To Mr. Obama

Dear Mr. Obama What took you so long to get to the White House? I guess I am wishing you were born earlier and live forever.

No more Wall Street down my throat

As if enough wasn’t enough AIG paid billions to Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch etc. settling it’s debt in full. Why was the debt not discounted since we the tax payers are paying for the survival of this corrupt institution made of enemies of American people is beyond my comprehension.
Ethics amongst thieves I guess?
To avoid all [...]

Americans with blinders on blunder along

The current economic situation is directly linked to the loss of jobs to foreign nations, which is directly correlated to the reduction in the number of small American business which has directly decimated large chunks of American middle class.

Bobby Jindal “Hai hai”

Hai Hai is the most felt, expressed and used hence most understood political sentiment in India. It loosely translated means “Shame shame or “die of shame”.

Think of Americans FIRST – a Note to Policy Makers

Once again everyone – the Politicians, the Economists and the Bankers – miss THE key point that unless the benefits of tax cuts reach the Main Street and the American Consumer our economic recovery will splutter and fail.
72% or is it 76% of the US economy is consumer (spending) driven, so unless that majority feels [...]

No Globalization, No Obama

Ernesto Zedillo said in Forbes a few months ago that one of the things ailing America was our abjectly low savings.  And Bill Gates has repeatedly reprimanded the American education system for failing to deliver adequate quality and quantity of skilled workers to the technology sector.

Can Indian Economy continue to grow

Comment on: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News/Economy/Finance/Indias_economy_strong_enough_to_weather_global_crisis_PM/rssarticleshow/2731427.cms
Dr. Manmohan’s Singh’s assurance that Indian economy can continue to grow at 9% (his status as an architect of modern Indian economy is unimpeachable) unaffected by the inevitable slow down of US economy doesn’t seem realistic as the only other economy that has maintained that growth is China and that growth is based [...]
