HSBC, Bank Of America but especially Goldman Sachs. Their title: Economic Terrorists.

I think especially given Goldman Sachs actions they deserve the aforementioned title more than any other company up there. I'm thinking specifically of the deal they cut with Greece to look solvent so they could join the EU. Later, they bet against Greece and we saw the tremendous devastation that has come of it and the austerity measure.
Matt Taibbi wrote an article that it's also believed they are largely responsible for "The Great Depression" and I'm sure there are other collapses lined up there as well.
I'm wondering if you have any news to share on this.

Specifically, I bring this up in primaries because we know of Hillary's close ties to Wall St. and I strongly encourage her to divorce from all of these people with those dirty money connections. The Greeks have suffered greatly because of their actions as well as Americans. This needs to stop and will only happen if she completely cuts her relationship with these people for good and has her commit to a modern day Glass Stegall in addition to the rest of her plan.

as Warren Buffet said, Financial Weapons of Mass of Mass Destruction.
See VIDEO here of the latest KEISER REPORT, Jan. 21 on the growing unregulated giant Debt Bubble Ball that will wreck the economy again soon, and other recent financial news pieces. What the EU did to Greece is reprehensible. Much of Germany's debt was forgiven post- WWII. People forget, conveniently.

When we look at Germany and other countries and see how prosperous they started to become after the debt was forgiven, I would entreat people to look at tuition free college from Bernie in a micro sense.
