To borrow one of Mad Max’s recent favorite sayings, the chickens are coming home to roost in the State of New York. As the collected works of Ken Feinberg, Andrew Cuomo and the angry mob of legislators without anything better to do continue to clamp down on bonuses, the state coffers are starting to look a little empty. Of the $2.1 billion hole that needs to be filled, $584 million comes from income taxes that fell short of April projections. If California is any guide, the New York bonus death squad may soon have to mull over which is the most reprehensible to them- getting their pay checks in IOU format, watching Jimmy Cayne (legally) fire up a joint in Central Park, or allowing people to get paid.

very good Greg.
Greg did his best but I guess his best wasnt good enough ’cause here we are back where we were before. Seems nothing ever changes. We’re back to being strangers. Wondering if we oughta stay or head on out the door. Just once cant Greg figure out what he’s been doing wrong, why his comment section never lasts for very long, what is he doing wrong?

@7 & 8 you annoying double posting troll, I bet if Greg had a Vagina you would love him. What the hell is he supposed to write about?
Keep up the good work Greg.

Moron @9, if you were here long enough you’d know people used to pick on EP all the time for her bland stories and general lack of wit. In retrospect, she seems like a genius compared to Greg but that’s a whole different issue.
hate greg but this was good
All bonuses to tax-payer supported financial firms should be paid as IOUs. Payable when the firm is off all government welfare programs.
(basically, the bonuses will then never actually get paid…but I digress)
@6 whats the whole point that you are dick w/ears?
trust me you made your point.

Equity Private and Greg are two different animals entirely.
Equity Private wrote as if people were looking for direction in the posts. Better put, that people were actually READING the posts.
Greg writes as if nobody is going to read his posts.
Waay different beast.
@SBII that made no sense, but thanks.
