While most of the world is recovering economically, the US continues to flounder. Greece is highly unionized. Result? Chaos.
Is that our trial canary? We know that tax cuts work. Please feel to help with informative / shocking links regarding economics, government budgeting, what triggered the meltdown, Obama-nomics, and/or Greece.
Hedge fund manager in Goldman Sachs case is major Dem donor

U.S. (SEC) Accuses Goldman Sachs of Fraud
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2494316/posts
Exposing Goldman Sachs and DNC being chummy as sin:
SunkenCiv [via NormsRevenge?] —
The billionaire hedge fund manager at the center of an alleged fraud hatched at Goldman Sachs, a leading investment bank, has given tens of thousands of dollars to both parties. Campaign fundraising records show that John A. Paulson, founder and chairman of the hedge fund Paulson & Co., gave $30,400 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in June, qualifying him as a major Democratic donor. He also gave $2,300 to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) reelection campaign in February of last year and $4,800 to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) last April, according to records filed at the Federal Election Commission... Paulson’s support of Democrats, however, may give Republicans ammunition when Democrats bring their financial regulatory reform bill to the Senate floor next week, as planned... The SEC alleged that Paulson & Co. participated in a scheme in which Goldman sold subprime residential mortgage-backed securities to investors, such as foreign banks and pension funds, that were expected to lose value. Paulson & Co. bet heavily against the value of the fund, named Abacus 2007-AC1, which included mortgage bonds it viewed as overvalued, earning millions at the expense of Goldman clients who invested in it... Goldman earned between $15 million and $20 million to create and market the fund to investors who did not know that Paulson helped select its holdings and then bet it would lose value, according to the SEC. Reid seized on the allegations to argue that the Senate should pass a Democratic Wall Street reform bill... “We will stop banks from becoming ‘too big to fail’ and end taxpayer bailouts,” Reid said... Paulson gave thousands to other senior Senate Democrats in previous election cycles. He gave $4,600 to Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and $4,600 to Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) in 2008, according to FEC records. Paulson... gave $2,300 to Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign and $2,300 to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign[s] in 2007. He gave $5,000 to House Republican Whip Eric Cantor’s (R-Va.) leadership PAC in 2009 and a $1,000 contribution to Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.) in 2008.

President Obama means business.
He’s committed his administration to reining in Wall Street and creating the strongest consumer protections in history. And on Friday he made it clear that we can’t allow another devastating financial crisis — so he’ll veto any reform bill that doesn’t bring the derivatives market under control.
But the Senate could begin debate as soon as this week, and Republican leaders are teaming up with Wall Street lobbyists to defeat the bill — so the President needs your help to show that the American people stand with him on Wall Street reform [snip]

Goldman Sachs Will Be Sitting Pretty With Emanuel in the Obama White House
By: Timothy P. Carney, Examiner Columnist, Nov 21, 2008
Goldman Sachs always has clout in Washington, as evidenced by the firm’s alumni serving as Treasury secretaries under both Presidents Bush and Clinton. Today, in these tumultuous times of bailouts and meltdowns when the investment banking leviathan needs Washington more than ever before, Goldman can leverage its most valuable asset yet—incoming White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. Goldman Sachs is the giant of Wall Street, and more than any other investment bank, Goldman is surviving the current financial storm.
Traditionally a Democratic booster, and one of Barack Obama’s top sources of funds in this past election, Goldman has always had some particularly strong allies within government. Emanuel is one such ally. An interesting early chapter in the Goldman-Emanuel relationship took place in the setting of Bill Clinton’s campaign for the White House in 1992. Clinton hired Emanuel as his chief fundraiser.
At the same time, however, Emanuel was on the payroll of Goldman Sachs, receiving $3,000 per month from the firm to “introduce us to people,” in the words of one Goldman partner at the time. This is certainly a noteworthy relationship, but it’s one that has almost entirely escaped scrutiny. (snip)
In his four terms in Congress, Emanuel has raised $74,750 from Goldman, making the firm his number four source of funds. Goldman has helped Emanuel. How has Emanuel helped Goldman? The most obvious answer, as mentioned in this column two weeks ago, is in Emanuel’s lead role in shepherding the “$700 billion” bailout—first proposed by former a Goldman CEO, Bush Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson—through the skeptical House.
Of course, back in the Clinton days, Goldman benefited from NAFTA and the bailout of the Mexican currency, with Emanuel pushing NAFTA through Congress, and Rubin hammering out the peso bailout. Did Goldman improperly funnel money to the Clinton campaign by subsidizing Emanuel’s salary in 1992? Did Goldman’s help to Clinton spur the Democratic president to push NAFTA and the Mexican bailout?
The answers to these questions are opaque, and with Emanuel burrowed deep within the Obama White House, the continued relationship between Goldman Sachs and Obama’s right hand man won’t be easy to follow.
Watch which regulations of Wall Street Obama fights for. Watch where the bailout money goes. And don’t be surprised Goldman soon sitting pretty once again.

