| 126. Not from Goldman Sachs, the number one recipient of all the TARP funds and all the AIG funds. |
|
There are hundreds of great economists out there with no financial ties to the biggest thieves in the story, Goldman Sachs.
you just can't see it.
you must read the Rolling Stone story. This has noting to dow with Obama. This is all about a group from Goldman Sachs who took over during Bush, caused the change in rules, stole our money, and are still in power running the Treasury Department!!!!!!!!!
Obama needs to fire anyone from Goldman Sachs and fast.
Your story reads as if you have not yet read about what is going on.
there are two threads up right now in latest with the Matt Taibi article which you should read. You will be shocked at who Geithner really is.
|
| -NOW we are getting to the heart of the matter: Goldman Sachs lobbyist is Geithner's Chief of Staff |
