An International Perspective - One More Time, Please
I live in the US now, although I was born in another country, which also causes me to appreciate that because of his "foreign" upbringing, President Obama is also tempering his view of the world with a more global perspective.

G-20 Needs Broader View to Solve Euro Crisis, Jim Lane of Biodigest Makes Similar Suggestions
I made a COMMENT on BUSINESSWEEK.COM
The article in question was related to speculation about actions that might be taken by the upcoming (next week) G-20 conference, with respect to the Euro, and the financial crises engulfing (at minimum) Greece and Spain. Being that it was to be the G-20, and not just some "Euro-centric" body, I attempted to broaden the horizons of their perspective a little.

The Government and "The One Percent"
Jeffrey Sachs doesn't lie, does he?
Jeff Sachs, the famous economist and university professor (Columbia U.) appeared recently (Oct. 2011) on a Charlie Rose on PBS program discussing, what else, the economy. Specifically, the depression or at least recession (at this point the "recession" has been the longest and slowest recovery in the history of the USA, which pretty much makes it discretionary as to whether it is called one term or the other, IMNSHO.) and how to climb out of it. He was a

"Build Domestic Industry", "New Jobs", "Increased Income", Ag. Sec. Vilsack Predicts
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said:
In Washington, Vilsack told the press, it is "an opportunity for the country to wean itself off of foreign oil and to build a domestic industry with new job opportunities in rural America as well as increasing income levels for farmers and producers," which is good as far as it goes.
