“If Goldman Sachs went down the tubes tomorrow we all would be better off !”

If they had gone down in 1929 then we would be in a much better place today. You can thank these wall street bankers for bringing the country down time and time again. But this time they are going to bring it to its knees. I doubt that we will be getting up and returning to life as we know it.

Its funny that the American taxpayer is paying for all of this corruption via things like tarp. And no one does anything except whine. These guys wont see a day in jail over this. Not a day.

Unfortunately, this probably adds to the necessity that Goldman Sachs keep the obama regime in power to protect its interests

I’m reading Ann Barnhardt every day. She is the only onw shouting the alarm from the rooftops. The financial markets in the U.S. are completely unstable,unreliable and untrustworthy as it has been proven there is no rule of law and customers segregated accounts can be taken over (stolen) with no prosecution. This is just grand theft on a humongous scale. It’s no worse than if a foreign country came and took over a section of the U.S. and just physically by force took over a few banks and all the money in them, and no one did anything about it.

I agree with her, it is crazy to be in the market right now!

And again, I hear crickets from our 5% approval republican congress. Yep, I said our republican congress...is it our fault for the 5%, NO, but if Boehner and company doesn’t dispell the 5% myth, then we will get blamed because to win in 2012, you have to not only defeat the candidate but defeat the MSM also, and he and they are NOT DOING THAT!

Crickets from EVERYONE on this development on Goldman and MF Global.

Now we know why Goldman has donated so much money to Romney. It wasn’t just about Cap and Trade, but also about covering up Goldman’s roles in the looting of MF Global.
