		<description>Whore, you can&#039;t even read a balance sheet or an income statement. Net profit is what&#039;s LEFT OVER after all expenses (including bonuses) are paid out of revenue. That net profit is what goes to retained earnings, and may be paid out in dividends.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s what I understand - 30 000 Wisconsin jobs lost in December of 2009 alone. 

Looking to a leach bureaucrat to &quot;create jobs&quot; is the height of hilarity.</description>

		<description>You don&#039;t even know which way is up when it comes to economics.  

Let me try to make it simple, or shall I say simple enough for you.  Goldman came out with earnings yesterday - of course you already knew that, din&#039;t&#039;cha - and for the year they dropped $13.5 billion to the bottom line, or net earnings, as we like to call the final tally.

They paid out over $16-billion in bonuses against net earnings of $13.5.  This, from a company that needed a $25-billion loaner of tax-payer bailout money to stay afloat.  

Knock, knock, McNavy Flyer, do ya think if GS wasn&#039;t walking so much money out the back door that their increased retained earnings might help &#039;em survive the next rainy day, or is that what we tax-payers are for?  

Loooney, go loooooney, all noOBOMBa!11!!!!  

Make sense or get psyche help, fweemawket freeloader.</description>

		<description>The latest obsession is an attempt to regain popular appeal through bashing a group that they feel is safe to use as a scapegoat-mostly rich white guys in the banking industry.

It is a classic approach, especially when a change of subject is needed as badly as the Obama bunch does; change of subject from their signature issue failure as well as the rebuke dealt Tuesday by Massachusettes voters.  And they believe that the bankers will be a useful villain, kind of like Boooooooosh! was recently, and like the Jews were in 1930&#039;s Germany (&#039;nuff said).

Make no mistake though, this whole &quot;banking reform&quot; kabuki is actually less about reform than it is about finally enjoying a legislative success, finding a useful villain to rally the nutroots against, to appear like they are doing something about the economy, and to slap the banks down a bit for not being as fast and loose with credit as the administration wished they would be.  There are those on Obama&#039;s economic team that believe it would be just peachy if the banks would go back to easy-peasy credit so that the housing bubble could re-inflate, and that consumer consumption could be enabled once again by folks using their houses as an ATM machine; that would solve all our nations problems...

Like many of this administrations &quot;reforms&quot; this is not well thought out, but instead about what the proggy left would call &quot;fairness&quot;; in the same way that Obama said he would raise capital gains taxes, despite the well known correlation between lowering those rates and increased treasury revenues, &lt;i&gt;because of the fairness&lt;/i&gt;.
