Argentina collapsed because they didn't have the money to keep the government machine running. Murphy wanted to abandon universities on their own and sack redundant civil servants. He lost. Protesters filled the streets. Got Domingo Cavallo and defaulted.

The US is in the same situation and want to find someone to tax to avoid doing an Argentina. Corporate taxes. Fuel taxes.

Reading book at airport. Finding I know more than the book. It used to happen I read The Economist to learn somehting. Now I read just to benchmark what I already know.

It is good to know more than the combined power of others. Poeple hate that, you know.

Haliburton already chnage domicile. But note that sweet deals disappear if you change domicelie. Who know's how many sweet deals to sell fuel for government, air force army are involved that forces the oil men to tow the line and stay at home...

All that must be considered. It comes at a time they balance those sweet deals interest and the savings and vote with their wallet.
