Goldman’s main man was in the room with the feds – the only representative of Wall Street – when the decision was made to rescue AIG.

The United States: The Largest Ponzi Scheme in the World
The United States is now the largest Ponzi scheme in the world. The only way to pay off the old lenders is to bring in new ones – or run the printing press. That’s all lenders have to worry about – inflation. And for the moment, prices are going down. They’ll keep going down too – until they go up…
