Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Disagree.
After the US economic crash, unnecessary wars and all round failings of Bush and the Neocons, Obama has largely calmed things down and stabilised the world economy. Still not controlled is rising USA debt or the damage caused by Bush. But Obama has made a start.

Trump is just a crass TV talking head. A spoilt self entitled son of a rich slum landlord, a draft doger and serial exploiter of other peoples money and talent.

He is probably a necessary figure for voters, allowing them to express their dissatisfaction with the loss of their American Dreams.

Even if he wins, he will be kept under control by Congress and the legal system.

Just a shame that 4 years will be lost listening to his crap.

Anyone is better than Trump.

Please calm it down on here.

Most of your postings are either Islamophobic, racist and if they aren't that, they are full of hate and are merely 'ravings'.

This BB is therapy for Tanker. He was probably prescribed it as an alternative to psychotropic drugs.

Maybe Tanker actually is Donald Trump.

There is no such thing as normal in my view , anymore .

If, as you demand, the whole world is to hold this meeting, where would they hold it?.

Interest rates, are one of the main tools that central banks have to control the economy. World economies are currently struggling to recover from the current recession, and massive national debts.
In a period of extremely low inflation there is no reason to raise interest rates.
Our current brand of Lberal capitalism is likely transforming to accommodate a period of world wide stagnation, or at least a period of very low growth. We will not recognise the new economic reality until it is well established.
But it will still be some form of capitalism.

Another reason is modernization of factories which resulted in higher production and less workers. Higher production at lower costs resulted in higher competition.

Also, many countries have been destroyed by war over the last ten years, from Libya to Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen and now Turkey and Egypt are in trouble. So, they are out of the market as consuming countries.... The quality of life in those countries is very low... So the problems here and there.....

The low rate has to stay for sometimes.

That is one of the most serious weaknesses of the EU. The ECB sets interest rates for the whole of Europe. Individual countries cannot set their own interest rates. The necessity for central control comes from the Euro. Ordinarily Greece would have altered interest rates and devalued their currency and traded their way out of problems via the tourist trade and fruit/veg exports. Central control of interest only really works if budgets and tax rates are all the same. You can expect that next.

Could not agree more.
It's either all fully in to the euro, including full fiscal tie.
Or individual floating currencies tied to a stable central core, similar to UK's current status with euro.
Greece can't get out of it's problem unless EU central bankers take massive hit.
Of course Trump has a solution.
For USA debt, just force a default and make those that lent you money take a hit. It worked for him as a crappy developer.

The UK holds in excess of 200 billion of US debt so if he goes for it we are hit badly.

The only answer for us is to LEAVE before we get sucked into it all.
