Where does the Goldman Sachs money go??
http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summ...?id=d000000085
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. -- John H For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v |

I try to divorce my feelings and spend most of the energy at observing and learning. Because at the end of the stock ticking day, it maters not a damn what I or you think, it maters how the market moved and why. People do have the real power, just that they don't turn their brains onto reality always looking for the lazy way out of their self made problems. So like a herd of sheep they follow the Mesiah Obama hoping for the quick fix, in the microwave and all is well. Hey, I don't deny the system is corrupt. That is why it is failing. Doesn't mean I can't make some money trying to pick and back producers. -- Socialism and statism are great as long as someone else pays for it. |

So? What are you doing to change it? Vote for the same old corruption parties like Rep and Dem? How about the Tea Party? New faces at least. Or start your socialist party. -- Socialism and statism are great as long as someone else pays for it. |

The government is very likely to lose this case simply because what Goldman did, while sleazy, was not illegal. They want to make it illegal. I suspect the result will be companies like Goldman will be split into two companies (like they had to be before the Clinton administration). There will be a brokerage company and a trading company, not one company doing both.. I suspect that whatever happens to Goldman will be in accordance with the desires of the powers that be at Goldman. Obama isn't going to shoot a gift horse. -- John H For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v |
