...America stands at a crossroads, and Goldman Sachs now owns both of them. In choosing which road to take, ordinary Americans must not be distracted by unproductive resentment toward the toll-takers. To that end we at Goldman Sachs would like to dispel several false and insidious rumors.
Rumor No. 1: “Goldman Sachs controls the U.S. government.”
Every time we hear the phrase “the United States of Goldman Sachs” we shake our heads in wonder. Every ninth-grader knows that the U.S. government consists of three branches. Goldman owns just one of these outright; the second we simply rent, and the third we have no interest in at all. (Note there isn’t a single former Goldman employee on the Supreme Court.)
What small interest we maintain in the U.S. government is, we feel, in the public interest. Our current financial crisis has its roots in a single easily identifiable source: the envy others felt toward Goldman Sachs.
The bozos at Merrill Lynch, the dimwits at Citigroup, the nimrods at Lehman Brothers, the louts at Bear Stearns, even that momentarily useful lunatic Joe Cassano at AIG -- all of these people took risks that no non-Goldman person should ever take, in a pathetic attempt to replicate Goldman’s financial returns.
For too long we have allowed others to emulate us. Now we are working productively with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and the Congress to ensure that we alone are allowed to take the sort of risks that might destroy the financial system.
Rumor No. 2: “When the U.S. government bailed out AIG, and paid off its gambling debts, it saved not AIG but Goldman Sachs.”
... ... ...
Rumor No. 3: “As the U.S. government will eat the losses if Goldman Sachs goes bust, Goldman Sachs shouldn’t be allowed to keep making these massive financial bets.
... ... ...
Rumor No. 4: “Goldman employees all look alike.”
... ... ...
Rumor No. 5: Goldman Sachs is “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.”
... ... ...
Those words are of course taken from a recent issue of Rolling Stone magazine and they are transparently false.
For starters, the vampire squid doesn’t feed on human flesh. Ergo, no vampire squid would ever wrap itself around the face of humanity, except by accident. And nothing that happens at Goldman Sachs -- nothing that Goldman Sachs thinks, nothing that Goldman Sachs feels, nothing that Goldman Sachs does -- ever happens by accident.

Does Blinder's thumb-sucking cheerleading for the status quo get you a tenured position at Princeton and a column in the NYT, or do you get a tenured position at Princeton and a column in the NYT because you are a thumb-sucking cheerleader for the status quo?
Inquiring minds want to know!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur came to a House committee hearing on Thursday prepared to ask U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson tough questions about his involvement in the subprime mortgage crisis.
Unfortunately, she was questioning the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
The Ohio Democrat, at a ouse of Representatives Budget Committee hearing, said she wanted to know what Wall Street firms were responsible for the securitization of subprime mortgages.
She then asked: "Seeing as how you were the former CEO of Goldman Sachs ..." But the only person testifying at the hearing interrupted.
"No, no, no, you're confusing me with the Treasury Secretary," said Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
"I've got the wrong firm? Paulson, Oh, OK. Where were you sir?" Kaptur said.
Bernanke noted that he was head of the Princeton University economics department.
"Oh, Princeton, oh, all right, sorry. I got you confused with the other one ... I'm glad you clarified that for the record," she said.
The Cunning Realist has done it again: he's uncovered an oldie-but-goodie quote that seems to sum up the analytical capabilities of at least some of those who are charged with looking after our nation's economic interests.
"It's a safe banking system, a sound banking system. Our regulators are on top of it. This is a very manageable situation."
-Hank Paulson one year ago today.
One question: are these the words of a liar or a moron?

I had a good laugh when I heard that AER has offered authors with papers scheduled for publication the chance to withdraw them if they predict a strong economy -- and no one accepted. Getting published is more important than getting it right.
The macro profession failed to see the crisis coming, and I think it's because modern macro is indeed an apparatus, a body of techniques that's first of all for tackling academic puzzles and publishing, rather than a body of theory that deals with the behavior of real humans in any important way. Summers' "The Scientific Illusion in Modern Macro" deserves a re-reading.

FT AlphavilleAnd what was the most enlightening snippet of crisis-related information Henry Paulson, former US Treasury Secretary, revealed to some very hostile US House of Representatives?
The fact that he never used email while in office.
Here’s the exchange between Congresswoman Jackie Speier and Henry Paulson:
JS: Do you use email?
HP: Do I use email? No, I don’t use it, personally.
JS: You don’t use it personally or professionally?
HP: I just don’t. I’ve never used it for any business communications, I just never use it.
JS: So while you were Treasury secretary you never used email?
JS: How did you communicate with people?
HP: Telephone?
In the past Reptilicans and Sociocrats were so evenly matched that the American economy was in a constant state of schizophrenia, never quite committing itself to one failed philosophy or the other. The irony was that somewhere in between was about as good as it gets for America.
Now that Reptilicans have committed ritual self-immolation Sociocrats finally have the stage all to themselves and will predictably proceed to hang themselves in a few years at the end of their tired, 20th century socialist cliches.
What then? Perhaps in two or three years the pain will have grown so great that the blinders will finally fall from the average Americans' eyes and they'll see their true problem for what it is . . . that their society has been saddled with so many public and private sacred cows that it can't possibly compete and provide jobs until

