Just wondering if anyone else smells a link b/w Goldman Sachs and the many people pushing this $700 billion dollar TAXPAYER bailout. Buffett offers his dire warnings re:the market and this bailout... but he just invested $5 billion into Goldman Sachs. It just seems EXTREMELY interesting to me that Paulson was the former CEO over at Goldman, the memo forwarded to Obama's team, regarding the House's Republican plan, before the meeting at the WH on Thursday afternoon came from a "reliable" sourse over at Goldman, Jim Johnson is on the board over at Goldman, Buffett is an advisor to the Obama camp and he just invested $5 billion into Goldman..... I do not know, but this really smells, um, "fishy" to me..... seems like all these people have A LOT more to gain from a $700 billion dollar tax payer bailout than they would with ANY OTHER plan. Sounds so similar to what happened to get us into this big mess in the first place... GREEDY people, trying to line their pockets at the expense of the American people, the American dream and the very foundation of this country.
Any thoughts?????????????
We are seeing, IMHO, a criminal conspiracy of massive proportions in this whole thing.
Like the mean old guy in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life", when there is a run on the bank they will buy assets for pennies on the dollar.
The bailout is the new global warming (now called climate change) SCAM..
Prey on people fears. Rush something through.... Total BS
I think Goldman Sachs is dirty, very dirty.
GS was one of the ones who somehow got out of a lot of the toxic securities.
So..maybe a stock investment in GS might make some more money. If you can’t beat them..might as well make some money on it.
There was some run up prior to Buffett’s announcement..so there was a leak some where. Probably insiders in Wall St. and DC stocking up.
I smell stink but I can’t put my finger on it and no one will confirm. Pundits say you can’t coordinate a conspiracy this big without it leaking. I’m thinking, “You wanna bet?” I’m not a tin foil hatter either and am usually the last to assume conspiracy...well, one of the last anyway. LOL
All I know is...there are no coincidences...especially 40 days before election.
If someone can source it and back it up, I would really like to know I’m right about this.
No stronger than the connection between, say, the Pope and the Church...
Nah, it’s all just a big coincidence....
GS had very little sub prime exposure. Ditto Wells Fargo, which is in prime shape to pick over the carcasses.
It’s no secret that Goldman is a Democrat controlled operation in which people are “groomed” for government jobs. Rubin, Corzine, Paulson, the list is endless. Obama supporter/Democrat Buffet throws money into Goldman, Paulson from Goldman rails that the end is nigh. Rubin et al from the Clinton administration had the hand in the repeal of Glass-Steagall, which led to huge profits in the financial fiasco, profits that were pocketed early on and to hell with the losses that have to happen sooner or later......the Goldman boys will just see to it that the American taxpayer (i.e. sucker) picks up the tab.

Nailed IT!!!!!
Goldman Sachs also was said to have lobbied over $43 million to Congress. It would be interesting to have the list of names and amounts. You are correct to see this as curious. It appears not as much a crisis of all finances as a crisis of Goldman Sachs that is hidden behind the dire warnings of the old CEO Paulson.
Robert Rubin ( Clinton treasury sec)
Hank Paulson < Bush Treasury Sec)
Gov and former Senator Jon Corzine former Goldman
Warren Buffet invest 5 billion with awesome 11% return on his investment , plus warrant to buy common cheap.
Stock had a high of 250.70 and low of 85.88 ( You think they need this bailout?)
I have been feeling something was quite right about this whole thing..and I think this thread may have just pointed it out.
The 20% to ACORN is after there is a profit if I remember correctly...but even worse is the way this will benefit Buffett.
No wonder Paulson was on his knee to Pelosi.
GS may be a member of the govt’s plunge protection team and therefore get preferential treatment..
