The problem isn’t the bonuses, it is that the US Treasury has been looted.

There is a huge conflict of interest the US Government has with Goldman Sachs executives installed in a major financial regulatory positions of the Obama administration.

One example is Tim Geithner, who spent years coddling up to wall street, and was appointed head of the US Treasury by Obama. In Jan. 09, Geithner appoints Mark Patterson, a Goldman Sachs lobbyist, as Chief of Staff (the same day he announced rules limiting the roles of lobbyists!). Goldman Sachs ended up being the biggest beneficiary of the AIG $180 Billion tax dollar bail out, along with manyfFederal rulings that only benefited Goldman.

Goldman Sachs employees gave just shy of a million dollars to the Obama campaign, ranking second in contributions. Get the picture?

Something is choking our nation, it isn’t simply Obama and bonuses. The direction of the smoke is Goldman Sachs, The Federal Reserve, George Soros and their secretive hedge funds with hidden accounts all over the world.

The US Treasury has been burned and looted. Confidence is lost. That is the outrage.
