I think that's the problem is that the IMF and capitalism says that growth below 3% is a recession.

When in fact we need no growth and even negative growth just so we can save the planet and the human species.

But instead these idiots keep handing over billions to the developers and that means more homes that use energy that fuels global warming.

every additional human added to the total population is a step closer to annihilation for all of us

there should be 1 billion people not 7 billion

but instead we have a situation where we can see the quality of life and of everything for that matter deteriorate every day

it is just insane

Did the IMF actually state that? If so, I just have GOT to see this with my own eyes!

There is a lot of insanity in the US. It starts with the Republicans and spreads to the general populace. It is an incurable disease, unless you amputate the source.

US NATIONAL DEBT CLOCKOct 10th, 2008 - 08:45:13

The ballooning US national debt has now broken through the $10 trillion mark to reach $10,249.934,738,875.80 the time of typing. President Bush must be very proud.Perhaps understandably, Durst though that thirteen digits would be sufficient to record the debt (which was a mere $2.7tn in the days of Reagonomics), plus one digit for the dollar sign.
Now, though, the first digit has elbowed the dollar sign out of the clock altogether, and a $ has been manually stuck alongside so no one could think they were looking at, say, the Zimbabwean national debt instead.
LOL

Well then do some brain gymnastics ,stretch your imagination and start explaining why never any money was found to initiate education pograms and health care initiatives costing 20 billion of dollars but 750 billions of dollars was materialized out of thin air in a matter of yours once the Wall Street bankers ware loosing money ?SP4,feel challenges?I didn't think so.
Facr is if anybody takes you for a fool,it must have been the republicans ,consistently opposing any measure that would enhance the access to education and health care for the poorest amongst you ,lamenting that there was no money for it.
Now that's insane,and what is even worse is that many of you acrualy believed all that crap.Are you still doing that now ?If so then today is your day....
