The pain I feel is not from the markets.
I really am fed up with one simple fact:
Our(so called)Leaders
Republicans and Democrats alike have skeletons in their closets and will not stand up and turn this country around.
Not one politician out there has the cahones to take a stand
and do what it takes to clean up this mess.
But we can spend our way into bankruptcy.
.........
and we can watch George get on the NEPAD and help Africa get on their feet with a mere 64 billion a year.
He walked away from G8 last year and I was proud..But I'm
guessing this year will be different..
G8 leaders gather in Kananaskis
By SANDRA DIMITRAKOPOULOS, CTV News Staff
Leaders of the world's richest nations will focus on an African action plan, terrorism and global economic growth when they gather for the G8 summit in Kananaskis, Alta.
The two-day meeting begins on June 26. It will bring together leaders from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Russia.
At the top of the agenda for the world leaders will be an Africa initiative, called the New Partnership for the Africa's Development (NEPAD). The leaders plan to approve an Africa Action Plan based on NEPAD at the end of the summit.
The initiative by African leaders proposes to raise $64-billion in investments annually for Africa and sustain annual economic growth of over seven per cent for the next 15 years. In exchange, African countries must commit to democracy, good governance and human rights.
"We want these African people to prosper," Prime Minister Jean Chretien told a Liberal fundraising dinner last month. "It is not charity. It is an investment. But we have to give them a chance to compete."
