His most compact formulation of it was: <i>Communication is only possible between equals.</i> His demonstration: "A man with a loaded gun will not be told anything that might make him pull the trigger." This applies with special force to the behavior of bureaucrats and bureacracies.Francis W.

I haven't seen the figures for a while, but huge amounts are owned by China and others, maybe half.<br /><br />We could default. Would that mean war?<br /><br />What about WWII debt. We never made collection efforts on what other countries "borrowed" from us so they could help us win WWII.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-87701156745559686022011-11-22T07:51:52.788-05:002011-11-22T07:51:52.788-05:00The economy can be fixed if all debt is forgiven a...The economy can be fixed if all debt is forgiven and we go back to square one. <br />It is that simpleChana @ Lemon Lime Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-68648678577126579792011-11-22T03:12:37.055-05:002011-11-22T03:12:37.055-05:00"The more outrageous the markup, the more the..."The more outrageous the markup, the more the merchant works to create an atmosphere where money does not seem to exist and reality bends at the seams."<br /><br />That's the Amway success formula. Unfortunately as Americans have rejected it, they have found an overseas demand where people are just glad to have a source of American products and there is kind of an elite chic to having expensive things.<br /><br />"Bureaucracies don’t correct failure, they falsely report success up the line."<br /><br />I once had a friend who was a Staff Services Analyst whose job was to analyze the unit and report his recommendations for how to reduce the size and expenses of the unit. Unfortunately the head of the unit was also his immediate supervisor, so instead he had to write all his reports to justify the size and budget of the unit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-71768195180923696942011-11-22T00:27:39.099-05:002011-11-22T00:27:39.099-05:00True.

I would like to challenge the Sultan to tell those of us who are in violent agreement with respect to the current situation what we should be doing. What to do?

Once that happens the dollar will plunge precipitously and the dollar bubble will have bust, with all its trillions in circulation temporarily backed by nothing but false statistics and co-conspiring media lies. Once the mannequin now in power wins again, the dollar will die a quick, ugly death."in the vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796434751654291581noreply@blogger.com
