Former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein said Sen. Bernie Sanders would 'ruin our economy.' Sanders' response? 'A billionaire executive on Wall Street doesn't like me. I am shocked by that. I am really shocked.'

In the wake of Sanders' New Hampshire primary win Tuesday night, Blankfein sent out a tweet that took shots at both Sanders and President Donald Trump.If Dems go on to nominate Sanders, the Russians will have to reconsider who to work for to best screw up the US. Sanders is just as polarizing as Trump AND he'll ruin our economy and doesn't care about our military. If I'm Russian, I go with Sanders this time around.

— Lloyd Blankfein February 12, 2020 Sanders' proposals include major increases in corporate taxes and taxes on the rich, breaking up big tech companies that have helped lift the overall market, curbing stock buybacks and instituting Medicare for fall to provide government-run health care for all Americans.Sanders wasn't too heartbroken over Blankfein's criticism when asked about it by CNN on Wednesday."Let me see, a billionaire executive on Wall Street doesn't like me.

I think prioritizing military over human well-being is obscene. So I am glad he doesn't care about our military. Again, not scared.— SheWhoWillNotObey February 12, 2020 Blankfein hasn't donated money to any presidential candidates this election cycle, according to OpenSecrets.org, which tracks campaign finance records. He has given money to both Democrat and Republican candidates and political action committees in the past.

I am not a former Wall Street executive and I also believe Bernie would destroy our economy. Whether he means well or has an agenda to profit from. The best way to stimulate our economy is to allow us to keep our money. Socialism only stimulates our representatives pockets.

Our 'economy' is geared to create a slave class. We, the workers, do all the work but all the money goes straight to the top. The actual goal in business would be to share the wealth with those that actually worked hard to create it. Capitalism in the US is broken!

No one should personally have a billion dollars. Absolutely NO ONE. Bernie2020 BernieBeatsTrump NotMeUs

'Goldman Sachs and the other too-big-to-fail financial firms only exist today due to the generosity and decisive role of the U.S. government and taxpayers in stopping the crisis and saving those Wall Street giants with trillions of dollars in bailouts.'

The CEO is right. And Bernie used to agree. In 1987, Bernie said single payer (medicare for all) would bankrupt the nation.

Is there an example of when SenSanders economic model has worked?

Bernie can say whatever he wants about billionairies, the CEO is right, Bernie would ruin our economy and more. That’s my opinion and I am not a millionaire or billionaire. NeverBernie

Yes and what will happen to you and your millions BernieSanders? What about your lake house? What about all your other assets? Do you get to keep those

He’s going to disturb the 💴, same thing happen when Roosevelt ran...

The old fossil has been a politician for 40yrs. Has given minorities nickels while he's enriched himself on the backs of the taxpayer.

Former bankers say “ We ruined the economy” Mr. Sanders is shocked by this honesty.

Funny how Sanders didn't deny it.

Nee hoor, dat deed Goldman Sachs al met Griekenland door de balans frauduleus te vervalsen en de brokken aan de EU te laten.

Idiots who think someone who’s going to be president is going to help poor to middle class people are the real problem.

Lloyd Blankfein, the same Lloyd Blankfein that help crash the economy back in 2008...?

So he ignored the issue

MazenSle

Anyone that has taken a finance course knows Bernie would destroy the economy. He is not a democratic socialist, whatever the hell that is, he is a communist. Government before people with the elite ruling everything.

2008 crisis ? Who made it again ?

The economy..the economy...the economy...People making 9-10 dollars an hour don't give a damn how great the mystical economy is if they're slaving away in debt, needing quality health care and can barely afford a decent lifestyle. 'The economy' is a red herring chant.

'Bernie, he didn't say he didn't like you. He just said you're incompetent.'

Lloyd Blankfein ruined the economy.

He would do a lot more than ruin the economy

Destroy whose economy? The economy for people working 2 jobs and still barely making it was ruined a long time ago! So explain ' destroyed'.. you mean layingboff a layer or two of over paid, golden parachute receiving , incompetent CEOs, VPs and other unnecessary dead weight?

Bernie’s shocked face

The add is for alka seltzer funny because bernie is the old commie seltzer man! Also the most dangerous person out there! Communist kill! Read your history books!

Why would I care about a billionaire losing money

This is your big story? Reaching a bit

If the financial crisis didn't ruin our economy, I don't think a more traditional and common system like the one Sanders wants will.

No shit Bernie Sanders is a Russian implant to destroy our economy!!!!

Bernie has the best health insurance plan I have ever heard.bernie 2020

It won't matter no one's going to vote for Sanders. Trump's first to voters it running against Bernie Sanders would be the Obamas now that they're worth hundreds of millions are not going to give it to Bernie to squander.

It's taken a long time for a fair dinkum progressive to run for president.

Plans total 60 trillion over 10 years, we bring in 3 trillion a year in taxes. Simple math people

This guy is literally the definition of a welfare queen who used massive government subsidies to bail out his bank and edge out of the competition during a time when his institution was a key player in facilitating the great recession. Nice take, but he should be in prison.

Bullsh....!
