QuoteGoldman Sachs poised for return to power in Trump White House



Government Sachs is returning to Washington.



After a decade in the wilderness, Wall Street's most powerful firm, Goldman Sachs, is dominating the early days of the incoming Trump administration. The newly picked Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, spent 17 years at Goldman. Trump's top incoming White House adviser, Steve Bannon, spent his early career at the bank. So did Anthony Scaramucci, one of Trump's top transition advisers.



Goldman's president, Gary Cohn, spent an hour schmoozing with President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday and could be up for an administration job, possibly as director of the Office of Management and Budget, people close to Cohn and the transition said. Cohn, a long-time commodities trader, is friendly with Trump's powerful son-in-law, Jared Kushner.



It's a stunning reversal of fortune for Goldman, a long-time Washington power that fell out of favor following the financial crisis. CEO Lloyd Blankfein got hauled before Congress along with other Wall Street executives to account for their behavior. And Trump, who ran as a populist and bashed Wall Street on the campaign trail, featured Blankfein as a shady and dangerous character in his final campaign ad.

The wealthy elite will have more power in the US than since I don't know when. They're going to have a field day.

Quote from: "iron horse jockey"And how much was Hillary Clinton paid again for her Wall Stree speches? Wasn't it $225,000 per speech? Didn' t she earn $22 million on the paid speaking tour?

Hmm, I'm not sure what Clinton's past speeches have to do with Trump presently selling out to Wall Street. Those speeches aren't going to affect any American, but Trump's policies will affect millions.
