Why is this news? Am I to assume that Mr. Ratigan (et al) didn't know what was going on when Godfather Paulson was trying to save us all by forcing the banking industry to borrow from the treasury? Maybe Mr. Ratigan doesn't know how many of our Treasury Secretary's were Goldman Sachs employees at one time or the other? Or maybe Mr. Ratigan doesn't even know how many strings are attached to GS with in the body politic in Washington at this current time? Tell you what...forget the FED. You want justice? You want transparency? Let's audit Goldman Sachs...then we'll all be happy, then you'll get your "vengeance". Fib

Ultimately, I doubt it.
I believe it was said in the Gospel According to Paulson. . . .

". . . for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will not repay, saith the Lloyd"

""Let's audit Goldman Sachs...then we'll all be happy, then you'll get your "vengeance".""

That's an assumption :) .. I would rather trade the market the way Goldman would next.
