Someone needs to put this crook under investigation.
So whose belief is it we should let the likes of hair plugs determine what the private sector does. That's what shareholders are for.
Maybe the entrepreneurs should meet up at Galt’s Gulch for cocktails.
Capitalism is the only economic system that buttresses individual rights. Biden is dumber than he looks. The Haavaad educated, light-weight-socialist, propagandists-created, king-of-the-collectivists, con-man might know better but that’s not his purpose.
Wasn't too shameful when Citigroup donated 8 million to your inauguration and then asked for my bailout money was it Obama?
Well, what about all the banks that didn’t make subprime loans, or deal in SIVs, and never lost money in any quarter.
Surely the people who work there deserve to be rewarded - especially the high executives who decided not to participate in folly.
Many of these banks were given TARP money, even though they didn’t need it, to get interbank lending going again.
Perhaps the ire is deserved. It's hard to defend Wall Street executives' pay. Last year, the Dow closed off 34%, its third-biggest loss ever, as trillions in wealth evaporated. And financial companies lost nearly $50 billion for their shareholders.Yet executives gave themselves hefty bonuses, claiming they had to do so in order to keep talented people.
This reminds me of a story from "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". A couple of traders got a tip on a stock from an elderly Wall Street guy who should have been in a position to know what he was talking about. The traders bought the stock, thinking they were going to make a good deal of money. Of course, the stock tanked, and the traders lost big. One of the fooled traders decided to send a message to the tipster calling him all sorts of names for having given a lousy tip, but the other one told him to hold off. "Why," the first trader asked. And the second trader said: "If you make the old guy mad, he won't give us any more tips!"
I would imagine that many of the folks whose investments have tanked over the past year or so wouldn't mind seeing some of these "talented" Wall Street jackasses take a hike. With talented people like that, who needs enemies?
Damn, a whole year just ripped by, that was pretty fast!!
Cannot do anything but a writer so out of touch he doesn't know what year it is. LOL
