Did Goldman Sachs Get Off Easy?

If you start looking at some of the the backgrounds of our Treasury secretary, and many others in government, you will find that they are connected or indebted to GS in some way, shape or form.
Not only does GS hedge their funds, they protect their *sses via political hedging (protection and assistance from bureaucrats) as well.
GS is all about doing whatever they can to help inflate bubbles and then take positions to make huge profits off those bubbles before they implode. Such bubbles may include but not be limited to; oil, energy ,housing, gold, and probably coming soon... corn, wheat and water.
The best bubbles of course are those bubbles that are things we have to have like gasoline, food or shelter.

Goldman Sachs was nothing more than a bookmaker, here-playing with big bucks. The common bookie would have spent jail time if he/she were caught.

The folks at Goldman Sachs are mostly crooked thieves. I am sorry but that is the facts. Their fraudulent activity should have landed many of them behind bars for decades. Such a travesty of justice that they can so easily worm their way out of their arrogant behavior.
The gubmint should have run them into the ground like they did Arthur Anderson during the Big 8 accounting fiasco a few years ago. I HATE GOLDMAN SACHS.
