Default Where does the Goldman Sachs money go??

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs, one of Wall Street’s most prestigious investment banks, was also
among the many banks in 2008 and 2009 to receive billions of dollars in taxpayer
money to help it stay afloat. Like others in the securities industry, Goldman
Sachs advises and invests in nearly every industry affected by federal
legislation. The firm closely monitors issues including economic policy, trade
and nearly all legislation that governs the financial sector. It has been a
major proponent of privatizing Social Security as well as legislation that would
essentially deregulate the investment banking/securities industry. The firm
tends to give most of its money to Democrats. A number of high-ranking
government officials in recent years have spent part of their careers at Goldman
Sachs.
