The current '3rd. World' regions have far more people now than ever before and so they are in for a rough ride also as their numbers become corrected.

World type of life with no electricity, no motors of any kind with food, water, shelter and transportation being only what people can provide for themselves or as a part of a small community.

every important resource that you guys can't consume anymore because you are broke will become so cheap that other countries finally get the change to import more instead of you pigs.

Not that a retard with a brain of a carrot will understand it go watch some O' Reilly more with gas freak Oily and monkey brain Anti Doomer.

Income Inequality Is At An All-Time High:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Income inequality in the United States is at an all-time high, surpassing even levels seen during the Great Depression, according to a recently updated paper by University of California, Berkeley Professor Emmanuel Saez. The paper, which covers data through 2007, points to a staggering, unprecedented disparity in American incomes. On his blog, Nobel prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman called the numbers "truly amazing."

Though income inequality has been growing for some time, the paper paints a stark, disturbing portrait of wealth distribution in America. Saez calculates that in 2007 the top .01 percent of American earners took home 6 percent of total U.S. wages, a figure that has nearly doubled since 2000.

As of 2007, the top decile of American earners, Saez writes, pulled in 49.7 percent of total wages, a level that's "higher than any other year since 1917 and even surpasses 1928, the peak of stock market bubble in the 'roaring" 1920s.'"

Beginning in the economic expansion of the early 1990s, Saez argues, the economy began to favor the top tiers American earners, but much of the country missed was left behind. "The top 1 percent incomes captured half of the overall economic growth over the period 1993-2007," Saes writes. ')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]California to get $1.5-billion loan from JPMorgan Chase

The risk to JPMorgan is virtually nil...

Beyond the interest it will earn on the $1.5-billion loan, JPMorgan's proactive move on the deal is a way to get back into the good graces of a state that always has plenty of fee-generating financing needs.

In other good news for the state, Standard & Poor's said Tuesday that California's budget-balancing plan was solid enough to keep its low credit rating from getting lower, at least in the short term.

The rating company affirmed its "A" grade on the state's $67 billion in outstanding general obligation bonds and removed the debt from its "negative credit watch" list. That means "the potential for a downgrade is now less imminent," said S&P analyst Gabriel Petek.
