Top 10 ways to spend a Goldman Sachs bonus - CSMonitor.com
Besides chest-thumping fourth-quarter earnings, Goldman Sachs also announced its bonus pool on Thursday. At $16.2 billion, the total is 20 percent lower than the firm's 2007 level but still amounts to an average of just under $500,000 per employee.
That—the quote from the CSMonitor above—was published on January 21 this year, just a little more than a month before David Brooks' column in the NYTimes yesterday in which, with regard to the current deficit–cutting craze:
The sacrifice should be spread widely and fairly.
So there's my problem. I don't remember David Brooks saying anything at all about spreading that Goldman Sachs wealth fairly, unfairly, or any which way at all. But surely he must have, don't you think? A fair guy like David Brooks?
