NEW YORK (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc is on pace to make record bonus payouts after a robust first half, the Guardian newspaper reported on Sunday.
Goldman staff in London were briefed on the outlook and told they could look forward to the bonus hikes if the company registers its most profitable year ever, the report said.
The surge in projected profit can be attributed to a lack of competition and increased revenue from trading foreign currency, bonds and fixed-income products, the newspaper said, citing insiders at the firm.

thousands of jobs here at home being lost every week. No monies yet for major projects like highways, electrical grid, health care iffy and only with cuts to existing programs, no credit for education and on and on...BUT the big banks and money changers got their trillion! Yeppers, Barack you certainly brought 'change' alright. Not! You kept the same people on that Cheney/Bush had, and promoted some of the imbecilic bastards to boot.
Mr. president you better get your head turned around the right direction, quit believing your own press corps, and start delivering some hard, real substative solutions. NOW! Or you might just be taking lessons on how to handle huge civil protests right here at home... oh wait, no study necessary, you have all of the Cheney/Bush boys and girls handy to tell you what to do.
had to edit the subject line because some DU 'leader' thought it was flamebait maybe. I still say **** OBAMA!!!! enough is enough
Okay. That does it. The badgering primitive is on franksolich's excresence list.
I dunno if the badgering primitive understands what being on franksolich's excresence list means, but perhaps the badgering primitive should inquire of other primitives on franksolich's excresence list.
My fellow alum Skins is NOT "some DU 'leader'".
Because of the old school tie, I don't take criticism, even mild, of a fellow alum lightly.

1. Nice thread title.
I would suggest you edit it. Because this looks like flame bait.

2. I bet I could turn a profit, too, if the Government gave me $35 billion.

6. When asked directly by the head of DU to change your title--you might want to consider doing it.
Or is DU having a big FU to all authority figures today?

8. What bratty behavior.
You just couldn't change the subject line without adding the offending words to the body of your thread. Grow up.

I'm glad to see David is being consistent. I remember all the "**** Bush" threads he locked.

Highly doubtul, TexasToast. If you received $35B from the government, I sense you'd spend half of it going towards hookers and booze.

Well now, because Pedro Picasso's wife isn't an internet personality, I myself never pay attention to her, leaving her alone, but I've always sort of suspected she's either considerable eye-candy or has the patience of a saint, or both.
So maybe not hookers, as Pedro Picasso seems to get his male urges satisified the old-fashioned way.
The booze, well, that's a lot of money, more than enough to satiate the Bostonian Drunkard.
One suspects Pedro Picasso would just spend it on new toys, to boast about it among the other primitives. He has this Erysichthonian appetite for toys.
It's far too late now, but it's a pity that circa 45 years ago, when decent and civilized people learn such things, Pedro Picasso never understood it's not what one has that matters; it's what one is that matters.

.....and the root cause of it all is money. Someone stands to earn a dollar more than a DUmmie gets on his welfare check.

No, it's the love of money that is the problem.
