And people are worried about our youth, even wondering why many are dropping out of school and refusing student loans? At this rate, our kids should be worried about continued exposure to US! Try to explain the following to a 10 year old logician.
Japan: "We have ways to make our products dirt cheap to you ... and we're willing to use 'em!"
Japan Finance Minister Stresses Commitment to Acting on Undue Yen Rises
Maybe there'll be another Japan-German pact, to jointly indenture both populations? In the name of freedom?
When should we tell them that exports are a REAL cost, and imports a REAL benefit, regardless of the fiat numbers?
Meanwhile, did JP Morgan really say the following?
"People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd." - J. P. Morgan
Can someone verify that quote?
Are both Japan and America remaking themselves in Wall St.'s image? Decisions, decisions. Is it "ban colonialism" or "banko-loanialism" .. ? Let's divide into groups and argue the point. (BMHOTK or Palm Slap or just stare in slackjawed numbness - your results may vary.)

All we need are slogans. "Sounds stupid!" .... vs ... "Less meaningful!"
Add Gordon Gekko as a spokesman, and we'll have some ribboting ads to keep competing frog choruses slowly boiling. "We're ..... no ..... wiser."
Why, with continued practice & proper miseducation of our youth, we can achieve that! It's a goal we've nearly met. We can do it America! Can't let Japan outdo us on THAT score either. It's the Geithner way, or no way at all! Yeah! Let's DO nothing! Forget miscegenation, "misceducation" is our real goal.
After all, we too are of no importance to ourselves except as entities to be misused. Same for our kids.

Or?
The Japanese and Germans lost WW2. I don't think it's all over and forgotten. They are still not allowed a big military. They were largely excluded as the US and UK came to dominate WW finance and appropriate a good chunk of the worlds mineral resources. A major reason they lost the war because they couldn't match the industrial capacity of the US.
ReplyDeleteThey found a way to survive in a hostile trade environment and they are going to stick with it. They are sensible to keep up their industrial and technological base..... China is growing, the US is getting more unstable and nastier. Never know when you might need to switch sides and knock up a large military toute suite.

Well this much almost certain: it is badly copied. "Principle" should be "principal." People used to be able to spell, and the more literate were aware of homophones.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteMaybe either Ron Chernov, author of "The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance," or Jean Strouse, author of "Morgan: American Financier" would know.
Oops, should be Ron Chernow
