Now that Obama is actually starting to share the details of the solutions he is pushing for, it's causing wide spread concern. People are questioning whether they will fix anything. Lots of doubt right now. Don't forget that when Obama was running, he did NOT detail how he was going to produce the change everyone "wanted". We are all engines of karma

The cost of doing business in Russia...
StreetScooby replied to StreetScooby's topic in Speakers Corner
As Medvedev(sp?) pointed out to Obama, Russians don't haggle much... From strategypage.com, Russian Warship Sinks Chinese Freighter http://www.strategypage.com/dls/articles/Russian-Warship-Sinks-Chinese-Freighter-3-3-2009.asp A Chinese rice freighter brought in a load of what was deemed as "low quality" rice by a Russian buyer. The Russian buyer said lower the price, which the Chinese seller refused to do. The owner of the tanker, a Hong Kong shipper, told the freighter to leave. The Russian coast guard sank it!

Why not let them move to London. I'm sure they're lots of people there who would welcome them with open arms. We are all engines of karma -
AIGFP was fully engaged in what was referred to within the company as "regulatory arbitrage". The knowingly exploited some weakness in the regulatory system somewhere. Which one I'm not sure of. From an article in the NYTimes today: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/04/business/economy/04webecon.html?hp Make no mistake about it. AIG was a counterparty to EVERYONE, and their collapse would be felt severely around the world. Since what their management did was not deemed illegal, they can't be prosecuted for the enormous and reckless risks they took. This one is a doozy. We are all engines of karma

From today's NYTimes: The Case for Saving A.I.G., by A.I.G. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/03/business/economy/03sorkin.html?hp AIGFP (financial products) caused this mess. Unbridled, irresponsible greed. Pure and simple. We are all engines of karma

Just in the interest of full disclosure, I'm a moderate conservative who is registered as an independent. I changed from being a registered Republican when they decided to become the religious right. I was raised in a very fundamentalist family in the deep south, and I think that whole life style is a crock of shit. We are all engines of karma

While I don't applaud his methods, he says some pretty powerful things. From the speech everyone is quoting where he says he wants Obama to fail: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_030209/content/01125106.guest.html I agree with what Limbaugh is saying here. I'm competitive, my wife is, and so are my kids. We strive for excellence in those things we pursue. I think that's a very important part of being American. We are all engines of karma

So, liberal economists say the New Deal saved us, while conservative economists say it didn't (...it was really WWII). Is there any way to gain insight into this without doing a doctoral thesis in economics? We are all engines of karma

One of the things that concerns me alot these days is the lack of agreement on whether the New Deal eliminated the Great Depression or not. By now, there should be plenty of data, and and what that data meant. From this article by Gordon Brown: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article5821821.ece This is serious. If these guys can't define the problem properly, there solutions are not going to work. Comments? We are all engines of karma
