Goldman Sachs chief: Sanders's criticism is 'dangerous'

http://thehill.com/policy/finance/268038-goldman-sachs-chief-sanderss-criticism-is-dangerous

The head of Goldman Sachs believes being singled out for criticism by Bernie Sanders represents a “dangerous moment” for the country.

Lloyd Blankfein, the Wall Street giant’s chief executive, said Wednesday that the Democratic presidential candidate might have gone too far in personally targeting him.

“To personalize it, it has potential to be a dangerous moment. Not just for Wall Street ... but for anybody who is a little bit out of line,” he said in an interview with CNBC.

Sanders has railed against Wall Street throughout his populist campaign, accusing the financial industry of ruining the economy and holding down the middle class. And he has singled out Blankfein and his company as a poster child for the greed and recklessness he says is endemic in finance.

In a January interview with Bloomberg, he specifically mentioned Blankfein as representing greed on Wall Street, for taking massive pay packages “after destroying the economy.”

It's not enough he is wallowing in ill-gotten gains, he's now whining about Bernie talking about him?

If the greedy SOB doesn't like being criticized for bringing the economy to its knees and stealing millions of American homes through mortgage fraud, he could quit his cushy job.

Go Bernie GO!!!

Who just want "free stuff".

Just dont say anything mean about billionaires and hedge fund managers who knowingly crashed the economy by peddling bad and risky mortgage backed securities and simultaneously made out like fucking bandits through betting against the very shit products they were passing off on the rubes.
