President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he would appoint Goldman Sachs President Gary D. Cohn as the president’s chief economic adviser and director of the National Economic Council.
Mr. Trump said that Mr. Cohn would be able to put his renowned business know-how to work for the American people.
“He will help craft economic policies that will grow wages for our workers, stop the exodus of jobs overseas and create many great new opportunities for Americans who have been struggling,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “He fully understands the economy and will use all of his vast knowledge and experience to make sure the American people start winning again.”

These are NOT the peop,e who brought us the financial crisis, the DAMNED government brought us the financial crisis BILL CLINTON demanded the banks give home loans to people who DID NOT qualify or they would face consequences!!! It was Barney Frank and his ilk that felt EVERYONE should own a home!!! Banks DID what they were told to do by a DEM administration!!!!
Are you “concerned?”
“Would you rather have some IVORY TOWER, never done ANYTHING in the real world, in that post? If so, you’re not very smart”
They want Michael Savage, Dr. Laura, or just some random guy from the radio or a blog, that knows nothing on the subject, but will just say stuff to tick off liberals.
Because the task isnt to turn the economy around.....just to troll the left apparently.
What do you mean liberals with TDS? It would seem that anyone that is put in Trump's stable from Goldman Sucks would upset his supporters more than any liberals.
Maybe you were not around when the Trump supporters here on FR were hammering Ted Cruz supporters because his wife was a board member or something high up the food chain at Goldman Sucks.
Possibly you need to do your homework before calling Trump supporters liberals
WTF!!!!! You were one of the biggest screamers out there when the line about Ted Cruz's wife working for GS was running around.
You condemned the Senator over and over again about leaning on the golden gate of GS.
Now the president-elect has named two of GS execs to his team and all is good.
What a bag of wind
All I can say is, 'what the heck is going on'??? Trump is picking the handlers of the GOPe for his cabinet...
“BILL CLINTON demanded the banks give home loans to people who DID NOT qualify or they would face consequences!”
Precisely.
Yea. This is seriously getting to be a little worrisome.
Drain the swamp? More like develop the swamp.
Seriously. These guys that Trump is picking ARE ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH OUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS! THEY ARE THE LOWEST SWAMP CRITTERS. FFS.
He knows how to move paper around for his own ends, not sure about economics. Goldman Sachs is a destroyer of wealth. Financial weapons of mass destruction came from them.
Does this mean GS now controls the White House...as it has over the last 40 years?
Yes, the killers of main street. Unleashed fiscal Armageddon on the US with derivatives and then got bail outs.
Connections, connections, connections!
Not sure why people don’t get this. They are under the direction of Trump so I have no problem with this. Put the same people under a Globalist and we’d be concerned
I’m not convinced of it.
In time I may see evidence of it. Until then, I’ll withhold criticism.
I wouldn’t mind Peter Schiff
FU.
Who better to tear down a corrupt system than one of the corrupted who doesn't want to go to prison?
“Goldman Sachs is a destroyer of wealth.”
Yep
