But as unpalatable as it is to bail out the wealthy financiers whose greed got the economy into this mess--and to do it, no less, in an election year when voters are already furious--the trio maintained that not doing it would be even worse. "We just haven't communicated as well as we need to. The average American looks at this as being about Wall Street. They're angry, and I'm angry too," Paulson said.
