      Everyone who worked for Goldman Sachs in the past and is LOYAL ONLY to Goldman Sachs, they ALL now work in the Whitehouse, they ALL now work in the Federal Reserve, they ALL now work in Treasury Department, they ALL now Completely Control & Own Obama, Geithner, Bernanke, Emanuel, Democrats, Republicans, Congress. Goldman OWNS USA, it has Invaded the American Gov, it has Paid Obama & other politicians MILLIONS, Goldman created the Bailout, which ONLY Benefited them, they are now Richer than God.

      INVESTIGATE THE FED RESERVE, Economic Terrorist GOLDMAN SACHS, AND WHY OBAMA, WHITEHOUSE & GEITHNER ARE ALL OWNED BY THEM

      Matt is bang on, senior Treasury Department official with ties to Goldman Sachs answers to the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs, not to the American people. But this is only a symptom of a much greater problem and that is the corruption of Congress by the various lobby and special interest groups.

    4. Paolo7219 Says:

      This is why the Stock Market is going up AND there is NO JOB GROWTH. Goldman Sachs is taking their taxpayer bailout money and injecting it into equities–or things like oil speculation. That’s bad enough, but what’s REALLY bad is they are getting away with it! It’s indicative of how corrupt the US system is from top to bottom. Tragic. Repoug, Dem majorities. It doesn’t matter.

    5. marebitono Says:

      Maybe what happens with Goldman Sachs is the logical direction for Capitalism. You live in the age of something called “Late Capitalism” or some similar term. This is the way it is played. It is a game where the winner takes all and the loser can starve to death. It’s life or death! Want to change it? Build a Union! Start a worker owned business. Socialism is Capitalism for all. Capitalism is the Wild West, shoot em up style!

    6. tom474e Says:

      Deregulation is the problem. GS has former executives in many key places in govt, they can and do get any rule or regulation changed or removed they desire.

    7. tom474e Says:

      Goldman never paid back the 13 billion in tarp money they got from AIG. Aig Owed them 18 billion and with out it GS would have gone under. So when AIG got tarp money, 13 billion when directly to Goldman Sachs

    8. tom474e Says:

      These corporations have been pulling money from the middle class since Raegan was president. The top 1% has more wealth than 95%, and that is immoral.

    9. tom474e Says:

      We need to get Goldman Sachs out of our Government, there at it again with the price of oil. Trading in oil increased 11% this month and the price of a barrel is on the rise. These people belong in jail.

    10. Geoffrey2410 Says:

      Read The GREAT AMERICAN BUBBLE MACHINE. THE GAME IS RIGGED. GOLDMAN OWNS THE GOVERNMENT THE USA IS NOT FOR SALE GOLDMAN OWNS IT, CONTROLS IT,, CAN BUY AND SELL IT.

      THE CONSTITUTION IS GOOD FOR TOILET PAPER ONLY . IT’S A DISGRACE AND CROOKED TO THE CORE. WE’VE BEEN HAD BIG TIME.

    11. abdighazi Says:

      goldman is going down. perfect fall guy. taibbis piece is a cover up of the foreign intell connections to the aig citi goldman scam.

    12. abdighazi Says:

      Citi’s Rubin hired Geithner from Kissinger Assoc, to T. G. then worked for Peterson of Blackstone who chaired NY Fed Board. Rubin worked for Pet. at the CFR, as did Hills and Cohen, who were on AIG’s board, then working for Greenberg Ctr at the CFR. Rubin-Geithr-Peters ,more an intell op than a busin. corruption issue, espec when GS board is tied closely to BP-Shell Euro oil cartel. Taibbi covers this up by making GS. the top of the hierarchy, ignoring foreign oil, intell ties(Atl,Ptner.-CFR).

    13. TheMiguelGrande Says:

      Matt Taibi’s piece in Rolling Stone, was good. Goldman Sachs is the criminal section of the Fed that controls and rapes the capital markets worldwide. I just wonder what Matt’s game is. I saw Nat GEO’s recent propaganda piece on 9/11 and Matt was one of the govt’s key shills ignoring key forensic evidence and using cheap parlor tricks to debunk pure science. Maybe, his job is to misdirect attention from the true criminals while they make their getaway, Just like CIA’s Woodward during Watergate

    14. odh202 Says:

      Everything2: I guess GS didn’t need the TARP money then.

    15. alphecca2539 Says:

      Rolling Stone is for deep thinkers.

      Obama was on the cover, and he had a halo around his head.

    16. neoclassic09 Says:

      actually he is a writer for rolling stone… if you followed any of this you’d realize that he knows what he’s talking about.

      the fact that you’ve never heard of him yet there has been a massive uproar around his article in the recent rolling stone for the PAST THREE WEEKS makes it clear that you’re just an idiot troll.

    17. je5752 Says:

      So you work for Goldman you worthless shill everything2. Good to know.

      Regardless of what machinations Goldman has made, though, the real central evil in this catastrophe is the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is what pumped the economy full of cheap money. Without the Fed, Goldman never could’ve become a problem in the first place.

      The Fed Must End before anything else can be fixed or dealt with.

    18. everything2 Says:

      Oh my god the part about the computer program Goldman admitted could manipulate the market. WOW how dumb is this Matt guy? Damn very stupid guy. I never heard of him but I’d bet he runs some conspiracy theory blog with a bunch of losers living in their mom’s basement following it.

    19. everything2 Says:

      “If AIG went into bankruptcy Goldman probably would have gone out of business”

      That’s Ludicrous. First of all you talk about 20 billion. about 18 billion of that 20 billion was secured by 3rd parties. They would have only lost about 2 billion if AIG went bankrupt. Even if it was the full 20 billion that wouldn’t have put Goldman remotely close at all to bankruptcy.
