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 |

It is probably why Obama is in a snit with Goldman, not enough bribes. -- Socialism and statism are great as long as someone else pays for it. |

I thought it was because the majority of voters were afraid that if McCain were elected, he'd die in office and Ms. Moron would be president. -- The Tea Party's teabaggers are just the Republican base by another name. |
