Larry: This is probably the best part of the article when Wachs says:Politicians debate whether this is the “Bush” or “Obama” recession even though neither of those gentlemen ever offered a sub-prime mortgage or traded derivatives. It was the wizards of finance who actually committed the acts that dragged the economy down, thus triggering what could be more appropriately called the “Goldman Sachs Recession.”
Hank Paulson Held A Secret Meeting With Goldman Sachs In Moscow

He and Treasury had had enough trouble trying to fend off all the Goldman Sachs conspiracy theories constantly being bandied about inWashington Moscow

Felix Salmon has the appropriate reaction:
How on earth did Paulson think this was OK? Goldman Sachs was a hugely powerful for-profit investment bank, and there he is, giving private chapter and verse on his opinions about the US and global economy, talking about internal Treasury matters, and previewing an upcoming (and surely market-moving) speech. All in secret, at a “social event” which somehow got kept off his official calendar. Oh, yes, and one other thing — the whole shebang took place in the Moscow Marriott Grand Hotel, in the context of Goldman directors joking about how all the Moscow hotels were surely bugged.
This is sleazy in the extreme, and will only serve to heighten suspicions that Paulson’s Treasury was rigging the game in favor of Goldman all along.
Newmark's Door: How Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan made their money
By Craig Newmark
Wondering how they made roughly $6.8 billion last quarter "trading"? Philip Greenspun's friend explains. (Taking the explanation at face value, it sounds quite bad for several reasons.)

Larry: Hmmm. They can borrow money from US at zero interest and buy bonds earning two percent??? Then they can even pledge assets to leverage more bonds. In other words, free money to invest. How about giving every American some free money to invest in bonds. Here is the exlpanation.
...He explained that “carry trade” would be a more accurate description of what they’re doing. Because of the Collapse of 2008 financial reforms, the big investment banks are able to borrow money from the U.S. government at 0 percent interest. Then they can turn around and buy short-term bonds that pay 2 or 3 percent annual interest. Now they’re making 2 percent on whatever they borrowed. They can use leverage to increase this number, by pledging some of the bonds that they’ve already bought as collateral on additional bonds.

Larry: I can answer that. Let's stop supporting them, take back their Federal Bank Charter because they are not a bank and borrow money from the Fed at zero interest for their own use not to lend. Stop the bailout and let them fail.
