Not that up with US stuff, but didn't GS get money from the government during the AIG bailout? If so, doesn't that give every one in the US complaining rights?

- sp332 15y agoYeah I guess :) But GS paid the money back now, I'm not sure how much preferred stock the USA still owns in GS.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoThey paid TARP back but not the AIG backdoor bailout, iirc. That's the reason for the continuing brouhaha over AIG - Goldman (and other AIG counterparties) got 100% of what they had at risk with AIG, no haircut, all via the US govt bailout, and didn't pay it back (b/c it wasn't paid directly to them in the first place, hence 'backdoor' bailout).
- TruthElixirX 15y agoThe government robbed us, gave it to GS, and then GS pays the government back and the government blows up brown people. What a win for the U.S. tax payer!
