According to Matt Taibbi - journalist, author and contributing editor to Rolling Stone magazine , Wall Street executives from Goldman Sachs should be plucked from the board room and thrown into court. If Roger Clemens and Martha Stewart are brought before juries for lying, why shouldn't the same happen to the men who are responsible for the state of the US dollar? Wall Street is a direct threat to the national security of America, says Taibbi, and he fears that the country's economy is in danger of going completely corrupt.Another interesting connection between Goldman Sachs and Greece: Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government to mask the true extent of its deficit with the help of a derivatives deal that legally circumvented the EU Maastricht deficit rules. At some point the so-called cross currency swaps will mature, and swell the country's already bloated deficit.
