Как вам нравиться Обамы автомобильная политика?Мне помниться что по крайней мере в НьюЙорке было нечто подобное,но только с оружием. За любой сданный ствол платили 180долл без лишних вопросов.Пеступность от этого меньше не стала,но денежки налогоплательщика были разбазарены.Грешен-тогда сам подумывал сдать свой китайский СКС -купленный за 120 долл для охоты и купить что либо более качественное,но совесть замучила.

Пожалуй, единственная инициатива Обамы, которую я поддерживаю и озвучил годы назад - создать государственные страховые компании - (я бы пошёл даже дальше - национализировал существующие), не пройдёт... Что вы думаете на этот счёт?

Надеюсь, что не пройдет. Национализация страховых компаний и приведет к социалистическому перевороту. Не дай бог это случиться

this is from the man who predicted all the mess we are in right now
********en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouriel_Roubini

Sveta,
I know who he is of course, and did read his FT article.
He was not the only one who predicted this turn of events there were 100s of people.
I somewhat agree with his reasoning.. i posted many times what i think will happen.
I don't believe in U or W recovery at this point, my view is something like an L - shaped recovery.
At this point world governments injected about 20 trillion into the world economy in order to mitigate de-leveraging process.
I think this was a mistake, de-leveraging should have been allowed to take place.
We got a small bump up based on those actions, however we have made the problem worst on the intermediate term.

Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. unemployment will surge to 10percent this year and the budget deficit will be $1.5 trillionnext year, both higher than previous Obama administrationforecasts because of a recession that was deeper and longer thanexpected, White House budget chief Peter Orszag said.
The Office of Management and Budget forecasts that the U.S.economy will shrink 2.8 percent this year, worse than the 1.2percent contraction the OMB projected in May. For next year, thebudget office said the gross domestic product will grow 2.0percent, less than the 3.2 percent expected in May. By 2011, theeconomy would be well on its way to recovery, growing at a 3.8percent annual rate, according to the administration’s mid-yeareconomic review, released this morning.

those idiots still want to push for the HealthCare bill adding to the deficit - it will kill the economy... :-|

Honestly speaking, i don't think the healthcare bill will help or hurt the economy on the short-intermediate term.. at least in it's current state.
Even if the costs is 100bln/year.. there are no inflationary pressures, so additional 100bln in bond sale would not be a big issues at all.

tax increases on high earners and small businesses will not hurt the economy?
you don't think that if they cut reimbursements to some healthcare professionals (businesses), it will result in higher unemployment?

tax increases are not in a bill right now.. they are debating how to fund the costs of universal coverage.. and i don't think there has been a definitive decision made.
also i don't believe this has anything to do with re-reimbursements to the healthcare professionals and don't see how this will result in higher unemployment.
