Goldman Insider Crystallizes a Lesson About Bankers Article from CFO
"Now quite famously, formerly of Goldman Sachs, Greg Smith kicked up a firestorm with his op-ed piece in The New York Times on Wednesday. He lambasted his former employer (he’d quit just minutes earlier), decrying a culture “where not a single minute is spent asking questions about how we can help clients. It’s purely about how we can make the most possible money off of them.â€

Wait until we bail out the OWS college students and their loans .... fun time are ahead with those individuals once we allow them , like the banks, to get away with not paying what they owe.

uh oh, that former Goldman Sachs exec probably just screwed himself out of a position in the Obama administration. The first rule of Banker Club is you don't talk about Banker Club.

The government created the bubble and the bailout so that the banks could treat their clients like crap ... if the government is going to bail you out then why bother dealing with customers civilly who are not bailing you out???

with the amount of money we gave the banks and didn't get back we could have almost completely paid off most of the housing loans. (or at the very least a huge chunk of them). I rather have seen that since at least then more than a handful of people would have seen a benefit from it (and profit would still trickle up to the greedy bankers)

This crony capatilistic facist monetary system has been the flavor of the day for the last 40+ years.
There has been 1 officeholder that has been standing up to it. Just 1 man. To call this 1 person who has been the enemy of every person in power and every banker and federal reserve crony an insider just makes you look like a complete and utter fool.

They also do it by getting free money from the Federal Reserve discount window. It is a wonder that people haven't wondered why these credit card companies, mortage companies and student loan institutions have all the money and we need to become their slaves in order to surpass a distorted and inflated economy.

Free markets are the best way to deliver goods and services to people at the lowest prices.
Thank god for Ludwig Von Mises, Frederic Bastiat and Thomas Jefferson.
If you really want to get information on economics you can get free higher education through Ludwig Von Mises Institute. Much better than Harvard who Time's said is the best college (of course they don't mention the 200k debt you will have for attending).

It's really a four-step process:
Step #1: Ramp up production of consumer goods.
Step #2: Have those goods sit on store shelves, unpurchased and unused (because, you know, we're not spending we're saving
Step #3: ?????
Step #4: Profit

Sin doesn't know anything. A bailout of over 17 trillion dollars over the last 4 years and he says this doesn't mean anything.... I doubt he has ever done any research on Keynesianism which is the theory that they are using for our economic system. I doubt he has ever read anything by Ludwig Von Mises or Murray Rothbard.
People like him claim superiority by being brash and distorting reality by absolutely false statements. It isn't like this is a new game by the statis quo facists that have given us so much poverty throughout the centuries.

So Des you are asserting, like BT, that the reason that Goldman Sachs is able to sell clients investments based on the interest of the company and not the client is because they were bailed out? Please explain to everyone why the bailout happened and how it relates to this issue specifically.
Mises never gets past basic economics. It is like all of those people who take econ 101 and think the world would be made up of simplistic and perfect markets if the government just didn't exist. Clueless morons who fail at math and at understanding reality. It makes it really hard to study econ when you don't use math or reality in your study.
Also obligatory reminder of the free market at work...

Discount window is almost entirely overnight loans. Hard to do very much with a loan that is due tomorrow.
Primarily its a price signal that banks use to lend each other money. Without a discount window banks would still lend each other money and they would still have lots of money.
The discount window does reduce the bank failures that would arise from very short term liquidity crunches. Waves of bank failures would probably not be the economic elixer you think.

That 17T figure is ridiculous misleading and false. Most of it is through short-term (i.e. one day loans) that were immediately repaid.
If you loan someone a billion dollars and they repay it the same day and you do it every day for 4 years, you've 'loaned' them $1.46T even though they never borrowed more than a billion at a time.
Also, the majority of the money that WAS loaned to the banks during the bailout (TARP) has been repaid. AIG, I think is the main one that has not, but the bailout money was repaid with interest by most banks as soon as they realized that the Feds were going to use the loans to dictate their business practices.

The Fed was allowing the banks to borrow @ 0% and then park the money @ the Fed for a 3% return ... that is free money

It was a great flick but you have to be careful about documentaries...nearly all of them are pushing some sort of biased agenda.

The Fed was allowing the banks to borrow @ 0% and then park the money @ the Fed for a 3% return ... that is free money
Explain the 3% return.
Exactly what where the banks doing? Be specific.

I just watch Too Big To Fail and I know it was based on a book but I wonder how accurate the author was.
It was a great flick but you have to be careful about documentaries...nearly all of them are pushing some sort of biased agenda.
ETA: If you liked that I also highly recommend Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
Yeah I figured there was some bias going on somewhere, but for what it is, it was a good movie. I really want to believe that how Paulson and Geithner were in the movie was factual.
I look out for it, thanks for the tip.

Also, the majority of the money that WAS loaned to the banks during the bailout (TARP) has been repaid. AIG, I think is the main one that has not..
For that bit of financial wizardry, credit outspoken CEO Robert Benmosche, who's defying all odds turning around the beleaguered insurance giant. The company has repaid billions to the government -- including its entire obligation to the Fed -- and regained access to credit and debt markets.

Just about every credit card company will give you one.
Credit card companies give interest free loans but charge a one-time 3-4% transaction charge.
Every time you use a credit card its an interest free loan to provide you liquidity. There is no additional cost to using a card.
These are even more friendly than the Fed loans since you dont have to provide collateral to use a credit card.
There are some real good potential criticisms of the Fed.

The reason the rich got so rich is because of the federal reserve system. Unless you fix the root problem it doesn't matter how much you tax them, we will continue on the inevitable consequence of a failed monetary and moral economic system.

obviously not
But Rich people did invent the Fed so that they could continue to be rich and not have to work... This is part of the core idea that this country was founded to fight against and prevent, not support and foster.

Just so you know the Federal Reserve was in large part formed to reduce the impact of the economic cycle on the economy. In real terms the economic cycle mostly hurts the poor. Your entire premise relies on the theory that the poor and working class would be worse off without monetary intervention. Good luck with that.
