The primary thing that it will buy is time. I wonder how much attention and effort is going to go into modifying the system that brought us to this point? I would actually be more interested in hearing what 'ACCOUNTABILITY REGULATIONS' were in that package. :rolleyes:

"What it will buy" is the right expression – and quite amusing!

Truth.

I personally find the global resession nothing more than a fast, and those stimulating this idea, should be held responsible for the mayhem produced from it.
Those responsible being the Media, yes the Media.

Truthfully?, has anything really changed with your lifestyle, apart for taking a second to think more clearly on where and when you spend your hard earned money?
Maybe eating at home rather than Mc Chukkers, Kentucky Fried Rabbit ect!

The global ecconemy is!, has been!, and always will be as fragile as our environment, but as we intelligent(?????) beings have come to find and accept, Mother nature will always find ways to restimulate, rejuvenate and move forward and create another natural masterpiece for us all to enjoy.
Only to destroy it 80 - 100 years later in the next cycle of growth and rejunvenation!

The ecconomy will rejuvenate as well, hopefully more aware of it's own venerabillty, and be wiser for the next global mentdown, that I am 100% sure will be infront of us, our children or grandchildren.

The one thing that is absolutly certain at this particular period in time, is that the opportunity is there for every single person on the face of this earth, to rise up and make the most of a bad situation, after all is this not how most of the wealthy made themselves weathy? by being watchfull and attentative with the great depression of 29'. Just remenber the inovative minds, inventions and progress that had stemed from the great need to restimulate the global village last time.

We DO have trying and sceptical times ahead of us, but those whom will take the opportuntity by the hand and nourish it will be all the better for it.

Something to think about------ DO NOT be the one who said NO to Yahoo, because it sounded silly. Be the one that said YES WE CAN!

Accountability? Yeah! Right! :mad:

One day, one of the thieves pocketing the money will be sacrificed for the good of the rest. :rolleyes2

Sometimes called "Tuckey Duck" also.

IN 1929 Willis Hawley and Reed Smoot, two protectionist Republicans in Congress, sponsored a bill to raise tariffs. During that economic turmoil, the protectionists won, and the bill was passed. Not surprisingly, there was a round of reciprocal tariff hikes in other countries, and a disastrous collapse in international trade.

Most of the “Buy American” nonsense was removed from the U.S. economic stimulus bill, but only after it had been put in in the first place. Now President Sarkozy has promised to bail out France's car industry if it pledges to keep jobs in France. One must hope that the EU’s Commission for Competition can prevent the EU from falling into that trap.

Economic nationalism seems to rear its ugly head whenever the good times stop rolling.
