TWO SIMPLE STEPS WOULD SAVE THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND BEGIN A DECADE OF GLOBAL GROWTH: CHINA FLOATING THE RENMINBI AND OPEC CUTTING OIL TO $35/BARREL

ALL IT WOULD TAKE TO REJUVENATE THE GLOBAL ECONOMY WOULD BE:

  • (A) FLOATING CHINESE CURRENCY AND
  • (B) OIL PRICED AT PRE-9/11 LEVELS - $35/BARREL.
  • CHINA AND OPEC COULD DO THIS WITH THE STROKE OF A PEN.
  • THEY WOULD BOTH REAP HUGE LONG-TERM BENEFITS FROM THE HUGE BURST OF GLOBAL GROWTH IT WOULD CAUSE.
REPEAT: THIS WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THEY DO OUT OF CHARITY OR GRATEFULNESS TO US; IT WOULD BE IN THEIR SELF-INTEREST:
  • IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR CHINA TO HAVE THE WEST BE PROSPEROUS ENOUGH TO BUY STUFF FROM THEM.
  • IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR OPEC TO SELL $35/BARREL OIL TO A GROWING WEST, THEN $35/BARREL OIL TO A WEST IN DEPRESSION.
  • IN RETURN, THE EU AND THE USA WOULD CUT DEBT BY CUTTING TAXES SOME AND AND CUTTING SPENDING A LOT - AND BY REDUCING GOVERNMENT PENSIONS AND RAISING THE RETIREMENT AGE --- AND DUMPING ANY IDEA OF A CARBON TAX OF ANY TYPE.
NOT MUCH ELSE CAN PREVENT THE IMPENDING DOWNWARD SPIRAL TO A GLOBAL DEPRESSION - EXCEPT A GOP VICTORY IN NOVEMBER.

IF WE MAKE IT THAT FAR!

  2. The people who make up OPEC are far too stupid to ever make such a move.

  3. The people who make up OPEC believe more/bigger is always better. They think the economic pie is a fixed size, so they have to get a bigger piece RIGHT NOW, or else Allah will be humiliated.

    The people of the left think the same thing, except they aren't worried about Allah being humiliated. Instead, they are worried about Karl Marx being humiliated.
