We just dumped in billions and trillions into the economy. Now, 2% of the world owns most of the world’s wealth. I wonder who got to the swimming pool first to bail out all that water that the government just dumped into the pool all at once!!! The wealthy have the connections, the tools and the know how. While the rest of us are stuck with the bill.
White collar crime isn’t really seen as a big crime.
Which brings about some questions I have:

1) how much of that bail out money is due to espionage (spies), how much is due to scandals (white collar crime, they never get caught), and how much is due to just pure inefficiency of the economies (tell me how many jobs actually add value and return on investment? and how much more efficient are we becoming as a whole? I see a lot of investment into roads and buildings… what return on investment does that really have? Probably none… But, you can bet that someone some place is making money off this entire cycle – 90s brought high tech boom and bust, 00 brought huge government spending and housing boom (and big ticket items)… mostly hiring 20 somethings. I know lots of 40 somethings just suffering right now. Those with families).

2) can the world handle all 6 billion of us. Especially if we are all after prosperity. We sell the Americas as the land of prosperity. Can we keep going using so much energy in a wasteful way without much concern for the future. Government accounting is typically just year by year without much long term planning… Can we keep using energy as we have been? Do we really need a push for R&D and efficiency. Small is good. Diversity in corporations. What we have now is monopolies and at the mercy of them as we have just seen (bailout)
