Craig Roberts, Former Assistant Treasury Secretary has interesting comments on the bailouts, the dollar, and Goldman Sachs

Here is an interesting clip from a very outspoken Former Assistant Treasury Secretary on the bailouts, the dollar, and Goldman Sachs.



....

Craig Roberts: Bank bailout was a fraud and it won't succeed. Don't know what sort of stupidity the Treasury Secretary and the Federal Reserve will resort to next.

Max Keiser: Quick question. What should the Treasury Secretary be doing?

Craig Roberts: He should be trying to save the dollar as the world's reserve currency which means stopping the wars, reducing the bailout money, and trying to reduce the trade and budget deficits in order to save the dollar. That's what he should be doing.

Max Kesier: Does the treasury secretary work for the people or does he work for the banking system on Wall Street?

Craig Roberts: He works for Goldman Sachs.
