I think approximately $250,000 should go to the "Ash don't wanna work no mo" fund. It's a pittance, comparatively.

Saint Bob Geldof is currently pontificating - pessimistic about how the proposal might benefit high and mid-level market economies: sub-saharan Africa is lightly to miss out again.
Not sure about that one.

I quite like the French/German position on this issue. Can't see how they'll implement it in practice, but theoretically I'm all in favour of it.
As for sub-saharan Africa... It was hard enough getting G8 leaders to care about it when everything was going swimmingly. Now that it's all crumbles down, I can't see them giving much of a ****.

Interesting.

- $250Bn in Trade Finance
- End of Banking Secrecy - Better regulation of Hedge Funds and Credit Rating agencies
- Hard line on Tax Havens
- Naming & Shaming of countries operating protectionist policies
Promising.

BUY AMERICAN!!!!
pinkos

I'll buy American when they stop making the clothes I want in Bangledesh.
For a while I tried sewing my own, then I gave up in disgust when I found out that most of the fabric for sale in the US is also made overseas.
Lose, lose, lose, unless I have $1000 to spend on a tailored shirt from Italy or if I want to look like a bag lady in home spun.

People who try to "sew their own" kill capitalism and are responsible for the downfall of all of the great civilizations.
