The New York Times in a hard-hitting weekend article lashed out at Goldman Sachs and suggested that the bank should forget about employee bonuses and make a major donation to the US government. It points out that while the bank has repaid $10 billion, it owes taxpayers far more than that, and it calls the $16 billion the bank is planning to pay its workers to be rejigged: “A multibillion-dollar gift to the federal Bureau of the Public Debt, which accepts tax-deductible donations to reduce the national debt. The donation can come from the bonuses; that way, it would not harm shareholders, because they only get their cut after the bonuses are paid.”
