Take it all LLoyd; take the whole hundred million and screw those A-holes in DC. In fact, if you can get the board to give you a 500 million bonus you should take that too. For what it's worth I not only think you should take the whole thing in cash, but you should spend it all on building a private lake on your estate, then fill the lake with champagne, launch your yacht into it, and have a non stop roman orgy that makes Mardi Gras look like high tea at the Vatican... if that's what you want to do.
I'm so sick of Washington trying to pick all the winners and losers, that for any guy who actually delivered the goods, I'd cheer him for taking the cash and spending it on whatever...no matter how profane. It's none of their business what someone gets paid even though they desperately want to make it so. And I greatly resent all the sanctimony that's flowing north from that cesspool.
It's like that old Russian joke about Ivan and Sergey. They had lives that were the same in every way except that Ivan had a goat and Sergey didn't. One day Sergey finds a magic lamp and a genie appears to grant him one wish...anything he likes. Naturally he says ... "I want Ivan's goat to die". That's DC under Obama... they all want all our goats to die.
Naturally Blankfein doesn't want to spend the money the way I suggested... the truth is... even I don't really want to spend any money that way. But I'd cheer him if he did. And I do think he should get paid every penny he can manage. And if the sanctimonious third parties in Washington don't like it, they can all take a long walk off a short pier, into a private man made lake, filled with champagne.
But in the meantime I wanted Lloyd to know that not everyone in this country is consumed with envy. Not everyone thinks that the government should decide what people get paid. So I say... get it in Cash Lloyd and spend it all... absolutely any way you damned well please.
Goldman has denied they're going to give it to him... and to that I say ... too bad.
