We should have given our money to china, because they did it right. If you listen to the conference calls of Deer and Cat last quarter, China was their driver. Commodity prices are rising again because of double digit growth in China. Ag, steel, aluminum, copper, and yes even oil and coal are going higher, not because of the US, but China. The driver of the world economy.
The reason there money was put into there economy quickly is because they are a communist government. No need to debate or vote on it, just get the money out there or be shot.

Little humor........
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs.
Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a grave-side service for a homeless man.
He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back-country.


As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost; and being a typical man I didn't stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight.


There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.
I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.


The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around.. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.


And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car.
Though my head hung low my heart was full.


As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say,
"Sweet Mother of Jesus, I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for over twenty years!"

Gates and Buffett :

Greed wasn't invented over the last couple years. The fundamentals of our system were in place and were/are strong. Our economy was sputtering, and still is. But it wasn't a reason to replace the engine. Fear and greed will always be around.
