Les Etats-Unis, la dette et le défaut de paiement. Il est courant de comparer la situation grecque et celle des États-Unis.
En fait, les problèmes sont différents puisque, si dans le cas grec, l’État a du mal à trouver des prêteurs, dans le cas américain, les prêteurs se heurtent au refus de l’emprunteur de se tourner vers eux. Depuis le printemps, l’administration Obama a joué avec la trésorerie pour rester sous le célèbre plafond d’endettement instauré dans son principe en 1917. Ce temps gagné n’a guère servi qu’à l’exaspération du problème.
Une des raisons est que la tension créée correspond d’abord à des préoccupations politiques de court terme. Obama vs. républicains : un match pré-électoral Quand Obama affirme que "compromis" et "impôts" sont pour les républicains des "grossièretés", c’est autant le candidat à sa réélection que le président qui parle. Les États-Unis n'ont jamais autant dépensé et les impôts continuent à y être régulièrement réduits Leur position appelle trois réflexions : Qu’en termes galants… Reinventing Monopolies. Futurist Thomas Frey: In 1936 Edwin Howard Armstrong unveiled an improvement in radio that would later become known as FM radio.
Working out of an office on the 82nd floor of the Empire State Building, an office provided by RCA, Armstrong was on the verge of revolutionizing the radio industry. But it was a revolution that would not happen for several decades. Armstrong was a true innovator in communications technology, first patenting three breakthrough technologies between 1914 and 1922. By early 1923, Armstrong was a millionaire as a result of licensing his patents to RCA. David Sarnoff, then President of RCA and former friend of Armstrong, decided the switch from AM to FM would undermine the current AM monopoly.
After countless years of court battles with RCA and others, financially drained, Armstrong gave up the battle. Due to the actions of RCA, FM technology sat on the sidelines for two decades waiting for legal battles to play out. The Human Nature of Monopolies As Dr. Euro-geddon: The EU, born out of idealism 60 years ago, now a byword for waste, financial chaos and unaccountability.

With British attention distracted by the phone-hacking scandal, this week the European political elite hurled another £96 billion at the ailing Greek economy, desperate to stave off a financial meltdown that could plunge the entire European project into disaster. OGM, sécheresse, et déficits… Injunction to move by the end the of month. Comments (2) A COUPLE living an "off-grid" lifestyle say they face prison unless they move from their own land in Willand and return to an existence in the benefits trap.
Stig and Dinah Mason bought Muxbeare Orchard after a sudden windfall allowed them to quit their impoverished lives on a Hertfordshire council estate two years ago. The Masons have transformed what they described as a derelict four-acre plot into a haven of self-sufficiency boasting a 400 sq m allotment, a polytunnel and greenhouses to grow fruit and vegetables, chickens for egg production and an orchard they have regenerated by planting around 14 new apple trees of various species. The couple, who have two boys, aged eight and nine, say because they moved onto the site in order to work the land, Mid Devon District Council is turfing them off as officers do not consider them to be conserving an agricultural area. They faced magistrates on March 31 when they were served with an injunction to leave within 28 days from June 1.

A free day as a free man in America!!! Milo NickelsActivist Post I woke up today and, as I do every morning, I paused to reflect about how great it was to be a completely free man living in the United States of America -- the last bastion for true individual liberty in the world.
It's a wondrous and exhilarating feeling to know that I am a sovereign, completely independent, individual. No man, woman, child, or government can interfere with my unalienable rights of life, liberty, or my pursuit of happiness. I'm almost overwhelmed that I can do ANYTHING I WANT (as long as I don't screw with anyone else's rights). So I roll over and I give my wife a good morning kiss on the cheek. My first stop of the day is the bathroom, as it is every day.
I didn't have much planned today -- just had to run a few errands and mow my yard. The music really did the trick. After I finish all my errands (which all involve paying sales tax to the government from the money I already paid income tax on) I return to my house to mow the lawn. I Fantasize about a World with No Income Tax, but… June 22, 2011 by Dan Mitchell Most people fantasize about supermodels (at least most guys, I have no clue about females).
But I’m different. Sans gouvernement, l’économie se porte mieux en Belgique.
