"set to pay record bonuses this year.... $29.7 billion in bonuses, according to analysts’ estimates. That’s up 60 percent from last year and more than the previous high of $26.8 billion in 2007"
I'll give you THREE GUESSES WHO is getting them!
"3 firms poised to pay record bonuses" by Bloomberg News | November 9, 2009
NEW YORK - Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s investment bank, survivors of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, are set to pay record bonuses this year.
The TERMINOLOGY makes you SICK, doesn't it?
Yeah, THANK YOU TAXPAYERS for CLEARING OUR BOOKS and STUFFING PROFITS in OUR POCKETS!!
The firms, the three biggest banks to exit the Troubled Asset Relief Program, will hand out $29.7 billion in bonuses, according to analysts’ estimates. That’s up 60 percent from last year and more than the previous high of $26.8 billion in 2007. The money, split among 119,000 employees, equals $250,400 for each, almost five times the $50,303 median household income in the United States last year, data compiled by Bloomberg show....
Yup, IN ONE YEAR!!!
Yup, MILLIONS ADDED to the UNEMPLOYMENT ROLLS every month, but AT LEAST WALL STREET'S BIG THREE handed out the BIGGEST BONUSES EVER!
They may still face public wrath over the size of bonuses.
That hasn't seemed to matter much based on their repeated actions.
This mean anything, because it is apparently all you guys understand.
Didn't find a heart in corpse, either.
Pure, heartless, filthy evil, folks.
They make my point for me:

Yeah, GOD'S WORK, huh, Blankfein!?
Mr Blankfein said: “We help companies to grow by helping them raise capital. Companies that grow create wealth. This, in turn, allows people to have jobs that create more wealth. We have a social purpose.”
Mr Blankfein said that limiting bankers’ pay would harm the financial system. “I don’t want to put a cap on their ambition. The financial system may have led us into crisis but it will lead us out.”
Yup, the ZIONIST LOOTERS that CAUSED the CRISIS and ENRICHED THEMSELVES BEYOND BELIEF are going to SAVE US NOW!!
