Only in America

The Wall Street Journal last week reported that the nation’s top 23 banks and investment firms plan to give out a record $140 billion in bonuses. The Dow may be back up over the 10,000 mark, but unemployment is still going up, too, to nearly 10 percent, more than double what it was at the beginning of this decade.

...Bank of America is about to pay out $30 billion in bonuses, followed by JPMorganChase at $29.5 billion, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs at $22 billion each, and Morgan Stanley at $16.4 billion.

Certainly not much change there...
