Clinton & Goldman. No transcripts but here's a video of one

[CincyDem]

Not sure if this has been posted previously. It is likely one of the speeches HRC did for GS. Not sure why she or the campaign would be hesitant to release something like this. Maybe one of the others is less benign. Maybe the campaign just hasn't thought about how those speeches fit into their overall message track. Who knows.

Standard DU primary season disclaimer (the long version this time):

I'm in Ohio. By the time the show gets here for our March 15 primary, it's like Highlander (There can be only one) so when people ask who my candidate is the answer is easy...the one with the little donkey lapel pin. I can't care right now because thoughtful Dems in 21 other states will have their opinions heard before mine. They will do the heavy lifting of sorting out who among the Dems will be our candidate. If they pick HRC, she gets my vote. If they pick Bernie, he will get my vote. If they pick Bugs Bunny, the rabbit gets my vote (ok - maybe I'll think more about this one). My point is not that I don't care. It's that living in Ohio, I've got work to do in the general and I can't get confused by wishing there was some other Dem on the ballot in November. It's counterproductive and a crazy maker.

1. it isn't the private speech----

2. Even if it ISN'T the private speech, I'm hearing THIS...

Women are underserved in financial institutions. She was giving that speech as a strategic nod to her running in 2016 in 2014 as a voice to have women join in the finance industry. Much of what was in that speech was in reference to the Foundation's SHARED goals of Goldman Sacs. The message was to see that women WORLD WIDE were not the risk when it came to lending.

This is great news to lending institutions. World wide lending is what has kept the labor movement from having a level playing field.

Personally, it makes more sense to me have fair trade agreements than grow the GDP by debt.

Once you see the alignment of debt instruments as the GDP versus the sustainable jobs industry for woman (and men), you can pretty well see that she is absolutely aligned with the goals of the world bank and DEBT everywhere as "economies grow".

The economies themselves don't elevate the people, but the debt instruments help the goals of the Clinton Foundation and Goldman Sacs.

4. You are misinformed.

This is a public speech, not given to Goldman Sachs, but to the Clinton Global Initiative, aka The Clinton Foundation. The event was sponsored by Goldman Sachs, that's why their logo is everywhere. This was not a private, paid speech to Goldman Sachs. But really, I think you knew that already.

5. Just curious - you think I "...knew that already" how ?

Assuming that comment was directed at me as the OP (can't tell who you're feeling misinformed)...assuming that's me, what's the "tell" that I knew something already.

I'm just asking cuz from where I sit here inside my head, it's less obvious to me that it seems to be to you.

Thanks.

6. Clinton Foundation speech sponsored by Goldman Sachs?

says a lot about the credibility (or lack of) of this foundation.
