... publicly listed companies held an estimated $4.75 trillion in cash in 2012, up from just $1.2 trillion in 1995.

There's some serious spin and omitted data there.

GDP has also doubled during that period. The NYT also didn't bother to talk about the increase in corporate debt, which has way more than doubled.

Then we have serious uncertainty about the longer term issues with GDP, etc. Corporations shouldn't have more cash to help with that? Huh?
