Agree if only one country leaves...but Italy, France, Spain Portugal, Ireland - that's 25% of the EU in trouble - WILL Germany pay for them all? Welcome to the United States of Europe. ____________ | |

What's this I heard on NPR about a Cameron aide bragging that for the UK equivilent of $400,000 you can have a face to face meal with Cameron and put your 2 cents in to influence his Gov't. $80k will get you a group meal. How pleasant that the Brits have learned something from the American politicians. NExt they'll be offering Overnight stays at 10 Downing in the bed Thatcher occupied. | |

If left to their own currencies I suspect they might have done better. Then again, they would not have enjoyed the Euro bubble boost they got for 10 years or so. | |

I don't think currency will have any effect anymore, negative or positive. I feel that's history. | |

Economically and productively, China has become the 1950's USA. Who wants to move with me? (Obviously I kidd, I just wish for better for everyone) Most fairly intelligent people know that it is most likely that in 25 years time, if not before, Asia will rule the world. It is just not pc to say so at the moment. I'm just glad that I won't be around to live in it. | |

[quote]Economically and productively, China has become the 1950's USA. Who wants to move with me? (Obviously I kidd, I just wish for better for everyone) Depends on whether they can grow their home consumption fast enough to keep pace with their exports. It was home consumption that enabled America to start booming they way they did and also to maintain this growth too. Can China achieve the same?...that is the over-riding question... Keeping an eye out for rising standards of living in China will give you the answer to this. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. | |

The thing is, for China there are some real issues. One, the hinterland, where hundreds of millions of Chinese live, is still VERY poor. Two, demographics -- one of the issues with the Chinese strict handling of 'one child' per couple is that China is entering into a phase of aging -- big time. In 25 years, the average age in China is going to be older than that of the US and approach that of Europe. Economically and productively, China has become the 1950's USA. Who wants to move with me?

I don't think china has followed or enforced one child rule in quite some time. I could be mistaken however. curious. | |

In 2008, China's National Population and Family Planning Commission said that the policy will remain in place for at least another decade. In 2010, it was announced that the majority of the citizens initially subject to the policy are no longer of reproductive age and it has been speculated that many citizens simply disregard or violate the policy in more recent years. The deputy director of the Commission stated that the policy would remain unaltered until at least 2015. In March 2011, the Chinese government reviewed the policy and expressed considerations to allow for couples to have a second child. | |

Crazy. But I'm confused how has their population boomed then? If this rule was enforced and followed, wouldn't china's population have halved by now instead of grown? | |

It was only really applied to the masses in town and cities, oouldn't be policed in rural area's and the rich or party members could always find a way round the law. And you have to wait until the first generations under this law have died out to see the real consequences and the decrease in population. | |