Sister Entities to Share Employees, Money
In what some on Wall Street are calling the biggest blockbuster deal in the history of the financial sector, Goldman Sachs confirmed today that it was in talks to acquire the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
According to Goldman spokesperson Jonathan Hestron, the merger between Goldman and the Treasury Department is “a good fit” because “they’re in the business of printing money and so are we.”
The Goldman spokesman said that the merger would create efficiencies for both entities: “We already have so many employees and so much money flowing back and forth, this would just streamline things.”
Mr. Hestron said the only challenge facing Goldman in completing the merger “is trying to figure out which parts of the Treasury Dept. we don’t already own.”
Goldman recently celebrated record earnings by roasting a suckling pig over a bonfire of hundred-dollar bills.
Elsewhere, conspiracy theorists celebrated the 40th anniversary of NASA faking the moon landing.
And in South Carolina, Gov. Mark Sanford gave his wife a new diamond ring, while his wife gave him an electronic ankle bracelet.

Big mistake. A classic case of over expansion. Overhead will just explode. Try as they might, they just won’t be able to spin anything off. This will just kill their bottom line. They should just put the ego aside and let Tim and B.O. think they still run things. Sure they will have to eat a little shit now and then, but if it gets too rough they can hire a flunky to stand out in front and do it.
- This the craziest story I have ever heard. Goldman should just wait until China takes the US into bankrupcy court, then pick off the best assets for pennies on the dollar (or yuan). jeffgronwol

- What’s good for General Goldman is good for the USA!

From reader Andrew, a newly minted PhD:I ran into another Harvard student who recently had lunch with Ken Rogoff. Rogoff is telling students the following anecdote. Apparently Rogoff is involved in some way with the American Economics Review. (I couldn't find him on their web site, so some of the details in this story may need to be checked. But the student in question is not the type to make serious exaggerations.)The AER has a backlog of two to three years between when papers are submitted and when they appear in print. Some of the papers currently in the pipeline, submitted before the crisis broke, predicted that the U.S. or global economy would remain prosperous and stable for many years to come. Rogoff wrote to all of these authors, asking them if they would like to withdraw their articles or at least modify them. All refused.
Consequently, for something like the next three years, the AER will interleave articles explaining why the crisis occurred with articles explaining why the crisis could not occur.

Dear Mr. President,
This should prove a challenging week on the PR front for us at Goldman Sachs. There are a few situations surfacing for which appropriate clarification will provide you sufficient context in the event that the inevitable questions arise. We also have a couple of suggestions.
... ... ...
On other matters, thank you for keeping those lovable and sleepy bureaucrats at the SEC off our backs. We also have to express our sincere gratitude for leaving the AIG dogs to die without clamor. Our involvement was very profitable, but if it had surfaced too visibly, the exposure would have been embarrassing. Our boy Tim is pretty slick isn't he? He left all the folks in place at AIG who rode that trick pony over the abyss. Amazing talent. Keep him in the job for another year, or two, won't you? Make sure the billions in bailout checks are cashed before sending him to Paris as ambassador. We need to make sure our friends on the Street are still standing. Competition is good for us, to a certain extent. The smaller fish keep prying eyes busy.
On a sadder note, we feel really bad for the Iceland economic implosion, but hey, we didn't force them to buy our derivative packages. We sell what we can to make money. They had cash that needed to find a home, and we obliged.
We should point out that operating speculative derivative or futures markets outside the bounds of national or international oversight is fundamentally critical and necessary given the world we now live in. How else could we possibly continue to take advantage of events and situations around the globe unfolding at lightning speed and impacting the fluctuations in such things as commodities or financial instruments. You can get more background on this from Tim, but being nimble in a rapidly changing environment is critical to success. Nothing moves faster than money flowing over electronic waves. Agility is part of our very survival.

From FoxBusiness: Wells Fargo Bank Sues Itself (ht Rama)
... I could not resist asking Wells Fargo Bank NA why it filed a civil complaint against itself in a mortgage foreclosure case in Hillsborough County, Fla.Your TARP money hard at work ...
...
In this particular case, Wells Fargo holds the first and second mortgages on a condominium, according to Sarasota, Fla., attorney Dan McKillop, who represents the condo owner.As holder of the first, Wells Fargo is suing all other lien holders, including the holder of the second, which is itself.
... court documents clearly label "Wells Fargo Bank NA" as the plaintiff and "Wells Fargo Bank NA" as a defendant.
Wells Fargo hired Florida Default Law Group., P.L., of Tampa, Fla., to file the lawsuit against itself.
And then Wells Fargo hired another Tampa law firm -- Kass, Shuler, Solomon, Spector, Foyle & Singer P.A. -- to defend itself against its own lawsuit, according to court documents.
Wells Fargo's defense lawyers even filed an answer to their client's own complaint.
"Defendant admits that it is the owner and holder of a mortgage encumbering the subject real property," the answer reads. "All other allegations of the complaint are denied."
