I thought this is a bi-partisan disgrace. The former treasury who approved TARP for his cronies at Goldman is a Republican, so is the former Black head of Merrill Lynch who was George Bush's top fundraiser.
This is obscene. As millions of Americans are jobless, homeless, and without health care, these despicable people are taking home millions in bonuses courtesy of the American taxpayers.

I was against TARP, and the Bush stimulus, smaller government is the way to go.

thing is, some of the investors have reached returns goals (ie have made their investors tons of money)
in my opinion, you have to make good on the contracts of those who have actually reached their goals (mostly commodities)........unless, of course you want to waste ALL of the govt money

Without the taxpayer's TARP rescue money, there is no company, no jobs, no contracts, no bonus, and zero investors return.
Without taxpayer's TARP rescue money, employees of Goldman, JPMoran, Morgan Stanley, and Citibank are just like the employees of Lehman Brothers and Bears Stern; jobless.
These people should be LUCKY to even have job. They should contribute all these obscene profit to the taxpayers/ Federal government to reduce budget deficit.
These vultures of Wall Street are financial terrorists.

That is hilarious!
First, the greed of the banking group is so perverted that this is almost unimaginable. Everyone (with the exception of bankers) is outraged. But wait, it's the Democrats fault. Don't you know that Wall Street is crawling with Dems. Yes, we should blame the Democrats.
Let's Skip the fact that these people are scum and go straight to blaming the party which you oppose. Not that that is logical, just that it fits nicely with your agenda.
It's amazing how these people are supposed to be experts in numbers, accounting, financials, and balance sheets... and yet are so horrible (or simply immoral) when it comes to their own companies.

It would be FOOLISH to believe these excessive bonuses have anything to do with partisan politics...very foolish.
Bank Bonuses Exceed profits...
