Default has already happened and is hidden behind monetary discussion.
Now one phenomenum to follow: injection of USD by the US. China and India could inject trillions of USD in the system but they wont because it will crash it. Yet the US is doing the same and it has not crashed and probably wont crash. Same behaviour, different outcomes. It is going to be interesting.
February 9, 2010 at 8:52 pm“LOL good job , remember, it’s only money ”
Actually, it is much more than money. A monetarist approach, the one that most people prefer at least in the first world, has one big advantage: hiding the issue of the debt repayment terms.
Most people are expecting a default in the monetary system. It wont happen. This ado has one merit: hiding the default that has already occured: in productions. Countries with mass monetary savings are blocked with them in fear of crashing the system because
About the girl.. hmmmm, she looks like a complete smart-arse being precocious for the sake of being precocious, but not actually having any ideas to back it up with. I mean, when asked why, she said it was because she doesn’t agree with anyone telling her what to do… thats kinda pointless. Maybe it was the chewing gum throughout but I just didn’t warm to her point of view!
I like the starting off with something humorous by the way!
I watched the pledge refuser video. I side with the girl. Watch this watch?v=lA-zdh_bQBo TEDtalks Barry Schwartz, We stopped being wise.
February 9, 2010 at 10:36 pmCricket actually looks like it might be kind of fun. I must still have some of that old British hemogloben coursing around in these red-blooded american veins.

a very interesting read.
Oooh look – you got a thumbs down on that one LOL. Mind diss’ing Cricket in an international forum…

February 10, 2010 at 2:47 amThe Dollar is backed by Oil? So the U.S. can’t print more money unless it’s backed by more oil? That’s cool.
February 10, 2010 at 3:26 amRight now it’s looking like a big “No”. Swedish Krona seems to be in trouble I notice. Germany’s exports tanking – and as for the British, they’re too busy printing money to comment.
“The UK, Germany and Sweden have reacted coolly to calls for $6bn (£4.2bn) of aid from US car giant General Motors.”
