Crony Capitalism Displayed via Venn Diagram

The incestual relationship between the government and Goldman Sachs just doesn't stop.

Rubin, Corzine, Paulson, Emanuel, Hormats, Friedman, Farrell, Murphy, Patterson, Storch, Lasry, Shah, Craig and Gensler to start.

In fact, there are so many more over-lapping relationships. It is just too difficult to keep track of them all. The designer of the Venn diagram below failed to include former-treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who was paid to speak at Goldman Sachs before being named head of President Obama's National Economic Council. Also failing to make the diagram was Gene Sperling, current adviser to Treasury Secretary Geithner, who was before that an adviser to Goldman Sachs. And how can one forget Neal Kashkari, except in a room overflowing with Goldman alum? Kashkari served as head of the Office of Financial Stability, which bought up all that bad debt from Goldman and other crony banks, during the heat of the crisis. Naturally, he worked at Goldman before heading to the OFS.

"There are so many more over-lapping relationships. It is just too difficult to keep track of them all." This is by design. The criminals (in the banking industry and the government)are able to perpetuate their crimes by creating such kaos. It's the same strategy being used by hussien and all his fellow commusists to overwhelm the system.

this truly is planned. "they" know what they're doing and don't give a rip about our nation and it's people.

i don't know if we can investigate enough to get to the truth; but we sure must try.

when it all comes out; all involved should be hung for all to see.
