Meeting Hank Paulson - any good question suggestions?

Going to keep this super anon but I have an upcoming meeting with him and already have a lot of questions of my own - wondering if anyone else has anything they would ask?

If I see a good one, I'll ask and pass on his paraphrased response here.

He can probably talk for hours about sears robuck and company. Also a former Treasury Secretary so tariffs maybe. He is a Christian Scientist so you can talk about that, ha. He loves the outdoors, esp birds of prey.  Tierra Fuego would be high on his list too. 

Oh, and ask him about his old friend Dick Fuld. They were old buds, until he refused to help Lehman and let it go bankrupt.
