Robert Rubin, the former Clinton-era Treasury Secretary and noted champion of deregulation, told a New York City audience last night that "virtually nobody" -- himself included -- foresaw the financial meltdown...
Rubin, who has also served as chairman of Goldman Sachs, said that while he became concerned about market "excesses" in 2005 and 2006, he failed to take account of all of the factors that would coalesce into the crisis. During his time at Citigroup, Rubin reportedly pushed the financial behemoth to take riskier bets, including investing in the subprime mortgage market, which imploded in 2007 and instigated the crisis. Next month, Rubin will be grilled by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, which is investigating the causes of the economic slump, notes Bloomberg News
Robert Rubin, EXHIBIT ONE in the omni-present hijacking of America, "Whenever Wall Street lobbyists, economic hit men, and financial parasites invoke 'Free Market Enterprise!' and 'Moral Hazard: the system MUST LET the LOSERS FAIL" to avoid "creating INEFFICIENCIES in the system" they are LYING HYPOCRITES, fraudsters, swindlers, and cheats.... they are SOCIALIZED federal taxpayer BAILOUTS dollars welfare recipients" feasting on extorted taxpayer dollars.

Bonus! Robert Rubin's PARTNER IN CRIME, in the Neo-Con, Goddamn-Sachs, JPM/Chase + Citi (et al) financial extortion and parasite LOOTING of American financial markets, ALAN GREENSPAN, admits HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON when he permitted TRILLIONS of dollars of financial "equity" to be shoved off-books wholesale into "credit default swaps" and other Wall St. UNREGULATED "derivatives" garbage, even as he (Greenspan) uses weasel-words to try to minimize his own culpability, or the vast damage, he enabled and encouraged -
note: Here's CNN's "BAILOUTS per Bank" chart,
(and here's USA Today's similar chart) with the explanation that
"The Treasury Department had 'Invested' $200 billion in hundreds of banks through its Capital Purchase Program"... yet at the bottom of that same list, CNN tallies the total - "Capital Purchase Program total investment" at $108,487,042,320 !!
Over ONE HUNDRED billion U.S. taxpayer dollars!
If Mr. Greenspan's serial, career, Fed Chairman folly ONLY cost American taxpayers $20 BILLION... or even ONE HUNDRED BILLION dollars, WE WOULD BE OUT of this Economic Crisis ALREADY.
But instead, the ACTUAL cost to American investors, savers, workers, families, pensioners, and consumer-taxpayers is in the $20 trillion; TWENTY+ TRILLION dollars in "BAILOUTS" ALONE, NOT EVEN COUNTING the $14 TRILLION dollars that have VANISHED into the air of American household wealth lost under the tender mercies of Mr. Greenspan and his protege and Fed Chairman successor, Ben Bernanke, and their two decades of "Goddamn-Sachs uber alles" economic larceny in cooperation with Robert Rubin, Hank Paulson, former "Democrat" New Jersey governor John Corzine, and other Golddamn-Sachs chairmen and executives.
