Goldman-Sachs Allumni in the US Administration

I recently had an argument on one of the Internet forums with a rather recent Russian immigrant into the US who still has rose glasses on. He believed the President does not only mean, but will actually do everything he promised, he trusted that there is no corruption in the US government, he was convinced that our domestic and foreign policy is always dictated by the considerations of the common good. I maintained that the current Administration is so heavily dominated by people with the closest possible links to the Wall Street, that Washington turned into a Wall Street instrument of political power, and that all efforts so far have been aimed at saving only the top players in the financial sphere. Here is a concise list of people previously closely connected to one firm only, Goldman Sachs, who are serving or have served in a variety of leadership positions in the current and past Administration. This is just a quick reference guide in case you would need to look it up.
