Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson cautioned on Sunday that countries that turn to protectionist policies to try to escape damage from the global financial crisis may make it worse.
"Isolationism and protectionism will not offer a way out," Paulson said in a statement prepared for delivery to the World Bank's development committee.

Here we go. So the conspiracy theorists aren’t crazy afterall?
This is double-speak.
He means money from the US Treasury should be spent on foreign banks and businesses.
W, FIRE THIS ASS.
FIRE COX.
LET SLIP THE DOGS, W.
Paulson doesn’t recognize that “free” trade rotted the economy from the bottom up. He should be ****canned.
Yup! Protectionism hasn’t been heard in some time and the Democrats are the pacifists that spouted it. Screw the world, were OK.
There you go again. This one was from the top down . . . I’m surprised you don’t see it.
Yeah, it’s the formative moments of the world-wide financial system that is going to be put into place. It’s happening right before our eyes...
Oh, YOU again.
You're making the rounds today at FR aren't you.
I think I would keep my mouth shut if I was in charge of the mess we are now in! So far, he has been wrong about everything.
Yes, I’m pretty upset about this whole mess.
FIRE COX.
LET SLIP THE DOGS, W.
Ain't gonna happen. Bush and Paulson are BFF.
Interfaces (areas where one can exploit differential rates of taxation, etc) are some of the most marvelous structures in economics; they introduce strong mechanisms for expressing and relieving economic, migratory, and political selective pressures. Interfaces are what make federalism so great - via political 'natural selection' punishing bad policies and rewarding good ones. Interfaces and differentials preserve liberty in the long-term.
I am all but assured this is merely Paulson's prelude to calls for "enhancements" in the global socialist order. More Keynesian/fascist assaults on freedom, with American sovereignty abdicated to the like of the IMF, WTO, UN, etc. "And if you disagree, you are an isolationist populist know-nothing kook, probably with anti-Semetic tendencies..."
Question for the forum: let's say I got it in my head that everyone "deserves" a decent home, and decided to favor a government policy that makes it happen. Am I more likely to favor protectionism or free trade?
If you have difficulty answereing the above, substitute "decent job" for "decent home" and try again.
Remember "The Trilateral Commission" then the "CFR"? It used to be the 'area 51' 'tin-foil hat club' warning us about this and now it looks as though it's working as planned. George Jr. is following through on George Sr.

I fear that W has had a series of "Senior Moments" for some time now. And I can say that as someone who will be 65 this coming week.
If I EVER hear the words "Compassionate Conservative" again in my lifetime, I think I will take out my trusty .357 and .....
WTF is wrong with Bush anyways? Why in the world (with all of the highly qualified people) did he pick a liberal, moonbat, EnviroNut as his Sec Treas?
Didn't he learn from keeping Clark on in his cabinet?
If not, then surely Minetta should have shown him "the light?"
Oh no, much like McPain, he keeps digging his own grave deeper and deeper.
Sheesh, is it Jan 20th yet?
