I’ve been so wrapped up in the “stimulus” that I haven’t been paying much attention to world news. Here are some updates from CNN:
Power Sharing:
A Nation Suffering:
Election Results–or non-results in Israel. Also, good information on Israeli politics:

Did you hear about the revolution in Iceland and the collapse of their economy.

Yes, Adam. I think Iceland would be a great place to visit these days because of the low low prices on luxury accomodations….paging college students everywhere.

I hope Zimbabwe’s economy will be fixed soon, but it can only happen if Zimbabwe’s unity government gets better.

It’s scary how little money the Zimbabwe currency is worth. Hopefully the economy will never get that bad in the U.S.

Hopefully Zimbabwe can do something for their situation. I’d be pretty bad if the US got into such a situation, and the “stimulus” bill isn’t helping.

I also hope that this current economic situation in zimbabwe can be solved to but I just looked up what the US has for debt and we are 10 trillion dollars in debt. How long has this borrowing been going on and why did the government let it get this bad?

After reading what Adam had wrote, the only thing I can say is WHAT?!?! We are ten trillion dollars in debt? What has the U.S been doing? I mean the only way to get of this debt (if possible…which I have little faith in) is to print more money. However I am not one who believes in printing more money because in my opinion it almost always is the beginning of a crumbling economy. I just hope we don’t witness repeat itself (Zimbabwe)!!!
