In fact, the head of the European Central Bank itself, Mario Draghi, was the former managing director of Goldman Sachs.   It's widely known that Goldman Sachs made the euro problem worse when it helped Greece hide its debt back in 2002.   As the DailyKos described the scheme Goldman is playing, "The normal scenario usually involves helping a nation hide a problem and sell its debt until the problem blows up into a bubble that bursts in a spectacular way.   Goldman Sachs then puts their 'man' into a position of power to direct the bailouts so that Goldman gets all its money back and more, while the nation's economy gets gutted simultaneously so as to get Goldman its money."

  

 

The same thing has happened in the United States, as the last two Treasury Secretaries came from Goldman Sachs, and Goldman made out like a bandit in the 2008 Wall Street bailouts.   Plain and simple, when a bank the size of Goldman (G-S) can run the world, as America's fourth and most powerful branch of government, American democracy is dying if not already dead.  

 

If all of the top officers of G-S were simultaneously executed or killed by a terrorist organization, G-S *might* reform, out of fear.   Otherwise, with no accountability of any kind, and with the top Capos expecting the public worship them instead of knee-capping them, G-S will continue to suck the life blood out of the global economy until there's nothing left.   Instead, Goldman's assets should simply be seized as the loot taken by a criminal enterprise, and the top officers arrested and held without bail under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as terrorists.
