    It is really hot in NYC today. It feels like the entire city is CG’s office in the Equinox steam room. I really wish my suit was sleeveless now.

    Boehner leveled particular criticism at proposed tax surcharges on the wealthy contained in the House bill. The surcharges intended to raise $550 billion over 10 years start at 1 percent for people reporting income of more than $350,000, go to 1.5 percent for those with income of more than $500,000 and climb to 5.4 percent for those with income of more than $1 million.
    Yes we can!

    @3 I suppose that happens after the US public bails out a company on the brink, and they announce record profits less than a year later.
    You can’t ask GS to stop making profitable trades, but it really shows how poorly the terms of the bailout were put together.
