I just wonder who voted no, that makes me wonder.
Quote from retaildaytrader:
Thanks guys for voting. Out of a 100 random people, at least 80% believe there was some type of collusion and conspiracy with the government and Goldman Sachs.
This by far is not a real statisical sample, but it makes me wonder. If most people believe there was a conspiracy, why isnt this investigated? Why isnt Congress holding hearings? Why isnt there more outrage?

You made a title with the word "conspiracy" in it. You basically attracted the nutjobs and cranks into this thread - likely people who think fluoride in the water supply is for mind control.
There is a simple answer to your question of why there is no investigation: because there is nothing worth investigating. The people that are outraged are the ones that are sore losers and instead of making money would rather blame the people who did for their own losses and failures.
Goldman has made more money then other firms for a long time - they are looked at as the best firm on wall st. Why only now are there articles being written? Because they paid back the bailout first? Why is that a surprise if they didn't need the money in the first place? Every large bank was forced to take bailout funds, even the ones that didn't need it. Too many people think now that because they "know" about goldman they are "educated" on the evil's of wall st. The only thing worse then the talking heads is when main st. starts repeating what they say, ad-nasium.

They are not the best firm on Wall St, just the firm that makes the most money and seems to time things with uncanny perfection.
Government work doesnt pay very much cash and, if you notice, many of these politicians seem to spend a lot of cash. For example, Ben Bernanke. Here is a picture of where he currently resides (looked it up on zabasearch.com by the way):

This condo costs over a million dollars. Now how does he afford this property on a 180,000 a year salary?
Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. There is no place I have ever worked where there was not some form of corruption. There is no one that I have ever known who has not done something a little sneaky to include myself.
Believe me, there was a conspiracy and to say there isnt is just wishful thinking.
