Les Leopold: Break Up Goldman Sachs?
Goldman Sachs and the other major Wall Street institutions are still too big to fail. In fact they are even bigger than before. They should be broken into much smaller entities that are small enough to fail.

We didn't need this latest and most conspicuous instance of greed at Goldman to know that the compensation provided to the uppermost echelons of American business is out of control.

Obama needs to carry out actual heath care & financial reform. Needs to get things done instead of just talking and planning.

Why does the United State of Goldman get an earmark for $3 million? Hookers! The stress is tremendous when EVERYBODY hates you.
Waves hands in there air, fav's ya, and head out door for a very long run while the SUNSHINE is stiff free.
Goldman and Bank of Amerika run the markets along with Geithner, and beagle boy Ben. There is no free markets, only welfare capitalism and socialism for capitalism.

The simple answer is that GS runs our "gov" and it in turn is one of their biggest investors.
HOWEVER, this story should have gone deeper on the point about the security concern. See these magnates guide our ICBM's and in 1995 the "US Gov" let the Chinese buy the main company Magnequench Inc and then lock, stock and every bolt - they dismantled it and shipped it with all of the rest of the important manufacturing jobs back to China.
But, dont tell anyone cuz if the citizen realized that our ICBM's guidance systems were made by our biggest threat it wouldn't look so good. Besides why should we waist those bloated pentagon contracts on US companies that hire US workers what would make our most sensitive parts here and pay taxes. Clearly the "gov" could care less since 3 million in magnet world buys you nothing.

Why are you telling everyone? It'll spoil the party!
I have the thing for lodestones this one just set me off.
Don't you get tired of seeing these big corporate welfare queens driving their Bimmers and Mercedes to the Corporate Welfare Office to pick up their welfare checks.
Yes, while you work hard for your ever decreasing paycheck, these leeches of society live off of your tax money as they sit in their luxurious offices with $200,000 toilets. They then use your money to use the company jet for a weekend in the Caribbean, after which they come home to their multi-million dollar mansion.
It's time to end corporate welfare as we know it.
"The Family" sticks together.
What more is there to say? That's what bribery does. That's what corruption does. That's what happens when a foolish man sells his very soul for a basket of money ... which a great many of the members of the US Congress have very, very happily done.
Write your congressman and senators to open an investigation now on Goldman Sachs. The world will be amazed at what they find. People, we need to push for this and send a strong message to these crooks once and for all. Throw them all in hard core jail and see if they take the same risks.
1,000 convictions in S&L mini-CRISIS!
0 convictions in MASSIVE Wall Street Theft of $Trillions!
Shutter the Justice Department!
They are WORTHLESS!
No effort to work on the $TRILLION CR1MES but go after the small stuff that drops in their laps!
OUTRAGEOUS!
Well they didn't spend all that money on helping to elect congress men and women and not expect something in return. Maybe the Ethics Committee will look into this. Ha! Ha! Ha!
My rep is Larsen. He's given tons of money to military contractors. But here's the rip - the cities in our District, along with the public universities and colleges have to pay a lobbyist to get an earmark. So our cities, community colleges & public universities are using public money to pay for lobbying.
Takes the cake, doesn't it? You'd think the mayor of any of these cities should be able to call the Rep or Senator (or their staff) and request the earmark themselves.
Want to know if your rep is doing the same? Go to opensecrets.org. Find your rep/senator, then click the "other data" tab. In the Earmarks paragraph click on "see details."
I heard they would also be a part of the Rush Limbaugh deal buy the Rams if it goes through.These SOB are start to gamble again with taxpayers money.
Where else would that company Yacht come from? Come on now....
President Obama is being taken advantage of by the goldman vampire squid, which includes bernanke, summers, geithner, and the absolutely worthless mary schapiro at the sec.
we have created another stock market bubble in less than 6 months and it will pop and the little guy will lose his money again. just remember that i have forewarned you.
Aiko Aiko :)
