The bill could run into hundreds of millions of pounds after ruthless City speculators left Southern Cross Healthcare in dire straits. There is anger and outrage that so many lives have been thrown into turmoil through the actions of City venture capitalists. The U.S. private equity firm Blackstone, led by Stephen Schwarzman, bought Southern Cross in 2004 for £162million and sold it three years later. It is believed to have quadrupled its investment. But to achieve this it sold off the company’s homes, robbing Southern Cross of its capital and forcing it to lease the properties back from another company. Click for Full Text!

That same year he had the dubious honour of being declared the ‘new King of Wall Street’ just months before the biggest crash in its history. He was certainly the king of conspicuous consumption. While other private equity moguls tend to be shy of publicity, Schwarzman advertises his self-indulgence at every opportunity. snip Raised in suburban Philadelphia, Schwarzman, 64, who is estimated to be worth more than £4billion, went to Harvard Business School and was managing director of the investment bank Lehman Brothers by the time he was 31. In 1985, he set up the Blackstone Group (schwarz is German for black) with Peter Peterson, a former Lehman’s colleague and former US Commerce Secretary under President Nixon. It originally specialised in company mergers and acquisitions but after two decades of clever investments in almost every sector of the economy, it had grown into the world’s biggest private equity investment firm. snip In 2010, he compared one of President Obama’s plans to limit the financial rewards of Wall Street bosses to Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939. In 2010, he compared one of President Obama’s plans to limit the financial rewards of Wall Street bosses to Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939. Limiting financial rewards for these guys is too generous. lucysmom  posted on  2011-06-03   11:30:26 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #2.

To: Skip Intro, Rudgear, lucysmom (#6) The so called conservatives keep pushing a story that SS and medicare are killing seniors or is bad for seniors as a defense - yet seniors kill any politician that dares mess with those programs. That is customer loyalty. If it was a horrible program seniors, who vote in large numbers, would have eliminated the program long ago. This proves Rudgear's comment is based on willful ignorance, stupidity or outright lie. Godwinson  posted on  2011-06-03   14:19:25 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #8.
