Could've been 1,000 times more enlightening to handle the real moneychangers @ the Federal Reserve instead of these little guys.

Their TARP funds were not the only - or most significant, way Goldman wsas taking money from the feds. If the feds had'nt propped up AIG to cover GS's counter party claims, GS would be CH. 11 by now.

No one in that firm deserves squat this year or last.

Wow! That one went way over your head.

The "moneychangers" at the Federal Reserve are basically the board of directors for Goldman Sachs....

Key definition of the day is FASCISM.

If AIG (or Freddy Mac, Fannie mae or any of the rest of the American basketcases) were allowed go bust, the fall out would be castastrophic.

By the way who bailed out AIG? Henry Paulson.
