Goldman Tuesday here at Smart Remarks, but you know what? It needs to be.
This is Elliot Spitzer on Goldman, asking the key question around the 2:00 mark - the U.S. government/taxpayer - that would be you - has pumped billions into the financial system. Is it generating any jobs? And if it does not - shouldn’t the spigot be turned off?

Watched all 12 minutes...WOW! very worthwhile.. Spitzer talks about how outraged Americans should be and he thinks we are outraged about the $700,000.00/employee Goldman is making with our tax bailout money while everyone else is losing their jobs around the country and that once Goldman's numbers are released this outrage will get Congress moving on ramping up regulation...HAH! the only media reaction has been...Goldman has record profits!...markets up worldwide!...thank heavens the economy is getting back on track!...What a bunch of numbskulls...sheep being lead to slaughter...I guess we get what we deserve... |

I may not have been as "wowed" by the actual speaker on camera, but I would have read what they had to say. I wasted 20 minutes trying to get the first 10 minutes of the darned interview! Dude, you lose too many readers by posting too many vidie links. Just post the text - we can read. |
| Bustina di tè 7/16/09 12:52 AM | Those are Obunko's Wall Street Bankster buddies you are talking about Gil. Remember how they made that "mistake" that let that first round of bonuses "slip" through? Really interesting how our governments works. After they passed legislation mandating higher fuel mileage and lower emission automobiles the government told the Big Three automakers they could not pool resources to improve engine efficiency and lower emissions. That was a no-no because it would violate anti-trust laws. But it's perfectly OK for banks to buy up other banks until the become "TOO BIG TO FAIL" I guess it depends on who's palm you grease (or didn't grease) in Washington. I used to say BushCo a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Oil. Looks like I'll have to change that to ObunKo a wholly owned subsidiary of Wall Street. |
