It is the cost of the state machine TJ! CA shows the effect of economies are returning to natural sizes but the state is not.

They have too short time to adapt having lost many opportunities to cut the costs of the state to its citizens.

Politicos in the OECD countries loved the vote buying schemes whereby they were doling out the cash they've got as taxes to their electoral korrals.

This time is over now.

I want to see the subsidies drying up so that the market forces enters the picture. This is going to be very good for producers and consumers worldwide.

So far the cash is missing only to pay the end of the month expenses....

Interesting comment on Bloomberg regarding high yielding currencies - seems CB's are selling their own currencies to restrain their rise - buying US and EU debt

Contrary to common wisdom the developing markets stabilized much faster than the OECD economies due to their internal growth and lack of penetration of consumer goods

Must US families have 2 cars (more than needed)- in developing countries - NO cars etc. - same to other consumer goods and housing / shelters
