'radiating a confident forcefulness, he came to stand for the dominating Goldman brand. In the Wall Street hierarchy, Goldman is the smartest and most confident of them all: the firm makes bets, but only ones it feels sure to win.'
So, the guy who knows what he knows and what he doesn't know only makes bets he can win....yeah, that's pretty idiotic imo.
I think that Warren faker acts the same way...who does he think he is, admitting some things are over his head?

'This is exactly what private equity firms do'
Normally, but
'if the government had been offering buyout artists even a tenth of a percent lower rates...'
I disagree, KKR would never ever get involved with the Feds on the upside when the getting was good, c'mon EP!

Uh, when you owe enough money, it's the creditor that has major issues, not the debtor. The US can rollover its debt more or less forever. If the Tiannamen^2 crowd gets paper that's worth less, that's their problem.
Right now, deflation is a bigger worry.

I also don't see the point of this kind of post - it's just going to bring out the worst sorts of people - people who knew him already know anyway. My 2c.

But the $50Bn of Stimulus money that gets stolen will eventually get spent, right? Think of all the computing power, assistants, and machinery you need to buy to steal that much!
