Not so secretive.

You're not a terrorist then. They tend to be open about their desires for destruction.

More like general annoyment at western society. Maybe it means I'm a hippie

[Kghyutgykim]

A moron, a jerk, or both.

[Dapnoinaacale]

As long as property prices slide but I still get pay rises, I'll be happy

[vosteglog]

As long as it is to the left and right and none drop around here. And the wind is favourable

[Vomazoono]

Yes daddy.

Well I suppose a few nukes would warm up a cold January morning

[Theariwinna]

It makes you an Alan Greenspan.

Now I want him to apologize to all peace-loving people on this planet. Everything is not OK even if his socio-economic welfare is. Kissez mon derriere, garcon!

Is Alan Greenspan dead?

My mother was killed at the hands of a cynical German.

That's funny - my German was killed at the hands of a cynical mother.

[Rithlilky]

I'm an educated Englishman, there's no limit to my pomposity and verbosity. So I certainly couldn't be less

[PilotVertolet]

Yeah, but they're stupid like that

[Hitfaromarf]

I openly want the economy to crash.

Business as usual is not a healthy state of affairs for the human civilization.

I'm perfectly happy to earn and spend as little as I darn well please in order to live a satisfying and enjoyable life. I care not if such "consumption" habits cause economic "harm".

[Kneedycrype]

I just want a damn rebate check.

Well, and world revolution.

.... Ok, I want it all.

The approach of Bush for avoiding a recession is absolutely Keynesian, he will spit 145 thousand million dollars so that yankee carpenters and plumbers can keep spending above their means.

I actually agree with Bush and I would do the same.

What bothers me is that first world countries do that and no one minds, but when third world countries face an economic crisis and the state tries to give the economy a stimulus, they get called populists (to say the least offensive thing) by the economic magazines, the imf etc etc


I think third world countries should stop following the advices given by the first world, and should start following the examples given by the first world.
No rich country tries to get out from a recession by increasing taxes, firing state employees, less spending and all the things required in structural adjustments.


Thanks God daddy state is always there to save capitalism from its periodical crises You've got your Keynesian economics a bit mixed up. First, Bush is a supply-sider mostly. Second, Keynes never made any proposals for third world economies. His theories are economic recovery theories, not development theories.

Those Third-World countries who have ignored the advice of the World Bank and the IMF (namely China, India and Argentina) have done very well. It's the countries that follow the advice that remain mired in poverty.
