Has Goldman fatally damaged their Franchise?

[quote=UCGal]As a progressive/Dem… I have to say I’m very disappointed in the Dems. I expect bad behavior from the GOP. When Obama appointed Geithner and named Summers as his go to guy I knew it was more of the same under a different political label.

I’ve come to the conclusion that only politicians who are at odds with their parties will introduce decent stuff… Blanche Lincoln most recently on financial reform – but Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich don’t have problems thumbing their noses at politics as usual. Maybe we need more dis-enfranchised, alienated, elected officials. Ones that are willing to challenge convention because they’re already on the outs with the insiders.[/quote]

Couldn’t agree more with everything you’ve said there. The Democrats have been extremely disappointing, and Obama is at the top of that heap.

BTW, yes, as a fellow native Californian, “dude” is gender neutral. 😉

dude may be gender neutral but i think sometimes it i said slightly more delicately to refer to a female, perhaps a little flatter and broader for a dude? not sure…

To argue that they were the recipient of a “bailout” or some back-room largesse on the part of the Fed is simply unsupported by the facts.

Wrong! Government Sachs clearly benefited from information from the government which wasn’t available to non-insiders:

i don’t care or understand what we’re talking about. But it seems unlikely any of us really knows really what’s going on big picture.
