Remove from government and administration roles those who promoted or benefited from unregulated financial markets

Created by I.G. on November 28, 2011

All of these people played a role in the economic collapse through which Americans and the rest of the world are now suffering. Larry Summers (Treasury Secretary 1999-2001) worked to ban regulation of derivatives. Timothy Geithner (Former Pres. of NY Federal Reserve) and Ben Bernanke (as Chairman of Federal Reserve) cost taxpayers $150 billion in their push to bailout AIG while making sure that AIG paid Goldman Sachs $61 million. Mark Patterson is the former lobbyist for Goldman Sachs. Gary Gensler is a former Goldman Sachs executive. Lewis Sachs and Mary Shapiro headed up financial companies that profited by the collapse of the mortgage market. All these people as well as Laura Tyson and Martin Feldstein are against regulation of the financial markets.
