This may not be news to some of you, but it was to me. The

transcripts are available on wikileaks.

Some of the quotes get right to the heart of the matter. Hillary Clinton, for instance, believes that the best solution is for the banks to regulate themselves:

There's nothing magic about regulations, too much is bad, too little is bad. How do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works? And the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry.

The context there is that she is acknowledging that Wall Street failed to perform it's desirable function within the economy but is looking to Wall Street to correct that. In essence, she's saying that what happened was a mistake rather than the crime of the century. Compare and contrast that to Bernie Sanders who famously said, "The model of Wall Street is fraud."

Also in the second Goldman-Sachs speech she was quick to affirm that the issue was too much regulation:

And we need banking. I mean, right now, there are so many places in our country where the banks are not doing what they need to do because they're scared of regulations, they're scared of the other shoe dropping, they're just plain scared, so credit is not flowing the way it needs to to restart economic growth.

Yes, you read that right. The issue with Wall Street is that they are regulated too tightly according to Hillary Clinton.... in her own words... paid words.

There's a lot more of interest in her own words. Go ahead and click on the button above and then the "attachments" tab to download the three word documents. It's interesting to see the context. The quotes I gave you above are not spun out of context in some way. My best understanding of her GS2 speech is that she believes what happened in '08 was too much government interference and too little self-regulation.

ps: gotta love my fun link "button". Now if only I could get hover and push effects working I could have the flashiest posts ever!
