Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Goldman Sachs and the White House.

He should pick somebody like the 2 dolts above who cannot balance a checkbook. That will work out real well.DUH ED K

LOL
Ron Paul's ads for Harvest Right on the radio are for the Glenn Beck crowd.

you ask a stupid question and want answer LMFAO, Goldman Sachs does whats good for their Billionaire shareholers and when it goes to sheit they get the Public to bail em out !!

I follow what you're saying but you know anytime you put the names Cruz and Trump in the same post on this forum is like sticking your face into a wood chipper.

Agreed. The same can be said about putting some big city [bleep] in charge of the Dept of Agriculture or Interior.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

What I posted was the truth about Cruz and Trump.

So..you've convinced me. Trumps cabinet is the moral equivalent of Obama and Clintons cabinet. Pretty low bar.

funny how ytou're cheerleading now, when you were horrified before.

Same old/Same old...at least you voted for change!

Sycamore

I would conclude just the opposite. Obama is the worst President in the history of the country and all Trump's cabinet choices show he is an improvement, reminiscent of Reagan following Carter.

So far, it s like watching a Reagan rerun.Works for me.

It's pretty easy to show your hypocrisy. You were silent then, and whining now.

On Geithner, I didn't have a problem with him being from Goldmann. My problem was with him acting as though he was above the law and Hussein pushing that through. On Pritzker, I doubt I made any comments at all then, but it's ironic how she and hers made her money when the left is full of "moral outrage" about similar situations today.

The question stands, to Northman, Sycamore, and their ilk - if Trump, or any other POTUS, is not supposed to pick people who have been successful in business, finance, investments, etc., to head of the Treasury or Commerce then who - exactly - are they supposed to pick?

Maybe he should pick some who has voiced concerns about Wall Street, Lobbyist, Banks, Endles wars in the ME? Somebody who wants to "drain the swamp".. Somebody who belives and fights for the same things Trump ran his campaign on?


As of now he is picking people of the status quo.. people who for years has had no interest in doing so.


Maybe if they suddenly grows a conscience, and changes their minds.. I might start listening to him. As of now, actions speaks louder then words.

Where would such a person come from, if they could not have been successful in business, investments, etc.? You're advocating beliefs, not experience; I'm asking about experience.

Why does everbody need to come from business? Or have made billions in the system that benefitted them?


There are republican and democrats that hates lobbyiests with a passion?

There are republican and democrats that hates endless wars?

There are republican or democrats that puts america first.. and stops spending trillinons interfering with other countries?


Those are better picks..


I think we all agree, that money in politics is the WORST thing for America. As it stops those in power of listening to the citizens needs.

It isn't possible to remove money from politics....or anything else for that matter. Never will.

Socialists and communists tried....for everyone except the ruling elite which is what you end up with under your hairbrained notion of "fairness".,and how things work.

Someone comes along and promises to remove the "inequality" of wealth and income distribution you better run the other way.,cause you're going to get a totalitarian regime. Bank on it.

Don't be naive, but I suspect it's already too late for you.

You know.. there aint Left and Right, Republican and Democrat, Facism - Communism

There is something inbetween. And most peoples belifes are inbetween.


As you can see in my tagline, America at the moment:

Socialism for big corporations ( or donors ) and military industrial complex

&

Rugged individualism ( or capitalism ) for the individual.

So, you are advocating for a President to nominate for Secretary of the Treasury, to oversee the monetary policies and budgeting of the nation, a person with no track record in business, finance, or investments?

You are advocating for a President to nominate for Secretary of Commerce, to oversee the regulations of interstate trade and to set domestic and international trade policy for the purposes and benefit of the nation, a person with no track record in business, finance, or trade?

Where would these mythical people who have no experience in the subject matter, but who are immensely qualified to lead the largest economy in the world, actually come from?

Would you likewise ask that a POTUS nominate for Surgeon General a person with no experience in the medical profession or public health?

I realize that it is one of your red herrings and that it has absolutely nothing to do with the positions of Sec. of Treasury or Commerce, but you keep prattling on about "wars"; the Secretaries of Commerce and the Treasury have nothing to do with military policy or defense - it is not their job. Further, nothing is known of (nor is it relevant) the positions of the nominees for these positions on any wars in the ME or elsewhere. It is an intellectually dishonest attempt on your part to insert that horsechit into a discussion of the nominees for Secretary of Commerce and Treasury.

Irrelevant horsechit. Address the actual topic at hand; meaningless pablum won't cut it.

Fact: Goldman Sachs hires really smart people not academics that would have trouble budgeting and running a boy scout troop.

OK.

He picks and is going to pick more Goldman Sachs employees for key goverment positions.

Are they all going to turn their backs on millions and billions of dollars in future profit, for the benefit of the American people?


Or are they going to do, excatly as they have done for the last 20-30 years. Serve their own best interests.
