You miss the point.

Heidi Cruz is not responsible for the boardroom of GS.

GS is always hiring people that come with the right pedigree such as an Ivy League degree. Heidi fit the bill. She wasn’t politically aware enough to be privy to what goes on behind closed doors in the boardroom.

I know some very fine engineers and managers who were with Enron. Believe it or not, Enron had divisions that were top of the line in service work. But to taint each and every employee of that bankrupt company with criminal conduct is beyond the pale. It is the same with GS. I am not going to judge every employee of GS as guilty by association.

Heidi Cruz had nothing to do with Mortgage fraud. GS was one of many that is guilty on that issue but it’s a big company and the culprits have long since skated from justice. In any event, she had nothing to do with it.

She is paid a NY Wall St salary and I agree that NY Wall St salaries are obscene. They are similar in San Francisco. The cost of living is through the roof in those places. Rents or mortgages are typically $15k to $25k a month and that does not buy a palace. A liquid net worth of $10 million in NYC is not wealthy. It is well-off but it’s not mover-shaker money. A salary of $600k per year after taxes will come to about $32k per month. Living in that stratum within those parameters is comfortable but it’s not in the league of Trump.

Alright, that’s enough on this subject.

The issue is Trump and Cruz. The media and their flying monkeys are having a field day watching these fighters attack each other. Cruz people should understand that a win against Trump is a loss to the media, and a loss to the media is a loss in the election.
