You were "arsed", but none of that has anything to do with you. So be "arsed" elsewhere.
What are you on about, you mong?

You can't be "arsed" and I retorted. Mong, please. No cooking shows for you. I am going to get Ainsley Harriot to put his hands in your food.
He actually is. I am not going to hate on Ainsley, even though he comes off as a sex pest.As much as I try to ingnore your off-beat non-sequitor bollocks, i'll have you know Ainsley is a f***ing ninja of a cook!

Dimon didn't make a lot of risky deals. JP Morgan turned a profit during the year of the bank collapse. Some banks were never at risk. Some banks were forced to take TARP money. Banks that have already returned it.. here is a list..

These banks had to ask permission to pay back the money.
Blankfein is another one who has led his company to profitability during hard times for banks. Huge bonuses is part of being in charge of a huge company, be it a bank or an auto-maker or an insurance company.
Some banks were basically told they had to take the money. If 9 banks stand tall and the rest are all taking money, everyone would have moved their assets to the successful banks. Taking TARP money was not to save JP and GS, it was to save the competition.

So the government had a choice.. let a bunch of banks collapse and lose tons of jobs or save all banks by making all banks look like they screwed up.
Since Obama knows that Dimon and Blankfein actually helped heal the banking industry he knows that they should get bonuses.
I would speculate that Bloomberg knows these facts but chooses to write a slanted article because let's be honest, people love to have something to complain about and this type of story allows for that much more so than a story about how the banking industry was saved by the very people they are trying to make look bad.
okay. I was just going by what the article implied and other stories about other people. My mistake.

It's an article from a well known publication.
My reaction was to Obama's remarks, which implied that these two were heads of banks that performed at below the level that might have been expected. He compared them to professional athletes who he seems to believe are overpaid, despite not performing as well as they might.
This analogy was pointless and misleading anyway you look at it.
It implies that these two did not deserve the bonuses because their performance was off.
I already said I was in error for jumping to a conclusion.
You seem not to have abandoned the conclusion, though.
Good luck with that. No one here is ever wrong.
You could post on here that "Liberals don't want us to know that polar bears can swim," be proven wrong, and then later re-post the same thing in another thread. It's amazing to see the things people believe, and the mental gymnastics they go through to avoid reconsidering what just sounds right to them.
WASHINGTON – A new congressional report released Friday says the United States' long-term fiscal woes are even worse than predicted by President Barack Obama's grim budget submission last month.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts that Obama's budget plans would generate deficits over the upcoming decade that would total $9.8 trillion. That's $1.2 trillion more than predicted by the administration.
The agency says its future-year predictions of tax revenues are more pessimistic than the administration's. That's because CBO projects slightly slower economic growth than the White House.
The deficit picture has turned alarmingly worse since the recession that started at the end of 2007, never dipping below 4 percent of the size of the economy over the next decade. Economists say that deficits of that size are unsustainable and could put upward pressure on interest rates, crowd out private investment in the economy and ultimately erode the nation's standard of living.
***
For the ongoing budget year, CBO predicts a record $1.5 trillion deficit. That's actually a little better than predicted by the White House, but at 10 percent of gross domestic product, it's bigger than any deficit in history other than those experienced during World War II.
The tactic -- known as a "self-executing rule" or a "deem and pass"....
I know Theo, I just don't get it.It is now beyond disturbing how obsessed the Democrats have become about passing massive health care legislation that virtually the entire country opposes.
It seems they will stop at nothing to defy the will of the people.
House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it
A Demon Pass. Wow. I mean, "deem and pass". Hmm. Is this democracy?
It's about time to make sure you're loaded up on guns and ammo, folks. The socialist swine are taking us down an ugly road.

I like my health insurance. For a $10 copay I go to whatever doctor I want, when I want.
All I know if this passes it will cost me more money to insure people who don't have insurance.
Selfish bastard
