Hillary's Campaign Financial Strategist Is a Former V.P. of..... (I'll give you 3 guesses)

Goldman Sachs.

That's right folks. Dan Beksha, former VP of Goldman Sachs is a budget strategist for Hillary. I'm sure Dan's a self-made-man who worked his way up through the trenches of Wall Street though.


Here's his linked-in page:

Well, at least he's a "Democrat". I bet he knows what Hillary said...

From HRC's perspective, who better to run your finances than an expert in finances?

This has become remarkable to watch. Such silliness.

If you're in finance and not on Wall Street, you must be some unemployed socialist. Because all the best people with finance educations go to Wall Street. There's nowhere else to look.

Come from Goldman Sachs and the other major financial firms. They tell us that's why an outsider can't regulate them, because nobody else is smart enough to understand what they do.
