Goldman Sachs Posts Record Profits

Catherine and News & Commentary, July 17, 2009 at 3:07 pm

Goldman Sachs, the nation’s most powerful financial company, has reported the richest quarterly profit in its 140-year history: $3.44 billion between April and June. Goldman’s record profits come just one month after it repaid $10 billion of TARP money to the US Treasury, freeing itself from restrictions on year-end bonuses. We speak to Matt Taibbi, whose new Rolling Stone article argues that “Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression.”

Max Keiser: "Goldman Sachs Are Scum"

Goldman Sachs Max Keiser

"They are literally stealing a hundred million dollars a day. Goldman Sachs is stealing every day on the floor of the exchange. They should be in the Hague, they should be taken on financial terrorism charges. They should all be thrown in jail"

Well, at least one person says what he thinks.

You are forgiven, peaceandlove

The bonuses are a bit different from the profit anyway, I think. I read this in the paper too

It reminded me of how agri-business in Alberta profited after government bailouts. The rescue money was *supposed* to go to ranchers, after the BSE cattle crash in 2004. Most of it went to Cargill, a big U.S. multinational corp. Then - the profits -

The packers’ earnings before corporate interest and taxes rose $130/head, an increase of 281% (see page 89). [companies clumped together]

Let me tell you, there are spider webs all through Cargill, Monsanto, Clintons, yadayada, and this too.

Last year I heard jokes about Goldman Sachs of America. How exactly are they tied up with the Fed, or ARE they the Fed?

Thank YOU, peaceandlove - I watched this today. It's kind of interesting that Goldman Sachs' connections are to the Dems, and Blackwater-Xe to the Reps.

It's a mad, mad world
