Congress should implement a payroll tax holiday in light of the recession. hehe sure why not! It'll never happen ... along with all the other great ideas: forgiving mortgages; wiping out the three credit reporting institutions and starting over; suspending all government raises and bonuses; arresting all the greedy bastards .. o

コールセンターは従業員がいる物理的な場所を公開する義務があるべきだ。 The employees are not the issue, it is the business. Customers have the right to know where their support is coming from.

The U.S. government should implement a moratorium on home foreclosures. The sad thing is, they are only looking at foreclosures that are under the Fanny's, I believe ... the problem is more widespread than that and getting worse.

Public investment should have a higher priority than tax cuts in Barack Obama's stimulus package. "Public investment" as long as that means rebuilding our infrastructure, investing in "green technology", taking care of our diminishing ecosystem, affordable universal health care, help for small or "cottage industries" and more resources for our sagging

The U.S. recession will last throughout 2009. And beyond if the numbers the GAO, Fed and many private economists are even close to using are right. Some other groups, running the numbers since 2006 are very dismayed, we may be sinking lower than anyone could have imagined, but you didn't hear that f

Citigroup should have been bailed out by the federal government. Unfortunately, yes, but not without conditions. There is not oversight on this giveaway and that is very disconcerting seeing as AIG gave dividends away already with their bailout money. I worried this whole thing is turning into windfall profit for the a

Cutting corporate tax rates is not an effective method of creating jobs. "Reaganomics" does not work! That is, "trickle-down" economics. In fact, corporations are only interested in what their majority share holders want: increased profit and wider profit margins. That's it. Critics like to say our corporations are the most ta

The media has not played a significant role in the financial markets' response to current economic conditions. "significant" ... "response"? No. We seem to be looking for scapegoats, when in fact we should be looking at our own habits and responses, as a country: government, military, corporate and personal. Fear and hate are gripping our country, that's what's dr

U.S. Treasury Bonds will lose their AAA status. I had to read up on this issue and US Treasury Bonds in general. Sadly, or fortunately, I have never held any Bonds in my life. So, from what I have read these Bonds should have lost their AAA rating a long time ago. Their seems to be more tradition and "

There should not be an international central bank. Not as it is presently focused, organised and funded. I have pondered this question for quite some time. It may be a tool of the elite and power brokers of this world, but I have other questions: do we allow countries to sink or swim in a global crisis cr

フェイスブックにはマイクロソフト社がほのめかした150億ドルの価値がある。 Whether it is or not (by any standard of measurement you wish to employ) the fact that some moron is willing to pay that much means it is probably worth more!

米国連邦政府の赤字は長期金利に影響する。

Management is most responsible for the U.S. auto industry's financial problems. While they were still pushing "cars" to be made on truck chassis's the rest of the world was passing them by.

政府は不景気の間、ケインズ派経済学の原則に従うべきである。 Look it worked in Britain and other countries, FDR used it as well, pulling industrial economies out of the great depression after the Great War. Keyes used a series of very complex theories to control spending in a depressed economy, dependent on capital

9/11以来、飛行機の旅は安全ではない。 On side we have a safer cockpit and we stand in longer lines while they search our carry-on luggage, however, do not make air travel safer, or rather, allow us to think we are safe enough. We still have as many lapses in security when it comes to personal

労働組合は経済に肯定的影響を及ぼす。 Despite the failings of their leadership, Unions still provide a valuable service for those individuals susceptible to exploitation and abuse by those corporations large enough to exert that kind of power over their workers politically, economically, soci

ドル安の経済的利益はコストを上回らない。 There are local economies and the US economy, then there are global markets and the global economy. We can no longer bury our heads in our own red-ink. We have seen in every recession since the late '60's that as global (as well as national) confidence in

The federal government is most responsible for the current financial crisis. Deregulation cause this crisis in large part, followed closely by the financial institutions who wrote out the loans in the name of greed.

The financial crisis will lead to another economic depression. By all indications, based on historical data, we are already in a depression, just that no one wants to call it that for fear of it's political and social ramifications.

政府の政策は株式市場に小さな影響を及ぼす。 I have read in a few publications that over 80% (averaged) of the stock market is controlled by fewer that .05% of the people. I can't tell how accurate that is because it seems the information is taken from different sources over different periods of tim

米国は財政均衡憲法修正案を制定するべきである。 It would never fly or be practical without many, many allowances for exceptions, events and new information ...

The federal government's financial bailout package will not help stabilize the U.S. economy. Only if the corporations want the US economy to stabilize. Right now it is in their best interest to destabilize the economy to help them with their bottom lines to make their largest shareholders get even richer. To hell with the people, they want their

映画館は携帯電話の受信をブロックする権利を持つべきである。 Long ago (actually not so long ago) before the time of the cell phone or the beeper, people went to the movies to escape the confines of their reality and be entertained by another type of reality. I believe people still do. Cell phone use in the theater
