We’ll probably not agree then - as far as I’ve been able to tell GS sent the message to banks that it was just fine to gamble with the money of others.

I know. They went out and started offering mortgages. Although I'm pretty sure they offered mortgages under GS too.

Oh, did I mention the Savings and Load debacle from the 80s...once again, the feds took their eye off these people and they threw money were they KNEW they would never get a return

I'm pretty sure they try to make a return on every loan or investment they make.

LOTs of them went to jail. And they didn’t go to jail because they were trying to invest wisely.
