The Parable of the Troubled Assets Relief Program

Then went the CNBC executive producers, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

And they sent out unto him the Money Honey saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

Shew me a dollar bill. And a CNBC network intern brought unto him a dollar bill.

And he saith unto them, Whose signature is this on the bill?

She said unto him, The Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson's.

Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Paulson the things which are Paulson's; and unto God the things that are God's.

When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him for a commercial break.
