Barry heads off to England and he and Michelle act like the Beckhams
when the arrived in the US. All hail the global savior! The G20 summit
goes on and he calls it a success. The world is united to fight this
economic problem. Maybe I'm a bit naive but I feel like all the
nations of the world are trying to fit in one life boat. Wouldn't it
make more sense for everyone to separate themselves from one another.
Not that I don't believe and unity and all but I don't feel like being
tied to the UK with the Socialist Gordy Brown at the helm. Sure we
might pump more of our money into the economies of third world
countries, but what if they experience a drought, or a disaster that
leaves them suffering? Now everyone attached will suffer. I see the
world all jumping into a bottomless pit together. What if it doesn't
work out? Who is left on top? We always hear how a wise investor
diversifies their portfolio. So then would someone please tell me why
it makes any sense to put everyone's eggs into one big basket? I would
like our states to have more control over their own economy. Wouldn't
it be nice to know that if some crazy state like California or New York
is going through an economic downturn and decides to raise taxes that
you could always move to Wyoming and have some fiscal freedom? The
simpler a thing is, the easier it is to fix. I can easily put
batteries in a remote but it'll be a cold day in Hell when I try to fix
a watch. The Global Economy is becoming one enormous, complex watch.
Who will be there to fix it if something goes wrong?
