Phil, I'm not Gus, and I wonder how young you imagined I was? 35, 40?
It was one of those funny pictures you posted, but I know you are still young at heart Searle, although I understand you didn't just get out of Med School yesterday.
Just to balance that scary Aussie scenario, and back to the more familiar old story, "The European Central Bank's chief economist Otmar Issing said in an interview with Germany's Hessischer Rundfunk Radio on Feb. 11 that ``there is no doubt that with the rapid appreciation of the euro the pain threshold was reached and breached.'
``It's in nobody's interest for the dollar to fall,' said Jen. ``The Europeans are clear they don't want to see the dollar fall further, so are the Japanese, and now the other Asian countries are saying it.'
Lucky, lucky Americans, who can borrow and print money without end, supported by the labour of the rest of the world (albeit sometimes grudgingly) so that they can party on, and their government can finance their favorite endeavors and campaigns.
So, its more of the same b.s., forward ..... march!!
Oh, just to cause a bit more confusion, here is this:
"U.S. Data Shows Economy on Solid Ground"

So, there you have it. We are either going to hell in a hand basket, or things couldn't be rosier. All expert opinion and fact. You can take it to the bank.
A person must have more than a little masochism in him to constantly subject himself to reading these "facts". And I include myself. But I am trying to quit! <g> |
