"Trump deepens Goldman ties as he builds out economic team WASHINGTON (AP) — In the heat of the presidential campaign, Donald Trump accused primary rival Ted Cruz of being controlled by Goldman Sachs because his wife, Heidi, previously worked for the Wall Street giant. He slammed Hillary Clinton for receiving speaking fees from the bank."
They include Gary Cohn as the head of the National Economic Council at the WH. Treasury will be directed by Steve Mnunchins. Steve Bannon, Mr. Alt Right, who formerly worked at Goldman, is going to be WH strategist.
Trump campaigned on HRC never "draining the swamp." Goldman stocks are up 33% since the election.
"The concentration of power among so many players who once worked at Goldman is sure to feed suspicions of a government at the service of Wall Street. Goldman was involved in the securities market for subprime mortgages, the same financial instruments that helped fuel the housing bubble and ultimately led millions of Americans to lose their homes to foreclosure. Wall Street executives also opposed the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation signed by President Barack Obama, legislation Trump has vowed to overhaul."
The point: Trump is going to screw the working class while enriching the wealthy.
But anyone with a brain knew that. Those of us who have already had it made are fine, but the working classes simply are being flushed away now that Trump has won.
