It hasn't translated to the average citizen. But that's o.k. the massive corporations to whom many politicians report to have "recovered" their looses.<br /><br />I always wonder what would have happened in the U.S.A. had the government let the banks fail and gaven the money instead as loans to those who were defaulting on their mortgages, at a 3% interest rate.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-91344987210256051072014-09-15T18:02:46.287-04:002014-09-15T18:02:46.287-04:00I continue to hope, Anon, that we can take our cou...I continue to hope, Anon, that we can take our country back in the next election.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-40842044427609185712014-09-15T16:00:35.964-04:002014-09-15T16:00:35.964-04:00What will happen to Canada when, Steven Treason ha...What will happen to Canada when, Steven Treason hands us over to Communist China Oct 1st? <br /><br />The destruction of BC has been going on for years. Harper and Gordon Campbell began giving BC to China, way back in Campbell's reign of treachery. Harper nearly burst into tears when, the evil Campbell was forced to resign. They weren't quite finished, handing BC to Communist China.<br /><br />Ditzy Christy is no different than Campbell. She too told some really whopper lies as did Harper and Campbell. However, China has spoken up regarding BC's Teachers strike and Christy will have to obey China.<br /><br />Fadden of CSIS warned of Communist China's huge inroads into Canada. BC people warned and warned, Harper and Gordon Campbell are snakes in the grass. However as usual, no-one listened. <br /><br />China is the most hated country on the globe. Harper rips into Putin regarding, the Russia, Crimea and Ukraine issue. However, Harper gave Communist China our country so, Harper is far worse than Putin. Communist China mowed their students down with, machine gun fire. Harper needs to be tried as a traitor, doing acts of treason. Harper and China are totally evil. However, we have lost our country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-5362523770139070602014-09-15T13:17:57.954-04:002014-09-15T13:17:57.954-04:00Thanks for the link, Anon.

As for Krugman, in 2005 he released an anthology of his columns under the title "The Great Unraveling" that I have around here somewhere. You couldn't read "Unraveling" without getting a brutally clear idea of how perilously close to the edge America was perched. <br /><br />Yet our self-styled "economist", old Beelzebub himself, was later to try to excuse his failure to prepare Canada to meet the 2008 meltdown by claiming that "no one saw it coming." <br /><br />Isn't it funny how these neoliberal bastards always fall back on that old saw whether they're overtaken by a global recession, massive flooding (Calgary), listeria deaths, mass slaughter in Lac Megantic and on and on and on - "no one saw it coming" or "no one could have known". Who is this "no one" and where did they find him? The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.com
