Well, NASA will test the Orion space ship in 2014. Even it is scheduled to be unmanned, it doesn't say anything about being undogged (?). So, enlist as "Laika 2" and wait.

Well, because the rest of the world is unstable, the yen is going up. Help stabilize the other economies (I don't know if voodoo would wok) and then the yen will go down.

The revendication is simple:
If bankers, CEO and the "elite" made insane profits and got insane bonuses for years, this is because the economy was good and because you have people pushing money up the pyramid from the bottom. When everything run havoc, the people at the top should participate to the reconstruction. Especially the people in Wall Street that created this mess should pay.
Low taxes for the "elite" are not creating jobs. This is an illusion. Lowering taxes for companies would.

J Gov and BoJ are still after empty threats. That is not the first one. The half life of each intervention was shorter than the previous one.
Until now, what were "investors" doing?

Japan is suffering from over-exposure. The first time I saw them, it was a "what the ...?" reaction. But hey!, it was funny. The second time, it wasn't already. With a population of about 128 million, a pool of un-funny people go round and round on all channels. Over-exposure...

A Pan-European union is an utopia but necessary. Despite language and culture differences between members, borders and different currencies are an aberration. Nationalists and anti-European Union people are trapped in the village/tribe mentality. Others see it as threat to their power if the "divide et impera" policies would fail.
Greece should be kicked out the Union and banks like Goldman Sachs should be sued for helping cook the Greek books.

The whole thing is to throw money at investors? The current situation looks like mutual destruction to me.
Let's let the market fix by itself. Destroying your job and savings in the process. Communism doesn't work and now capitalism is about to fail too.
It's maybe time to take away the power of the banks & hedge funds and investment companies.

"Investors" prefer to park their money in Japan and destroying Japan's economy until the storm passes. Greed and selfishness. Tomorrow, Japan is on a holiday. Look for the yen skyrocketing tomorrow. Meanwhile, Japan is going to give subsides to companies. We should be angry against the financial "elite" for destroying economies for a profit.
