Hey guys,

I'm not sure if you've seen this article but I thought I share it with you to see what your thoughts are on this.

Who is this company you ask? We ALL know it. I guarantee you that. They just made $4 BILLION in profits and YET they are more BROKE that ever before in the history of their existence.

These guys know how to run a business, don't they?

Here's my question:

All of the interest that these banks HAD to repay, I wonder who ended up paying for that? I couldn't have been the end consumer now could it? (sarcasm)

Here's the best part.

On the % basis, I bet you that even I.M. don't make $4 billion in profits, most of them are wealthier than the gov.

Yet, the entire country relies on what the gov. will do to help the economy. How's the for business?

The interesting thing is... no matter how bad or good the numbers of a company are.. there are always people within the companies who make ++

Even if you separate the national debt and just look at the bailout as an independent transaction, $4 billion profit on $700+ billion investment is not a good ROI.

Good point Lance. However, I don't think they are done collecting the profits yet. We'll see what happens.
