When is Enough Enough?

June 01, 2010

In a recent article from The Huffington Post I read that Goldman Sachs, once again, makes a suspicious financial move in the hopes of 'rolling in the dough'. At a time when our nation, and world, struggles to survive environmental disaster, economic recession, political instability and ongoing evidence of acts against humanity, I find it completely shocking that such acts of blatant arrogance and greed continue to plaque our country. When will enough be enough? As we move further into this mid term election year, it is imperative that we fully understand the beliefs and political positions of those who are running for office. It is past time that we dethrone those whose pockets are lined with money from special interest groups, lobbyists and corporations who are allowed to rape the American people. Get involved, show your outrage and stand for dismantling corporate greed and corruption in our country.

Goldman Sachs Reveals it Shorted Gulf of Mexico

In what is looming as another public relations predicament for Goldman Sachs, the banking giant admitted today that it made "a substantial financial bet against the Gulf of Mexico" one day before the sinking of an oil rig in that body of water.

The new revelations came to light after government investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre in which he bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a "big short" position on the Gulf.

"One oil rig goes down and we're going to be rolling in dough," Mr. Tourre wrote in one email. "Suck it, fishies and birdies!"
