Hank Paulson, Matt Taibbi and Goldman Sachs

Many of those who have run, and are running our government's economic program are former employees of Goldman Sachs. This is not a good thing.

"Hank Paulson never should have had that job in the first place. He had a $700 million conflict of interest, and everything that he did while he was Treasury secretary, every single thing that he did, has one explanation: What's good for Hank Paulson?"
-- Florida Rep. Alan Grayson on MSNBC

And If you've got the time and patience, Matt Taibbi, probably the best investigative reporter working in America today, posted a VERY long and very detailed article in Rolling Stone regarding the role of Goldman Sachs in the housing bubble, the oil bubble and the collapse of the world economic system.

The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who's Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.
