The following have all joined in on the assualt on Libya: US, France, UK, Italy, canada, Spain, belgium, Denmark & Qatar
Gem, I agree the middle class in this country has absorbed a lot of blows. It is one thing to bloviate on the macro issues and another to figure out how to personally navigate the current economy.
this offensive in Libya better not be costing ANY $$$
fuck – we do stupid shit like cut NPR funding, yet go and launch a bunch of million dollar missiles?
gem, how could they turn on us??
I think they are grateful for the missile support. There are still rumours that Gaddafi was killed.
Dona, thanks for that. Still though, couldn’t there be some sort of program in place so that the people who used to rely on quinoa could still be able to afford to eat it. It’s a superfood and people in the US beyond hippies have caught on and now it’s out of the reach of regular Peruvians. What’s the word for the market force of the moonface?
Do you guys think the Libyan rebels will turn on us and not be happy we intervened if this current assault doesn’t work or go quickly?
I appreciate the info you guys supplied via the conversation on why not revert to protectionism – but I think it does speak of a deeper issue that the idea of a true middle class in the US isn’t sustainable unless those people spend their life on credit – whether it’s buying your home on loan, car on loan or just “stuff” on credit cards – it’s very hard to live a cash life nowadays….
Good day in the market today.
Stock prices of multinational corporations that exploit cheap labor and make inferior products are up today. AAPL is also.
“At least the french and the Uk are also in on it. Why aren’t any Mid East/Arab nations joining in???”
Guess they are too worried about Bahrain
