Goldman Sachs in Talks to Acquire Treasury Department
Sister Entities to Share Employees, Money
[This article is satire]
In what some on Wall Street are calling the biggest blockbuster deal in the history of the financial sector, Goldman Sachs confirmed today that it was in talks to acquire the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
According to Goldman spokesperson Jonathan Hestron, the merger between Goldman and the Treasury Department is "a good fit" because "they're in the business of printing money and so are we."
The Goldman spokesman said that the merger would create efficiencies for both entities: "We already have so many employees and so much money flowing back and forth, this would just streamline things."
Mr. Hestron said the only challenge facing Goldman in completing the merger "is trying to figure out which parts of the Treasury Dept. we don't already own."
Goldman recently celebrated record earnings by roasting a suckling pig over a bonfire of hundred-dollar bills.
It is funny because it is true.
John Stewart is bad for my nervous system. He almost gets it but then he doesn't.
Jon Stewart is more relibable in news and information, than CNN or MSNBC. Not the best source, but a relibable one. Thank god I am not spending my money on basic cable for low-quality news stations.
