So Lloyd Blankfein looks around at the world outside and sees that the stock market and his compensation is improving and believes everyone should be happy. He says all the negativity from Congress and the media is causing people to feel gloomy.
Blankfein is a believer in sentiment so that if everyone says the economy is improving--Behold, the economy improves!
Well, he does not convince the commentators on the
Daily Mail blog:
Goldman Sachs CEO blames lagging economy on Americans' negative culture
By Hayley Peterson - Daily Mail
The chief executive officer of
Goldman Sachs blames the lagging U.S. economy on Americans' negativity,
which he has partly attributed to Congress and the media.
'[The] economy is not a science, it's a social science,' Lloyd Blankfein told Politico reporter Ben Smith in a live-streamed interview Thursday.
'[The] culture of America has gotten too negative,' he added.
. . . .
Two comments:
--I suppose if I were
making multiple millions a year, I wouldn't understand the gloominess
either.
Perhaps he can get legislation passed that requires everybody to take
happy pills. Then we can eliminate the gloominess. Maybe the new
healthcare legislation will pay for the pills as well.
And should anyone have a real problem, well he will just have them
shipped to a gulag without any nsa sponsored internet or cell phone
access. Happiness and confidence at all costs. that is what makes his
world go 'round. Ben take note!!
Just remember, GS was BK until Henry hectored congress and demanded and
received the Federal tit from a servile congress. 7 pages of crybaby
bullying. Congress blinked. Big talk from a bankrupt. These guys
couldn't manage a candy store from scratch without "clout". Everything
is always a "inside fix" with these guys.
Beware, the sociopaths are all around us. Truth is not their currency.

--Lloyd owns Congress
If he really didn't like something, he can fix it
But he speaks with forked tongue.
He loves things just the way they are, with the wealth of the country's middle class being transferred to him and his ilk.
Will positivity return the trillions back that was stolen from the negative ones by the banksters?
