Oh, What A Feeling -- Of Toyota Making Almost $14 Billion In 2006!
Just to give you an idea of how much money we're talking about here (in case you can't wrap your mind around ¥1.64 trillion — $13.7 billion — in profits off of ¥23.94 trillion — $199.5 billion — in net revenues ) when I used to work for the State of Michigan, I remember the state's general fund operating budget was like around $8 billion. That means Toyota made almost twice as much money this past year as the State of Michigan spent on the courts, the legislature, all of the offices of the statewide elected officials, the prisons — plus overages in programs like schools and health care coverage. Oh yes, plus all the money spent on public universities by the State, the department of human services...I think you get my drift here. Full press release from ToMoCo after the jump.More »
