If you could legally position yourself, advantageously, with the government, would you? I would.
Guess you'd better vet your candidates a bit better. We still don't know much about President Goldman Sachs background.
Really? Your U. S. Representative has to win a popular election, every two years, in a geographic area of the country that is relatively small. Maybe if people paid more attention, at the local level, about the politics of their representative, instead of their tenure and perceived power in Washington, they'd do themselves a better service.
Same with Senators. They have to win a statewide election.
Companies aren't subject to voters except where you withhold commerce. But, if you put people in office that are corrupt and willing to funnel billions to private interests in exchange for millions in bribes, kickbacks or campaign donations; you (we) get what we deserve.
I believe, out of 350 million people, there are 535 that exist who would not be corrupted by such an arrangement. But, that's just me. Some of our legislators actually come home worth about as much as they did when they won election.
But, in the case of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it wasn't even the greed of the private sector. It was the idiocy of government bureaucrats and corrupt Democrats that fought off all attempts to bring them under control as they ac ulated the biggest pile of toxic debt in history.
You don't know much about him because you are naturally and willfully ignorant and stupid.Guess you'd better vet your candidates a bit better. We still don't know much about President Goldman Sachs background.
And seriously, you're trying to pretend the Bush administration was completely devoid of Wall Street influence. Even more stupid.
If the only requirement were "Least likely to corrupt" it would make choosing our politicians a lot easier, wouldn't it?
How many of our senators aren't already rich? I would say the number of rich people in Congress (especially the Senate) outweighs the "normies".
I'm pretty sure that everyone had a hand in that fiasco.
His generation doesn't give a ."Ronald Regan" (lol) was the first to sell my generation down the river with an unrecoverable debt spiral:
Your generation took out those loans, and long after you are all dead my generation will continue to pay that bill. Do you think that is ethical?
Then you are part of the problem big ing time. I have been given authority and made it a steadfast point to not use it as an opportunity for self promotion. Think George Washington who also happened to be antipolitical party.
I guess I should have been more clear.
If you're a company and there is a legal advantage to be had from government, are you doing your stockholders a disservice by not taking advantage of that legal benefit while other companies stick their snouts in the trough.
Remember, we're talking about a legal process, developed by government, and offered to the private sector.
Personally, I've never accepted government assistance as an individual, even when I qualified.
I didn't vote for Tip O'Neill or Nancy Pelosi.
I couldn't vote until 2003 when debt was already 300% of GDP. Voting doesn't help or do anything btw.
Good, then I hope you continue not voting.
Sure it was. He could've stood up for his principles and vetoed what he didn't like. But he signed off on them. That makes them his.
You're always clear yoni. Wrong, but clear.
You are a pathetic human being. Seriously. I'm ashamed of you.
The two party system is beyond repair. Only an imbecile would think otherwise.
You do a great job of ignoring basically every logical point I make. Have you ever considered that you are wrong? How is it my fault that I inherited your debts? You rarely answer any of my questions.
Your generation took out those loans, and long after you are all dead my generation will continue to pay that bill. Do you think that is ethical?
dishonest yoni isn't interested in addressing logical points.
He's really not interested in doing anything except circlejerking with DarrinS and WC.
People my age who are like this piss me off but at the same time remind me that I have an advantage once I'm done with school. Judging by the dumb hair cut and the effeminate wardrobe, this is probably someone who got a BA in liberal arts or political science with an emphasis on diversity or some other weird who thought college was the time to "express and find himself", thought that graduating with a good GPA automatically led to a 50k+ a year job, and thinks that his degree makes him too good for all the jobs he actually can get.
I feel bad for the people who've had their job/pay yanked out from under them and shipped overseas, but the rabid amount of unemployed college grads angry about not having a well paying job right out of school don't deserve any sympathy. Worthless majors like political science or English without any addition schooling have never led to any well paying jobs. Quit blaming the economy for choosing a worthless degree.
Maybe he's an accountant...
No joke, this was honestly my thought due to his nerdy haircut and bad clothes.Maybe he's an accountant...
Did you know that student loans are one of the only kinds of debt which cannot be absolved by bankruptcy?
Some recent grads are in the hole over 6 figures, even grads with non-useless degrees who wish they could declare bankruptcy but cannot.

If you close your eyes these kids aren't going to go away, and their problems aren't going to be solved.
Tbh the big reason I am an accounting major is because it's a reliable career path that always has a need regardless of the economic climate. I actually find the stuff boring as (outside of building ERP databases since it's the only thing in accounting I've run into that's been remotely challenging) and I'm double majoring in finance so I can shift my career path in a better economy.
He's dressed more like a hipster than a nerd, but he's not dressed like a stereotypical accountant at all. A stereotypical accountant dresses extremely plain and conservatively. The "bad clothes" an accountant wears are a different kind of bad than the clothes that dude is wearing.
Just remember to blame yourself if there aren't any jobs available once you graduate.
Sincerely,
Yoni, Cain, et al.
Then go to DC and protest the corrupt politicians deregulating banks and privatizing student loans. Don't protest Wall Street for taking advantage of the great investing opportunity the government shouldn't have given them.
The bankers/investors on Wall Street have always been self interested greedy people willing to rape and pillage anyone if it means more money in their pockets. That isn't some new thing. The reason why it's all the sudden a problem is because Bush (and Obama to a lesser extent) gave them the power to do outrageous things like artificially inflate the economy while investing in it crashing.
DR cutting to the chase here with a reality check. Someone get this man a beer and cigar please.
