Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring. -
Aren't you intelligent enough to recognize a filler article when you see one? This speech is just a bit of empty rhetoric of the kind politicians sprinkle here and there to oil relations with the US and other nations. I mean for a bunch of people to get excited over this drivel is a sign of sheer boredom and lack of meaning in life.Here is an interesting scenario to check out. The Vietnam war is cool.Comment

A boilerplate public relation speech is exactly what this is not. Watanabe gives explicit policy advice. He says that the crisis is serious and could have drastic world wide repercussions. He goes so far as to say that the problem may have no solution and that we are all screwed. Later in the speech I believe he states that systemic financial failure might cause radioactive dinosaurs to rise from the oceans and destroy our cities.
What part of this is "empty rhetoric" designed to oil relations between nations?
Ok. His policy advice may not be good. And it may not disinterested. But I don't think you can say that he isn't taking the situation seriously.VANGUARDComment

The danders of deflation just contained to Japan has never been much of a problem even for Japan, but everyone should know, and the Japanese certainly do, that if it ever spread to the US there would be very bad consequences for the entire world.I drank beer.

If we bail out the people that got us into this mess, we'll lurch from crisis to crisis until we run out of money to bail them out with."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

It doesn't work like that. Not bailing people out might mean less jobs (money).Originally posted by Victor Galis
