A Natural Gas-Centric Revitalization Program

...........stop making sense....

It is patently absurd OBAMA does nothing. I fear the the science advisor for Obama ( bigtime enviromentalist) whats his name, won the Nobel Prize, believes in a techno-fix. Meanwhile the USA sends 75 cents out of every dollar spent at refueling to our pals in Saudi.Arabia. Ven, Iran, Nigeria.
Obama would have created a big stir in the AMERICAN marketplace by announcing Natural Gas was going to be the fuel that sets USA free. However, obviously this is not going to be the case....we need people that think outside the box, instead we seem to be getting Re-runs in HD.
Energy Dept -- F
SEC -- F
Federal Reserve--F

Credit Card Cancer

There are other countries that own trillions of our debt. This does not paint a pretty picture, should the Chinese do nothing more than spend Treasuries for tangible goods,like, rail lines,roads,hospitals,... development,and buy into large Australian miners OR maybe a Brazil Oil Company(PBR), Siberian Natural Gas, etc etc..
We are in a box without the insight nor will to build a way thru the wall or over the top. So,back to those others that also own Trillions,they will also have a dis-incentive. Apology for sounding like a commercial,but one of the best insights is from Chuck Butler of Everbank. His 'Daily Phenning' is pretty neat look at currencies.

What Does India's Future Hold for the World Economy?

Mr. Viswanathan, very interesting articule. I very much suspect that the improvements you note in rural India are also going on elsewhere in the world. Your thoughts on increase in commodity pressure also, is spot on.

Looming Currency Devaluations

China,Japan, two large holders of US$, under pressure to support failing export market SELL Dollars in support of thier own economy creates problem for US Treasury.JUST at a time Treasury needs an increase in buyers for massive debt overhang. It is as Faber, Rogers say, Treasury is boxed in. The threat is an auction where the participants do not have the resources nor inclination to buy.
What then? Does the Treasury buy its own debt...?

Is Irag going to help ..
Russia?
Argentina?
Iceland?
India?
The Chinese understand the implication. It is this--will the Chinese help US financial shennanigans to the detriment of its' own populace?

Average American male -is a toy hugger ..and will

nice set of points... I think Canadian Oil companies are in the prime place --strong currency with great potential going forward, and mass fields of oil and nat. gas. Top it off with the prospect of opening above the Artic Circle due to global warming , creates vast new potential areas FOR Canada.

America Frets About the Economy as China Buys 'Stuff'

The USA days of great science and adventure are done...fini. With a budget deficit of five solar masses and imploding ..to become a black hole for the future. An unwillingness to confront our problems with longterm sound policies....yes even now. The Democrats plan will in history compete with the republicans (Bush Jr.Tarp)plan for the most inane, idiotic, assinine misallocation of resources.
The government is coddling the populace and caused this mess by not letting things go down as it would(should have) in 1990 & 2000. No pain, no gain..

Obama really should have announced a wholesale shift in Energy Policy, day one --supported restructure of housing debt at the individual level. Raised taxes on imported oil--an announced that oil tax revenue was to service debt only. And that additional revenue would be serviced thru import oil tax increases until our addiction is nullified..

Most importantly investigations into who,what and why we are at this point should be paramount. Heads should roll..start with Greenspan and his micro management of the economy... !!!! There were a ton of red flags being waved about derivatives since 2001- before it became the monster it is.

What's Going On with Oil? Answer Hidden in the Global Monetary Crisis
