4. Everyone should be watching this
the real issue is the dynamic between AIG and the counter parties - Goldman Sachs is at the helm of them.

5. Yes the big money is really in the counter-party bets, bucketshops were outlawed for a reason
in the early 1900's. It is basically the same game being played again, I find it astounding that this is never really touched on.

6. Libertarianism masquerading as capitalism
He wants to preserve capitalism and is worried about populism as well.

Clearly he's a Rawlsian re unjust rewards.

7. Discussing his own credibility
Quite a confession dis.

I like Spitzer.

Synopsis. I failed, I resigned my position, but I will speak on the issues. If I can contribute I will. No excuses.

9. This guy deserves a spot in the Obama govt.
I'll never believe the financial industry had nothing to do with his downfall.

10. His Valentine's Day exposure and that video interview
were the reasons Bushco's Justice went after him, which only shows the level of collusion with Bushco and the Wall Street crooks.

Very good program today.
