I wish this chart would show more info on Goldman political output since the white house has had plenty of Goldman insiders working for it since the the dawn of time (Dems and Repubs). Big names like Robert Rubin and Hank Paulson jump out because of the level of influence they had but those lesser known are even more shocking, such as everyone appointed to administer TARP and the bailouts. On top of this the CEO’s of all the big banks are typically ex-Goldman, e.g., JP Morgan, B of A, etc. But, this chart does show just how well these guys have done. Unfortunately, it looks like the game is being rigged. For those who don’t know, Goldman’s next big venture is carbon offsets (Al Gore’s lot).
