Take this true instance as an example of what I mean. This American film maker came over to Nigeria recently and over dinner used the term "people of color" in speaking of Nigerians (can you beat that - in Nigeria). Did he get an earful or did he? What Americans need to know is that the racial distinctions they make within the USA are not universal. In Nigeria, a "person of color" would be a white American, a European or an Asian, etc. Americans must know (and understand at the same time) that the principle implied by their usage of this term clearly means that you are only a "person of color" outside your "racial base." So a white American, a black american as well as a native American are each and together "persons of color" if they lived in china for instance. It is RACIST to use that term otherwise - GET IT? Please pass the word. PS: He (the film maker) did not get our business!!! + by the way you do not need any economist to tell you what is going on. Just pick up any intermediate economic text (i.e. MBA level) and you will find that what Obama proposes is valid capitalist economics same as McCain's ideas. The issue just now is judgment - which idea is most valid for this time? That depends on the way you see the polity and the sort of person you are. If you care about people and want to return to equilibrium quickly and with the least pain for unwitting individuals caught up in all of this for no fault of their own - you go with Obama. if you are rich, arrogant and operate on the basis that the end justifies the means then you would probably go with McCain. Its not my politics though so good luck.

How can money disappear? It is somewhere... how about the secret Swiss accounts? The top 1%, bankers and politicians would know. Did some hacker group make away with the US trillions... or convert it to zero.zero (0.00)? Why do the financial TV reporters still have a smile and look like it is not their problem ..yet? Instead of interviewing the "Haves" and Trumps.. TV shows could focus on the real man in main street USA... it would bring things into right perspective ...to the viewers including policy makers and to the ones who are fine for now. It is a tsunami coming from the size of it. So many questions:

Why is Greenspan silent... where is he?

How can money disappear? It is somewhere... how about the secret Swiss accounts? The top 1%, bankers and politicians would know.

Did some hacker group make away with the US trillions... or convert it to zero.zero (0.00)?

Why do the financial TV reporters still have a smile and look like it is not their problem ..yet?

It is a tsunami coming from the size of it.

I've been watching CNN each day for 5-6 year and never is gold mentioned. Not a peep. Gold is a safe place in times of trouble, NOT Treasuries. The yield on short term treasuries is next to nothing, yet inflation is the highest in decades, gold is a good place to invest. Someone out to explain that to Gerri Willis....and Hello, when the DOW drops 600 yesterday and today it opens up 60 that is NOT considered a rally. GoldMoney.com allows allocated gold bullion to be held in IRA, 401k & SIPP accounts. Have you ever thought of mentioning that? Gold is an alternative in long term pension or retirement funds. Please mention gold more and you will have happier and wealthier viewers.

Because everybody else pays for the printing. A guy from Shanghai commented: "It costed me one thousand dollars for the ticket to see the Olympic Game opening this summer. I will lose $500 (as every chinese) when the US theasury bonds reduce to zero (when Washington files bankruptcy - theoratically it has). But both shows are historically spetacular." He is ignorant of caues. Other than simply refusing to pay back, US can speed up selling off gold, which it has a lot in reserves. When the gold is all gone, then sell off the weapons, then sell off the lands, etc. When all is gone the green paper will reduce to nothing and the people can go back to their home continents and return the lands to Indians or half Indians (the Mexicans who are coming anyway), who are apparently the real Americans. The buffalo will roam the land again! For Europeans, who believe that Tibet should become independent after 800 some years as part of China, this all makes sense! See the Europeans are intelligent. Even demented Thacher knew that China produces TV's and we produce cultures. Yes, Big, the Government can! Because everybody else pays for the printing.
