Pope John Paul was not afraid to address issues with world economy In May 1991 he issued the encyclical, "Centesimus Annus" which has the fullest treatment of the market economy in any papal document. It was mostly positive, but also had qualifications and ringing reminders about economic failures in both developing and developed countries. |

Of course we have to fix it, we're all coming back to enjoy it again. You're idea of a permanent vacation in heaven sounds just like all the other fairy stories we tell small children. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Actually, the stories are coming from the small children, and being verified as true. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The thing is, Padre, they do not want you to understand it. There is a small subset that does understand it, meanwhile I have met people of amazing intelligence who do not. I'm talking doctor-level smarts. In a way count yourself lucky because I swear you need a borderline personalty disorder to get it. FWIW I include myself in the disorder and understanding it groups. The President is a fink. |

"Some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system." Pope Francis I" Lloyd Blankfein CEO, Goldman Sachs "We are doing Gods work" The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

IMF discussing causing, a "credit event". "The transcript, though received with fury and incredulity in Greece, will drop like a bombshell into the Commission and the ECB. It is they who are holding E300bn+ of Greek debt. It is the whole of Europe, in other words, that the IMF is conspiring to hit with the shock doctrine."

This just keeps getting more and more a tangled mess. Greece is like some guy living above his means in a nice neighborhood. All the neighbors joined the country club so his wife made them join too. But they cannot afford the dues, so they fall behind. Meanwhile the country club has to keep so many members or they lose their own line of credit with their bank. Just thinking now, it shows how history turns things. If not for the USSR threat, Greece would be some backwater where Germans went for their vacations and nothing more. The President is a fink. |
