one thing for sure, the reason for this recent "attack" on GS is merely a ploy, a device, to distract the public from government plans to manipulate further the markets. don't expect much to occur from this.

In order to expand the role of government control and manipulation of america, a "carrot" if you will is being placed in the news media to give the appearance of doing something just and fair, to give the impression that they are going to better regulate fraud and white crime criminals.

remember though, the dems and reps are puppets of wall street. wall st, is calling the shots today and has been for quite some time. politicians owe their current job and potential for keeping their jobs to wall street and their lobbyists who represent the functioning legislative branch of government. politicians therefore owe their allegiance to wall street and the money sloshes and forth.

with the motive of reform for wall street, it is hoped to create further government control and further expansion of government, the last thing in the world the public needs at this point for sure. we already had mechanisms and agencies in place (inept to be sure) including the worthless SEC which was supposed to oversee and prevent this nonsense in the first place.

If anyone does go to jail from wall street, my guess it will be a solitary GS chump who has pancreatic carcinoma or some other terminal disease, and is on his way out anyway, or someone threatening to go public with coming clean and honest, and wall street plans to teach them a lesson, like what happened to JFK when he attempted to loosen the grip of the federal reserve banking system and was buried shortly thereafter.

big government today wants to continue its growth and expansion with further control over all financial aspects of america. big government wants to become very big government. remember big governments creed: "more is never enough"

If anyone thinks that this game of plunder is not obvious to all around the world then they are badly mistaken.

Worse to me is the arrogance of GS this morning claiming they did nothing wrong. They took the economy over the cliff, depended on the tax payer to come to the rescue and then with a strait face claim they did nothing wrong. Well if they think they did nothing wrong they will do it all over again. All in the name of doing ....."Gods work". Is this really what God had in mind?
