Part of the business model of Goldman Sachs, along with countless other investment banks, has been to trade debt obligations for profit. As part of this strategy, Goldman Sachs purchsed consolidated mortgage loan obligations from lenders and sold the repackaged obligations to other banks and financial institutions at a profit. As part of the repackaging, low expectations of loan repayment were hidden, encouraging Goldman Sachs' clients to purchase the loan obligations without fully understanding how unlikely it was that mortgage holders would actually pay those loans back. As more and more mortgage holders defaulted, the companies Goldman Sachs had sold loan obligations to began to lose money, and as these companies were clients of Goldman Sachs, so did Goldman Sachs.

There is no doubt that actions taken by Goldman Sachs employees had a part in causing the financial crisis of the late 2000s. Furthermore, actions taken by former Goldman Sachs employees, like [[Henry Paulson]], likely worsened the recession.

While other companies, which were arguably at least as responsible for the recession as Goldman Sachs ([[AIG]] is a great example), have received some media scrutiny, no company has been as violently attacked as Goldman Sachs.

* "Give me control of a nation's [[money]] and I care not who makes the laws." -- [[Mayer Amschel Rothschild]] of the [[Rothschild family]]
* "The [[Rothschilds]] are the wonders of modern [[banking]] ... we see the descendants of [[Judah]], after a persecution of two thousand years, peering above [[king]]s, rising higher than [[emperor]]s, and holding a whole continent in the hollow of their hands. The Rothschilds govern a [[Christian]] world. Not a cabinet moves without their advice. They stretch their hand, with equal ease, from [[Saint Petersburg|Petersburgh]] to [[Vienna]], from Vienna to [[Paris]], from Paris to [[London]], from London to [[Washington]]. Baron Rothschild, the head of the house, is the true king of Judah, the prince of the captivity, the [[Messiah]] so long looked for by this extraordinary people. He holds the keys of peace or [[war]], blessing or cursing. ... They are the brokers and counselors of the kings of [[Europe]] and of the [[republican]] chiefs of [[America]].
