    Director Of IMF Arrested For Alleged Sexual Assault

    He was on personal visit but on the $3000 a night suite. If he was paying for it himself then he could have easily afforded top of the line Escorts for an hour and at worst end up like Spitzer. :D

    Why are we friends with Pakistan and why do we give them billions of dollars in aid

    Pak is US ally although kind of double faced. US politicians are stupid, all the way from George Bush I to Barak Obama...............all stupid! Reagan was somewhat smart and bold and forced commies to capitulate. Pak has nukes and they are using them to the maximum effect against...

    What happened in Russian default? Or any sovereign default?

    To be correct Canadians are buying F-35s for roughly 7-8 Billion. F-22s are not to be exported to anyone including Israel and UK........atleast as of now. Canadians do not need F-35s but they have to buy them to keep the US factory humming. US can afford to shut down all its new weapons...

    What happened in Russian default? Or any sovereign default?

    US not good guys but they know that even 1 nuke on their land will cause them lots of discomfort. US does and still hates Russia as much as it did USSR. This hate and fear of Russians is the reason why US did not cut its defense budget down after 1991 and now it is $700B and up. They missed a...

    What happened in Russian default? Or any sovereign default?

    'I disagree with your analysis of US being saved by devaluing the dollar further.' Do not get me wrong, more than HALF of US debt is owed to US citizens and US financial instituitions. So devaluation can only go a limited distance but even in that 'it will hurt' common person of lower and...

    What happened in Russian default? Or any sovereign default?

    Still pretty much the same. Yeltsin stopped most of the weapons research and with also went a minor source of export income to the economy. Today Russian weapons programs are in such bad shape that they are buying French ships and would not develop new weapons until and unless foreign nations...

    What happened in Russian default? Or any sovereign default?

    No body was invading Russia but nearly everyone was looting Russia if they had a chance. During 1990s, $3 to 5 Billion was leaving Russian economy each month and landing in the Swiss and other banks in the West. Culprits were Russian Oligarch, Mafia and their foreign cahoots. In 1990s...

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    there might be some truth to the pattern of higher revenues due to some degree of lower taxes as given american culture, the consumption levels go higher with more disposable income in pocket and government gets more tax revenues not from people but from businesses. however, when lowering...

    Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz says:

    no offense to the economist but then if financial matters are not tightened the debt levels soar and then government is paying a bigger chunk of the revenues to pay off the interest each month. this means spending in other areas is cut down which means fewer jobs. there are tons of jobs in...

    How much did Bin Laden cost the US?

    The most that Afghan war has cost so far is 500 Billion ie. Half Trillion. Rest is all overkill and wastage that US government like to indulge in. War in Iraq cost 1 Trillion and it was not needed to begin with but US needed a war to boost its economic growth or rather ward off serious...

    17,500 Farmers Killed Themselves every Year in India

    With that logic there is little improvement coming for the Indians. When third or second world folks start to point fingers back at the US/West then argument becomes illogical and leaves little room for correcting the dragging factors. It seems you are trying to equalize the US and Indian...

    17,500 Farmers Killed Themselves every Year in India

    In India a day labourer earning Rs 200 a day would not be able to do any better than a mud hut and other variables noted. Do not have to go travelling just do some research on the internet and find for yourself. Government has money but lots of it is squandered in waste and looted via...

    17,500 Farmers Killed Themselves every Year in India

    Only hand to mouth, live in mud huts and when sick no money to buy meds or see a doctor. Not work for a day means skip meals the next day while working. Buying a bicycle a luxary and having a color tv is elegance. Wonder if you want to live like that and with pollution and sanitation in the D...

    U.S. spending $1.4 billion per al-Qaeda fighter in Afghanistan

    Let's say US is spending $10B a month in Afghan war. This does not mean that US is throwing away $10B. Nearly 50 to 80% of this figure is recycled back into the US economy. Soldiers getting paid plus battlefield allowances, Independent US contractors, ammo used means US suppliers were paid...

    17,500 Farmers Killed Themselves every Year in India

    Stupid Indians have not been able to follow up on the Israel's 'drip irrigation' technology whereby plants and crops are fed water in a special way that even 1/4th of water supplied is equivalent to normal amount used. Something to do with supplying water to plant areas where use is every...
