No. But, if they exclude G-8 and make it G-12 it will succeed.

The bankers deserved every penny of every bonus we earned. Try to take it away, I dare you.

I think they should invite every country in the world today, and work like The United Nations. They get lots done. muah

But even with all the failings, the G-20 could still offer more promise than the old G-7, if for no other reason than the right people are now at the table where decisions are being made.

If I were running a multinational company I would be in favor of a G-20 running everything so I could lobby just one group and have clear sailing to 80 or 90 percent of the world's consumers.