OPT workers, like others on F-1 visas, pay no such taxes. The Center estimates that if the OPT program participants, who are not students and who often hold jobs in the $60-$90,000 a year range, were to be covered by FICA and Medicare it would bring at least $1 billion a year to these hard-pressed government funds. It would take a one-line act of Congress to close the gap.”

Timing of SEC’s Goldman Sachs Fraud Case Was No Coincidence
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_041910/content/01125107.guest.html
[Rush] The New York Post on Saturday: “Wall Street Suspects Goldman Charges ‘Not Coincidental’ to Financial Reform Effort.” And there’s an interesting little tie here. John Paulson is the hedge fund guy who was allowed to pick the mortgage-backed securities that Goldman was going to package, and then this guy was allowed to go short on them, he bet that they were going to fail, he bet that whoever bought these as investment vehicles would lose money, and Goldman let him pick part of the portfolio. And he won, or scored a billion dollars when he was right. That’s what all this is about. This guy, John Paulson, not related to Henry, this guy has not been charged at all. He’s the hedge fund guy. Some vice president somewhere in Europe has been charged. But guess who’s in bed with John Paulson? That would be Chuck Schumer. “[Hedge fund billionaire John] Paulson goes to Goldman Sachs and asks the investment bank to create mortgage-backed bonds that he could short. Goldman Sachs agrees, taking a $15 million payment from Paulson for doing so. But Goldman goes a step farther by allowing Paulson to pick the mortgages that would be bundled into bonds — the mortgages that Paulson thought would be most likely to fail. Goldman then sold those tainted, Triple A-rated bonds to unwitting Goldman clients, collecting another hefty fee in the process. Like Paulson, it too placed secret bets that the bonds it had sold to trusting clients would fail.
“Paulson and Goldman are alleged to have created the investment vehicles to fail — they went short and Goldman got to sell them to investors who were long.” Some might say that this is a little conflicting. “John Paulson, the hedge fund short-artist in the middle of today’s SEC suit against Goldman Sachs, recently helped raise money for Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.), referring to the Senator in a fund-raising letter as ‘one of the few members of Congress that has consistently supported the hedge fund industry.’” You know who else was very close to Madoff was Chuck-U Schumer. So Senator Schumer is theoretically very close here to John Paulson and Bernie Madoff. But, my friends, a tough sell, because, remember, the Democrats are for the little guy. The Democrats are out there looking out for the little guy. Oh, yeah. “Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) Monday led a long list of officeholders and groups expected to give up more than $430,000 in political contributions from Bernie Madoff and his family... ‘My money, I’m returning,’ Schumer said... The $100,000 Madoff donated to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, run by Schumer until last month, should also be returned, but ‘that is their decision,’ Schumer said... A spokesman for the committee, now headed by Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), said, ‘We’re reviewing it.’” But, remember, the Democrats are for the little guy, folks. [snip]
[Side note: Trying to defend Clinton’s definition of ‘alone’, then-representative Schumer tried to argue that the sky wasn’t necessarily blue but arguably pink from some peoples’ perspective. Schumer is almost as fanatical about protecting infanticide as Obama himself. It all rolls together if you think about it.]

Anonymous Viewpoint:
The Black-Sholes formula for making those investment packs of sub primes (like Goldman-Sachs used) won a Nobel Prize, and believe me they were not conservative types. I believe one of them had already died, and other one joined with Green on formula presentation, and Nobel Prize came as result. It was a terrible way of packaging subprimes from various areas of country, and in meltdown the banks found they couldn’t sell them, as they could not determine values.
