. Hank doesn't have to account for a dime and he's spent all the 700 billion and Hank will be asking for more money before Bush's term is over. With a 100 banks closing looks like more people will lose their life savings soon.
