Matt Taibbi on how Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation
since the Great Depression
Highlighted by rbshocker
Fast-forward to today. It's early June in
Washington, D.C. Barack Obama, a popular young politician whose
leading private campaign donor was an investment bank called
Goldman Sachs — its employees paid some $981,000 to his
campaign — sits in the White House. Having seamlessly
navigated the political minefield of the bailout era, Goldman is
once again back to its old business, scouting out loopholes in a
new government-created market with the aid of a new set of alumni
occupying key government jobs.
