  1. U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (R) and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson testify at the House Financial Services Committee hearing on "Oversight of Implementation of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and of Government Lending and Insurance Facilities; Impact on Economy and Credit Availability" on Capitol Hill in Washington in this November 18, 2008 file photo. In September 2008, a turbulent month that saw the fall or near-death experience of industry giants like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, Paulson met with Bernanke numerous times. At the time, Bernanke eagerly backed a proposal by Paulson that was widely criticized for being way too thin on details, weighing in at a mere three pages -- and with nary a mention of Wall Street pay.
