Can you really with a straight face that you see no evidence of GS being part of a world cabal to bring us into globalism, which is really just worldwide socialism, which is the end of freedom??? I have a hard time believing that you "see no evidence." <br /><br />The financial elite who control the world are not "freedom-loving, free market capitalists." I don't buy it. I think you're playin' us.<br /><br />Speaking of financial and political things, what did you think of the Dow dropping 666 points right after Trump's speech? The markets are manipulated and this was a message. These people speak in code and this was a direct message.

Wow, that is truly scary! I still don't get how some people thought that Cruz was a better candidate that Trump. Cruz did not make enough of an effort to distance himself from GS and I for the life of me cannot see how so many people missed that point and actually thought he was a better candidate than Trump.

In fact, the opposite is true. Those in government bend over backward to avoid any perception of favoritism,” Blankfein wrote in the letter, which was paired with a group photo of Blankfein and his two new COOs—a position where Gary Cohn sat in years past. “That is why we will continue to encourage our people to contribute to government service if they are fortunate enough to be asked.”</i>Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-4565872531380371472018-02-05T14:19:14.185-06:002018-02-05T14:19:14.185-06:00I do agree with the sentiment that Trump has put t...I do agree with the sentiment that Trump has put too many people from Goldman Sachs into positions. I like Trump and am a firm supporter, but I do very much disagree with putting Goldman Sachs people into power. What I don't get is many of those same people who are "never-Trumpers" think that Lyin' Ted was a better candidate. What?! How can anyone be that naive? Unless I'm missing something, I didn't see anything in his campaign that distanced himself from GS further than Trump did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-74801676150550033212018-02-05T13:53:03.418-06:002018-02-05T13:53:03.418-06:00Lessee....feds give a huge incentive for banks to ...Lessee....feds give a huge incentive for banks to merge, then complain that they are too big to manage.
