"Goldman & Sachs are rich liberals who love Big Government."

GS employs 30,000 people. Are these people rich liberals?

Even if they were, how does your statement relate to the article? Seems to me there is no relation: the report merely states economics fact, and you read into it something nefarious. "Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar," as noted by Freud.

You remark is akin to hearing, "Physicists claim that water freezes at 32 degrees," and responding with, "Those damn liberal bastards."

Doesn't make much sense.

"GS employs 30,000 people. Are these people rich liberals?"

Irrelevant. What matters is the political beliefs motivating forces behind the directors of GSach's operations. The rest must follow directions.

" You remark is akin to hearing, "Physicists claim that water freezes at 32 degrees," and responding with, "Those damn liberal bastards." Doesn't make much sense."

It makes quite a bit of sense when one notes that Alec Phillips, used to be a political analyst for Goldman Sachs. Now he's an "economist" pushing political objectives.

I can’t tell if you are trolling or just dumb.

Not when held by a Clinton.

the report merely states economics fact

The report is someone at G&S's opnion, not fact:

•The spending cut package that passed the House of Representatives would have a deeper effect. Under the House passed spending bill, the drag on GDP growth from federal fiscal policy would increase by 1.5pp to 2pp in Q2 and Q3 compared with current law. However, we don’t see this scenario as likely; while we expect discretionary spending to be cut, the current House proposal doesn’t appear viable in the Senate, and the president has already threatened a veto.

Their opinion is that cutting government spending as proposed by the House will cut GDP by 2 percent. In other words, they ONLY way G&S sees to stimulate our economy is to have the government intervene. Not exactly a conservative ideology.

And the number of employees they have is irrelevant. It's the management and G&S that is doing this report. That was a silly argument.
