economy larger than Canada's or Brazil's too big to fail, California officials urge.

"I can't speak for the president, but when you've got the 8th biggest economy in the world sitting as one of your 50 states, it's hard to see how the country recovers if that state does not."

Perhaps CA has to return to ita natural size too...

Calif. Aid Request Spurned By U.S.

From The Washington Post

Germans taste machines with Midas touch

The venture by the TG-Gold-Super-Markt company, based near Stuttgart, aims to build on soaring retail interest in gold purchases after a loss in confidence in a range of other investments as a result of the financial crisis.
