What’s all these hate I am reading against Goldman Sachs ?
Yes, they did ask the government for rescue money, but I believe that they were one of the very first people to pay it back.
They aren’t government owned or in debt anymore.
Do I detect a tinge of envy here in FR because Goldman made a ton of money and were one of a handful of profitable companies during the downturn ?
Do I detect resentment because their employees are going to receive outrageous bonuses while the rest suffer or lose their jobs ?
What’s gotten to us ? I thought conservatives are supposed to celebrate success and encourage more people to strive to attain it ?
He’s only 29.. wow.
UN F**KING BELIVEABLE!
At least that is what I've been told.....
Always liked them..never had a problem.
My point and the point of the article you linked is that the SEC was incompetent.
Appointing an industry insider may give the agency some street smarts which it sorely lacks.
Bull Crap!!!!!!!!
Goldman Sachs have taken so much taxpayer money through back door deals like AIG that is makes me sick. And that is just the beginning of it. It sure makes it easy when you have what amounts to a private door to the fed and the treasury, and congress. Granted that you can throw a bunch of the other big investment banks into the same pile of greedy dirty dealers.
We should have let them all fail. If we had then things would have been so much better than what is coming. Lending would have been returned to the small banks who make money the legitimate way, and don’t scarf ridiculous profit of from the consumer. Oil would probably be $30.00 a barrow right now. Bailing all these people out has destroyed the dollar and therefore a lifetime of savings. The investment banks are storing oil just to drive up oil, and then sell it at the higher prices. They and some of the big banks are selling all those crap mortgages to the taxpayer through the fed. We will eat them. I could go on and on. But the gist of it is that the USA, and the world is in a sad place right now because of the greed in the big banks. And the fact is that they made this MESS. They Did it! It is there fault! They committed ramped fraud, and they should all be locked up!
Soooo...they really ARE rubbing our noses in it....
If Al Capone were alive 0 would put him in charge of the IRS.
