摩根大通90億美元法律開支足夠干好6件事
2013-10-14
有人說華爾街是經濟浪費的源頭，這話一點都沒說錯。據摩根大通披露，它在第三季度一個季度的法律費用就高達92億美元。其實，這筆錢完全可以發揮更重要的作用，比如可以將美國債務上限推遲3天半，再比如讓汽車城避免破產。

????4) 可以將負債上限推遲3.5天。 ????美國政府每天的運營成本約為100億美元，政府每天的稅收約為74億美元。這意味著，從理論上，摩根大通的92億美元可以將債務上限推遲3.5天。而在現實中，美國政府負債數額要龐大得多。例如，僅10月24日，美國政府拖欠的債務利息便達到120億美元，摩根大通的法律費用顯然不足以支付這筆費用。 |
????4) Delay the debt ceiling by 3.5 days. ????It costs roughly $10 billion a day to run the government, and we bring in about $7.4 billion in tax revenue a day. That means in theory JPMorgan's $9.2 billion could delay the debt ceiling for three and a half days. In reality, the payments we owe are lumpy. For example the government owes $12 billion in interest payments on its debt on October 24 alone, which JPMorgan's legal fees alone wouldn't be able to cover. |
