Well, we have nor NG on the north slope than that-lol. I don't think anyone has it figured out. I look. I'll give you an interesting story I think I heard it from dismal scientist. John Maynerd Keynes was really really smart--like Einstien smart. A lot of people in the early 1900's were working on theories regarding how to use government's potential economic influencd, or even if it shol dbe used at all. Sort of a new idea. Heretofore they were sort of using a raw form of Adma smith. So in essensethe neo cons have been using thee fist draft of economic theory Adam smith, with aout the refinements-lol. so now we know a 1776 economic theory does not woprk well in 2008. Well, Keynes a memeber of the British Intelligensia, bertrand Russle, alfred North whitehead, and Max Weber, etc and so they actually asked him to think on what to do about the great the great depresioon. And everything I know about Keynes economic philosophy makes perfect sense to me. He was very lazzie faire, but he also knew government had a role and conrols were also necessary. 1/2 quarillion. see, two times we have used that word in one evening-lol.

Well, Iceland, I think, has an 18 billion yearly budget and owes 85 bullion in CDS's I htink. I hear Hungray and the Urkraine are on the ropes. Seems like maybe the super computers and their super algotriums based on the normal curve, rather that the power curve, did not predict a move (200 standards deviations from the mean, 10 to the 50th power-lol!?), was a big mistkake. Like Russia using Lamarkian evoution (theory i snot correct)for many years which put them way behind us in agriculure. Alagorithiums got beyond our ability to comprehend the abstract reality. We can't even seem to get close to the reality-lol Look what Paulsons first 700 billion draft metmorphased into! From a tadpol to a frog and it will probably change again, like maybe into a black hole.
