Earthquake Points to Fallibility of Forecasts - Real Time ...
The Japanese earthquake is one of those shocks that derail an economic forecast. Until the full extent of the damage is known, uncertainty will be the key word for the Japanese outlook and perhaps the global one as well.
Do you think Japan can solve its debt crisis or will it file for bankruptcy?
I didn't even know about this until I read the Wall Street Journal today:"Tokyo's debt level has grown from zero in the early 1990s to above 200% of total annual economic output, the highest among major industrialized countries."Now, I'm worried about Japan's debt crisis. But I'm also curious to know why Japan hasn't been struggling with deflation for so long?
Why has Japan struggled to get out of Deflation the past twenty years?
Did Rupert Murdoch buy The Wall Street Journal?
The buzz this morning is about this report in the Wall Street Journal, which says that the Wisconsin state senate Democrats who've fled the state are about to give up the ghost:Sen. Mark Miller said he and his fellow Democrats intend to let the full Senate vote on Gov. Scott Walker's "budget-repair" bill, which includes the proposed limits on public unions' collective-bargaining rights. The bill, which had been blocked because the missing Democrats were needed for the Senate to have enough members present to vote on it, is expected to pass the Republican-controlled chamber......Mr. Miller declined to say how soon the Democratic senators, who left for Illinois on Feb. 17, would return. He said the group needed to address several issues first—including the resolution Senate Republicans passed last week that holds the Democrats in contempt and orders police to detain them when they return to Wisconsin.Other senators deny this vociferously. Democratic Senator Chris Larson had this to say:Sen. Miller's comments are taken out of context in the Wall Street Journal article just released. Dems will return when collective bargaining is off the table. That could be soon based on the growing public opposition to the bill and the recall efforts against Republicans. Unfortunately, the WSJ fished for the quote they wanted, skipping this key step in logic: we won't come back until worker's rights are preserved.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/michaeltomasky/2011/mar/07/usa-wisconsin-state-senate-dems-coming-home-maybeNo honor among thieves.Yes, those senators sure are middle-class every day Joes.
Why are these Democrats holding the Wisconsin economy hostage to their demands?
Are there any Republican moderates left or has the party slid too far Right? Some say the Tea Baggers are chasing Republicans off cliffs and that the Fringe Far Right is unable to approve of anyone but a Far Right Tea Bagger approved candidate. Any truth to this story that was reported by Wall Street Journal that Tea Baggers are Republicans biggest problem to winning Presidential race? 81% of Americans polled by Rasmussen, a Conservative pollster, said they prefer a Tax hike for the Richest 2%. Will Republicans go against the will of the people and follow the Tea Baggers off the cliff?
Anyone know of any Republican Moderate who has Tea Bagger backing that can go up against Obama?
Bachmann was on Meet the Press and some of the questions she chose to answer were about the Tea Party. She was asked why only 18% of public agreed with their policies. She then told moderator that the Tea Baggers are a "broad based" entity made up of Democrats and independents as well as Republicans. This is not truthful as it represents only 18% of Republicans views, basically a fringe of the Right. There are no Democrat Tea Bagger leaders nor any elected independant Tea Baggers. If Republicans go against the will of the majority of people and enact Tea Party policies, will it hurt them? Will Republicans follow them off a cliff as the Wall Street Journal wrote?
Why do Tea Party leaders like Bachmann tell us the Tea Party is a broad based coalition when it is not?
"Conservatives in Wisconsin are getting nervous that three Republican state senators may defect on the collective-bargaining reform vote. It's still anyone's guess as to when that vote will take place because Democrats remain in exile to prevent the necessary quorum. But Republicans in the Senate hold a 19-14 majority, so GOP Gov. Scott Walker can afford to lose no more than two Republican senators on this pivotal vote.On Wednesday, Republicans held a "unity" press conference that was attended by all but one senator, Dale Schultz. But a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showing that 62% of respondents oppose curtailing collective-bargaining rights for public-sector workers over health care, pensions or other benefits suggests that the GOP position may be losing some support among independent voters. Meanwhile, the unions have turned up the heat by launching recall efforts against at least five of the GOP senators. Conservative groups have initiated recalls against five of the missing 14 Democratic senators.The unions have said they will go along with cuts in benefits but not the restrictions on collective bargaining. Mr. Schultz has offered up a compromise that would reinstate collective bargaining for benefits after 2013. Gov. Walker has refused the plan, saying that it would make money-saving gains short-lived as unions will surely conspire to recapture lost benefits when the political alignment in Madison tilts back in their favor.""That finding shows just how quickly Walker -- who was elected to his first term last November with 52% of the vote -- has sunk just in his first two months in office. And it comes one day after Rasmussen released results from the same poll, all of which showed public opinion firmly on the side of the unions in the labor rights battle that has deadlocked the state capitol for the past few weeks.In the poll, 57% of respondents said they disapprove of Walker's job performance -- including 48% who say they strongly disapprove. Meanwhile, only 43% said they approve of the job Walker is doing.Not surprisingly, respondents who said they belong to a public union sided heavily against Walker, with roughly eight in ten giving him negative marks on job performance. Yet not only were public sector union members opposed to Walker, but a majority of private sector union members also disapproved of the governor by a 53% to 43% margin.Also interesting to note -- the overwhelming opposition from people with children in Wisconsin public schools. Sixty-seven percent of people in that demographic disapprove of Walker, including 54% who strongly disapprove."
Should Gov Walker, run for president just to spice things up?
