Wall Street JournalThe Social Good Wall Street also needs to do a "better job of understanding when incentives begin to work against the social good," he said. Overly lucrative pay packages when times were good and during the times of losses and taxpayer bailouts that followed are "just the exact opposite of the way anybody wants it to be."
Never thought I'd see the day when a banker would be touting Social Good instead of toxic securites.

agree...
I saw this video yesterday (the one with the two female protesters). I was a little stunned too.
Hes full of it....just look at the compensation he recieved in 2008. If he's such an advocate of social good I wonna see some empirical evidence.
He's playing the press better than anyone else out there. He's giving the masses what they want to hear.
I wouldn't say better than anyone else out there. Can you say Barack Obama?
Not to mention he has a jd from Harvard Law. Lawyer/Jewish? not the best mixture especially when your promoting social sustainability.
full disclosure I love jewish women
Fixed.
The only "sustainability" I care about is that my estate stays large enough that my heirs can do whatever the fuck they please. And I agree that Blankfein is obviously just playing the press; bankers are just looking at Buffett for an example of how to play the populist rich guy.
Drexel,
What the hell are you talking about bro. Your tangent is unwarranted and random as hell. My sons will be running your heirs to the ground (If you smell what the rock is cookin). However i just recieved word that Xerxes is planning an attack well meet his army at the hot gates where we can funnel his army and his numbers will account for nothing.....Sparta will need sons.
