The basic problem with the "Occupy" movement is that they represent a wide variety of "complaints" but not a common goal. This is much like the "anti-Obama" sentiments that drove the election of the current Republican dominated House of Representatives. Lots of people had reasons to be "against" the current government, so they elected a bunch of yahoos whose idea of "governing" was to block everything rather than to effect positive change. "Occupy" needs positive goals that all (most

International Development Banks: $8.3 BILLION did what?
On a website devoted to the “news” in International “Development” (mainly “Aid” and economic development) an article appeared recently at:

LinkedIn.com Sparing
My sometimes sparing partner in discussion groups on the business networking website, LinkedIn.com, the very capable and intelligent Mr. Alan Falk, pointed readers of the Economy discussion group (sponsored and monitored by the White House, by the way) to an article on the Fisher Investments "Marketminder" website written by Amanda Williams. His quote consists of the final two paragraphs of her article which say this:

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. It cannot be ignored, however that the influence of the "military industrial complex" (as former President Eisenhower identified it) and now the "money is speech" decision of the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) means that the US political direction has been fairly closely bound

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
