Goldman reveals where bailout cash went
Goldman Sachs sent $4.3 billion in federal tax money to 32 entities, including many overseas banks, hedge funds and pensions, according to information made public Friday night.
Goldman Sachs disclosed the list of companies to the Senate Finance Committee after a threat of subpoena from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Ia.
Asked the significance of the list, Grassley said, "I hope it's as simple as taxpayers deserve to know what happened to their money."
He added, "We thought originally we were bailing out AIG. Then later on ... we learned that the money flowed through AIG to a few big banks, and now we know that the money went from these few big banks to dozens of financial institutions all around the world."

But what is clearly not acceptable is the cancer-like
growth of bureaucracy, mostly in the public sector,
but the private sector is not immune. It’s surprising
how many law firms do business with
governments, and why has an army of Goldman
Sachs people been seconded to one government
or another? Who pays?

Hail Goldman...they saved themselves...I mean the world!

Remember the 1st rule of THIEFING..CASH N CARRY...how coincidental is that?
"In a brief oped likely written by his 2nd year analyst or executive assistant, titled "The Cultural Challenges of Entitlement Reform" the bald one says "bailing out the financial system went directly against our shared beliefs in free markets and fair play." Yes, you read that right. This is the same person who singlehandedly devised the biggest taxpayer blank check bailout to banks in history (until of course Europe had to bail out its own banking system two months ago, where incidentally, everything is peachykeen once again) as captured by the following email: "We have $11 trillion residential mortgages, $3 trillion commercial mortgages. Total $14 trillion. Five percent of that is $700 billion. A nice round number."
