Pinning the Blame on the House Republicans

Mr. Salmon -- Do you understand what having a Democrat Majority in the House and the Senate means? It means they could have passed the bill without one Republican Vote! Now that I have informed you of vital information you have conveniently ignored, who would you like to blame?? Bush supported it so you can't blame him!! If you work hard enough you just might be able to hang it on the Supreme Court.

The Middle Ground with Global Warming

If the world has been around thousands of years. And parts of Greenland used to be farmed(see Gården under Sandet) before evil capitalists started polluting the atmosphere with CO2.(Which is a natural compound used by plants) Then Obviously climate change is a natural occurance that happens through out history. That being said, I still feel it is important for man to conserve our natural resoures and be good stewards of the planet we inhabit.

Japanese Lesson for U.S.: Demographics Matter a Lot

Very good point concerning the human resourses. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. People can only do so much, they have to have something to start with which would in include natural resoures(land, oil, raw materials). The Nikkei was grossly over valued to a point of almost equaling the value of the US markets. How can a country not even the size of Texas be worth our entire economy??? The main point to learn is the importance of managing your resourses wisely and making use of your relationships. The Japaneese took advantage of China and the rest of Asia until they learned to become capitalist and cut Japan out of the value chain.

Japan is now in danger of suffering not one but two lost decades. Its failure to spur a strong domestic recovery a decade later "suggests that America and Europe may also have a long, hard journey ahead."

Anybody suprised about this failed to compare the value of a small island country's(Japan) stock market to that of the one of the largest, most technologically advanced nation's(USA) back in 1990. They were roughtly valued equally. How could they sustain such over valuation with such little natual or human resourses??? The question is when will the market be valued correctly.....who's stock market would be a appropriate to compare it to?

Considering a Dollar Decline

A dollar decline along with the yen is inevitable as India, China et al grow to make up a larger part of the global economy and deminish the % of the total world market we make up as consumers and producers. The decline would have already started if the Chinese would not be pegging their currency to ours.

Once they remove the peg, their goods will become more expensive and help shrink our defecit which will strengthen the dollar. But in the long haul our influence on the world economy should slowly decline. However, if our politicians and economists play the cards in a fiscally conservative manner, our role as safe haven & innovators in the world economy

When Stabilization Isn't Stimulus

If Pelosi and the rest of the Dems were not in such a hurry to try to push through any BS at any price it would have been determined back then. Just more of the same blame game.
