New Jersey Governor Chris Christie proposed a $29.3 billion budget that would suspend property-tax rebates, skip the state’s $3 billion pension contribution and fire 1,300 workers next year. And you thought Greece was the only fiscal basket case...
We think that China is an indestructible economic juggernaut but its economy is very fragile and it is sitting on a property bubble which will burst. What China does in response has major implications for their economy and the rest of the world. This is the second part of a three-part series on this topic.

the most remarkable thing about the interview was the interviewers obvious cynicism with regard to GS.The worm has turned,whatever they say at the end of the clip.
My company has recently started blocking blogs......I hate them for it. I still get the heart of your discussions here, but can not get what ever is being presented...just a box with an X in the corner. I take it is a scribbed piece. Is there anyway around what they are doing so I can read it, or is there another way of loading it to you site???
Now we have WarrantGate today. This is just surreal.
Also, after massive denials by the JP about competitive currency wars - the next day they go back to their old ways and intervene against the Yen today...
I think it's time to liquidate all market positions and go on vacation. Until 2010.
Because the USG wants to protect Goldman Sachs' numero uno position and have the ability to make Goldman do its bidding when needed. see earlier posts regarding Fattiponti's claim that Sergey's dastardly act had the danger of allowing others to "manipulate" markets. So Goldman can manipulate, others cannot and the USG will protect their position. so simple....really
Very entertaining. I give this reporter some real credit for mocking the FBI and the Justice Department for being the lackeys of GS. Which they are of course. While the guys at the top can brush that off down the line people get pissed. Get motivated to dig just a bit deeper. To ask the extra question.
It would be worthwhile to alert all other world trading groups of GS's obvious talent in unfair trading.
Other countries might not be as willing to cooperate with the GS thieves blatantly criminal activities. A worldwide boycott of the NYSE would get the thieves attention.
Maybe a real government somewhere will step up since the USA's group of bribed criminals are staying true to their keepers.
Wall St should be renamed Transylvania St.
Fit only for blood sucking parasites and dead victims.

"A worldwide boycott of the NYSE would get the thieves attention." that sounds all well and good and i completely agree with you, but that just means the fed will continue to feed gs funds for the sake of liquidity (not), they'll continue to make their spectacular commissions and manipulate the markets more accutely in the process. my favorite cnbc moments are when they interview old school floor traders (e.g., art cashin) and they basically say they don't know what the heck's going on because all of the trading is programmed and done by computers and such. those comments coinciding with that deer-in-the-headlights look is priceless. lol

Yes, it would be absurd to not issue the standard disclaimer.

Goldman is a parasite like Enron. Enron hasn't been missed, nor will Goldman. Die Goldman, die!

Your own proxy site is a really cheap service. Plenty of little server houses do it.

The point is if this program can unfairly manipulate the market then why does ANYBODY have it?
