"I think Europe is over priced: "government introduced a watered-down measure Tuesday in Parliament that would expand training and incentive programs for unemployed young people. Many such programs already exist. French Protests Dwindle After Retreat on Jobs" Europeans pretty soon they will be the nouveau pauvre!! They have maximum Five to ten years of wealthy life, then, from there on is down hill all the way. We (China, Russia, India, Brazil) will take their money. But we will trewat them nicely. Don't worry. French Protests Dwindle After Retreat on Jobs By Molly Moore Washington Post Foreign Service Wednesday, April 12, 2006; Page A14 PARIS, April 11 -- Several thousand demonstrators turned out on the streets of Paris and other French cities Tuesday to keep pressure on the government as it considers new labor measures. The turnout was a fraction of the millions of students and workers at rallies in recent weeks. "The movement is fading -- it's a shame," said Samy Hadjari, a 22-year-old law student who joined about 1,000 protesters in central Paris Tuesday. More than a month of street protests and accompanying violence forced Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and his government Monday to back down from a controversial labor law designed to make it easier for companies to hire and fire young people. The government introduced a watered-down measure Tuesday in Parliament that would expand training and incentive programs for unemployed young people. Many such programs already exist. French politicians and newspapers said Tuesday that the government's capitulation in the face of street demonstrations has killed any chance of major policy changes for now. "No important reform can be undertaken in the 12 months ahead of us until the 2007 presidential election," said the daily newspaper La Tribune. "And nothing says it will be easier after that." "You don't reform the same way at the end of an administration as you do at the beginning," Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy told Europe 1 radio. "I don't think the French refuse reforms," said Sarkozy, who along with Villepin aspires to run for president next year. "The French accept change but always want to be assured that it is fair. They found these proposals unfair." Students at the small Paris demonstration Tuesday said the protests represented more than opposition to a law that would have allowed employers to fire workers under age 26 anytime during their first year on the job. "Everybody is fed up with power in general," said Benoit Tailhades, 22, a wine steward from the southern city of Lyon who marched in Tuesday's demonstration while in Paris on a job hunt. Pauline Marly, 20, a sociology student at a suburban Paris university who joined Tuesday's march, said the government's retreat Monday on the law "was a mixed victory for us" because "we don't know what will replace it -- it may be worse."

I noticed that: "But this unusual abundance of liquidity has one main reason in the protracted weakness of investment, and another in the temporary tax-induced gusher of repatriated earnings coming from overseas operations. Like I told before, during the Bretton Woods gentlemen agreement: developign countries were the geese fleeced anytime the OECD countries were felt cold. Remember your once decade economic crisis theory? That was it. Now there's no way the goose will be fleeced. Notice the another in the temporary tax-induced gusher of repatriated earnings coming from overseas operations.? This is trying to fleece the goose. But the feather comes back right to goose once again. That because multinational corporations providing the profits, take money back to invest, investors puts capital into the developing countries, which is where the economic activity is... Don;t worry about the oil money flow. It will only stop coming to Dubai and start going to Curitiba. It will be an amazing couple of decades those ones in front of us.
