Goldman Sachs is all about manipulation. I’m not much for populism, but I make an exception for GS. GS is evil. Many of the problems in today’s economy can be traced directly or indirectly to GS. This is Enron with more money, influence, and credibility. In fact, GS is executing straight out of the Enron playbook (e.g., carbon credits is an Enron fabrication, sold to the Clinton/Gore Administration by Ken Lay).
I realize this makes me sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but as the man said, it’s not paranoia if they really are out to get you. “You” in this case means “all of us.”
