In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton's GOLDMAN SACHS PROBLEM. [View all]think
(11,641 posts)37. Do you think Bernie Sanders would take money from Goldman Sachs? Should he?
Would he still be trusted to put the public's interests ahead of a corporation with a blatant history of political cronyism?
The Face of Class Warfare
Thursday, November 29, 2012
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein came to Capitol Hill this week to call for cuts in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. As Congress and the White House are negotiating a year-end deficit deal, Blankfein sought to lower peoples expectations about their retirement and health care. He spoke with all the sympathy for someone struggling to get by on $14,000-a-year retirement that youd expect from a Wall Street banker paid $16 million last year. Think about the arrogance of these guys on Wall Street who were bailed out by the middle class of this country when their greed and recklessness nearly destroyed the financial system and now they come to Capitol Hill to lecture Congress and the American people about the need to cut programs for working families, Sen. Bernie Sanders said in a Senate floor speech.

$400,000 leads to a quid pro quo between a politician and bankers? Perish the thought.
