#2 Obamanomics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Obamanomics refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.[1][2] Modern Obamanomics originated in the late nineteenth-century working class political movement. Karl Marx posited that Obamanomics would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution which represents the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.

#8 Don't worry! The french authorities have announced that France will avoid recession, with a planned growth of 0.1! Which is remarkable, as Germany said it WILL go in recession, and, well, they kinda beat us in terms of growth, lesser public spending, lesser debt and all... But, Thanks Keynes, recession will carefully avoid crossing the french borders, exactly as the Chernobyl cloud caaarrrefuly followed the french Gvt's orders not to enter the country... at least, that's the line the gvt kept for about 12-14 years???, all evidences to the contrary, with experts coming to the television on prime-time to assure bold-faced the french people that there was no radioactive cloud over France, the interior minister saying there was no cloud, etc, etc... so, yeah, I've got a good feeling about that recession thingie!

#9 Has the Euro exchange rate dropped yet? It seems like when the currency markets went wild, that was about the time oil spiked and the world economy started to tank. A cheaper Euro and stronger Dollar might help everyone....

#10 A cheaper Euro and stronger Dollar might help everyone.
Ima thinking the opposite, Scooter. A weaker Euro helps the Euros but weakens the US. Europe needs to have a blow torch applied to their belly, to convince them of the need to reform their unsustainable cradle to the grave welfare policies.These were easy to implement when they could outsource their defense obligations to the US for free. They need to grow up and stop acting like trust fund kids and start to find their own way in the world.
