Comments on: Robert Rubin: The Nexus Of Big Government and Wall Street http://biggovernment.com/cgasparino/2009/11/11/robert-rubin-the-nexus-of-big-government-and-wall-street/ Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:52:32 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: A Oberoi http://biggovernment.com/cgasparino/2009/11/11/robert-rubin-the-nexus-of-big-government-and-wall-street/comment-page-1/#comment-2039334 A Oberoi Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:17:23 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/?p=28798#comment-2039334 This FCIC hearing should bring out the small club of ex & current Goldman guys... Rubin, Paulson, Blankfien who have supported OTC derivatives argued to bring down Glass Steagall. Together with Weill, Greenspans & others support they made both Citi and then GS into Universal banks, effectively allowing the old Salomon Bros and now GS to access the fed window so the firms would not go under at the time of crisis. Then Lehman is allowed to fail but AIG is rescued! It would have been cheaper for the taxpayer if Lehman had been rescued! Goldman made money at the expense of AIG and now Greece. This list is probably really long if someone digs deeper. Should someone explore their dealings with Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae etc? I would also wish we could disclose on a name buy name basis, the investors in John Paulson's HF that made a killing in this crisis. To me it appears there is a small secret society in operation in the background. Let us fix the system, and replace all these people......

He and Sandy Weill were running a massive Ponzi scam at Citigroup by using huge leverage and selling worthless mortgages. Far far larger than Madoff ever dreamed of. They have now been exposed. Someone call the cops. Keep up the good work Charlie. The people need to start asking…why is Robert Rubin not in jail?

There's no money for the average guy in the street except unemployment and welfare while Obama nad his boys give wall street hundreds of billions so they make the bomnus payouts of hundreds of milions to themselves. Obama only helps his friends and contributors not anyone who might actually help the economy. Ifthe stimulas had been given to the public, oh says $25,000 per adult the economy would have boomed instantly as private debt would have shrunk and consumers would have spent money. But no he gave oit to wall street who gave it to themselves and their foriegn debt holders. That's BUll hockey! Obama is as for the rich as any president has ever been. He's one of them and he's protecting his next electin by giving them our money. Obama is always talking about redistributing the wealth. What he menas by that is take from the working class and giving it to the rich and the poltical class. Wake Up America! Obama's change was to put the money in his pocket not George Bush's your his ATM!

Its wall street and the bankers. You know the guys that can trade their own stock and no one in the government investigates unless they pissed them off over something like no campiagn bribes.
