Really? One of the forbes links says this: based on credit default swap spreads there is a 3.1% chance of a U.S. default in the next five years, according to CMA, a London credit information specialist http://www.forbes.com/2010/01/20/united-states-debt-10-business-wall-street-united-states-debt.html?feed=rss_popstories http://www.forbes.com/2010/01/20/united-states-debt-10-busin... That's pretty bad. Also, I didn't notice any contradictions. Maybe your hyperbolic remarks are true. Maybe Corporations are greedy -- they do have a fiduciary responsibility to increase shareholder wealth. Maybe Globalism is bad -- think global act local right? Globalization is the opposite of that! Also, I think the article said it was pretty much the leaders fault, what with a pic of GWB on one of the pages, or did you read that one? it seems pretty plain that it's the investment equivalent of a supermarket tabloid Is that ad hominem? Which statements the article includes aren't true?
