The Economy...

Do you think that we need to be placing this first internationally?

  1. Definitely--- because in that process most of the other ills (War, Global Warming, Poverty, Hunger) will have to be considered as well. It's a like a row of dominoes---one thing falls into another and another...

  2. Feel the same here. One thing leads into another.

  3. Always, but we must remember too--as evident in the photo illustrating the question: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

  4. The economy is the most pressing issue.

  5. I just worry that there is too much media scare-mongering going on. That does not bolster confidence or help us heal and go forward.

  6. The banks do tend to fall like stacked dominoes, but we'll get through it. Hopefully we'll find a better way of re-starting than going to war.

  7. According to Peter Kropotkin's theory of spontaneous organisation a total collapse is impossible....we shall see whether he was right quite soon I think? :-)

  9. If terrorism is considered to be global why not the Monetary System?
    Has done, will do, more damage by far.

  10. Starvation is definitely a hitch in people being interested in global warming -- and so is illness, from lack of health care and adequate medications. A country, any country, is as weak as its weakest member. If we would be part of a strong world, we must build from a strong foundation. Therefore, the weakest members must see beyond poverty and endless sicknesses. If we are ill, so is our world. The domino effect works best when triggered from the correct starting point.

    Hmm?

  11. I think the economy should take a front seat, though there are other pressing issues.
    Seems to me it'll be hard to work on anything else, to any successful purpose until the economy is back on strong footing.

  12. And more good, too. Money is very handy sometimes.

  13. I think that it's a blunder and disaster with the banking system right now. I will say that in my own opinion as once again we have seen bonuses spent on the money placed into them.
    It all comes down to what GA said as well as I do care about it but we may very well see a shift in where the economic centralized area moves towards....

  14. Bill so true! I was watching the news and man, here we go again with money being placed into AIG and then bonuses paid out.
    I vouch right now for regulation of the system in the United States.

  15. Foundation yes...solid foundation with solid planning.

  16. Norma look again at what is happening and I will say again in no way - as you know me, but what is happening down there with the administration?
    It starts there but there does not seem to be any hold on what the government can do with the banks when the give them money.
    I really amazes me with what is taking place right now.

  17. I wonder where we take it from here as with the economy.

  18. I am assuming you are refering to the bailout funds, Jack. I can see why they felt the bailout was necessary (though many thought and still think it was a bad idea) but I cannot understand why they didn't set it up so they could control how that money was spent.
    Every PENNY of those funds needed to be well spent and accounted for.
    As is, it's starting to look as if much of those funds have been washed down the drain and to no good purpose.

  19. Norma, yes I really do believe so. This is where I was posting in the next blog on if regulation is a good thing or not?

  20. And most definately there is a dominoe effect that does take place within macro economics...

  21. In time. Perhaps not in time for some, however.
