Is It Time for Financial Institutions to Give Back?
Posted on Dec 1, 2009
It seems plausible that payback time has arrived for the international financial community. The principal obstacle to this happening is, at the moment, the Barack Obama administration's Treasury Department, which thus far in the financial crisis has been mistaken for the executive committee of Goldman Sachs in disguise. It has opposed every proposal to force the financial institutions whose reckless behavior has been responsible for a crisis that wiped out the jobs, homes and savings of millions to assume financial accountability for what they have done.
What they can do is pay back the public funds that rescued the international economy by paying off part of the enormous debts now assumed by the major nations. All or nearly all the EU states are now over the deficit limit imposed by their Stability Pact—or way over as in the Greek case. U.S. external debt is 94.3 percent of GDP and rising.
Politicians talk about the supposed need to raise taxes now that the emergency funds injected into the world economy are drying up. But how do higher taxes pay for economic recovery? U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's solution is growth. But where is this growth to come from when the stimulus ends, as all agree that it must?
Let the bankers give back what they have been given. A proposal rapidly gaining international political support and a grudging acceptance in the financial community is to place a very small tax on international financial transactions to pay back what governments gave the banks.
The proposed tax rate has ranged from .002 percent to 0.4 percent of the transaction's value, depending on the nature of the transaction.
Square, Site wide
Estimates of the amount this tax could bring in annually go as high as $650 billion. In Washington, Democratic Rep. John Larson has proposed 0.25 percent on such innovations as over-the-counter derivative transactions.
Others in Congress have proposed that same rate for ordinary stock transactions, but with individual retirement accounts and educational and health savings accounts exempted, as well as all transactions under $100,000. The seven Democratic representatives who are co-sponsoring this bill say that half the revenue would go to pay down the federal deficit and the rest into job-creation programs. They claim that their bill would raise some $150 billion a year.
However, single-nation proposals are not taken very seriously because of the competitiveness issue. Bankers insist, not very plausibly, that the entire international financial industry will flee from country to country to stay ahead of any taxes, just as American corporations flee from one tax haven to the next to avoid contributing anything to their nation's well-being. Any financial-transaction tax would have to be uniform internationally, or at least incorporate the principal exchanges.
However, it may be necessary to go beyond exchanges since big financial operators increasingly trade directly or through unregulated mechanisms. While still in office in September, former German Finance Minister Peer Steinbruck argued the following: "A global financial-transaction tax, applied uniformly across the G20 countries, is the obvious instrument to ensure that all financial-market participants contribute equally."
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and I suggest the G20 take concrete steps toward implementing a tax of .05 percent on all trades of financial products within their jurisdictions, regardless of whether these trades occur on an exchange. Retail investors could be exempt.
Steinbruck adds: "There is a clear-cut case for a global financial transaction tax: It would be just, would do no harm, and would do a lot of good. If there is a better idea for fair burden-sharing, let's hear it."
The reason for Treasury Secretary Geithner's skepticism (the tax, he has said, is not something the U.S. would support) has not been made clear, but could simply be evidence of the inveterate hostility of America's financial community (whence Geithner comes) to taxes in general, and a particular dread of the precedent of an international tax.
However, Larry Summers, director of the Obama White House's National Economic Council, has written in favor of a securities transaction tax. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown is for a tax. So is France's Nicolas Sarkozy.
The idea is not new. It was given renewed attention in 1971 by the economist James Tobin as a way to curb currency speculation, and was taken up by many, particularly on the left, as an all-but-painless way to generate development funds for poor nations. It has been advocated for many years by a private economic adviser, Carolyn Cleary, as a noninflationary way to generate for new uses the equivalent of the "Brady Bonds" of 1989, which restored sovereign debt liquidity in Latin America.
The conceiver of the idea was John Maynard Keynes, the author of neoclassical economic theory and the man who more or less invented the modern international economic structure at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944. Keynes suggested the transaction tax during the Great Depression as a means to supply needed liquidity. Like many of his other ideas, it is being resurrected amid the wreckage of monetarism and neoliberal capitalism that surrounds us today.

I have to point this out since it is missed by so many: the root cause of the recent financial crisis was real estate speculation, not stock market speculation. Home prices bubbled up as a result of Dr. Greenspans easy money and lack of credit underwriting standards. My neighbor is now BOA, because the former resident razed his old house to build a 5,500 sq ft monster he could not afford. He was unable to flip it, or pay for it…so back to the bank it goes. Equities got clobbered because of the mess in the credit markets, not the other way around (granted, the OTC markets DO need tighter regulation and there is corruption on Wall Street). People are losing their homes (and I am truly sorry for them) because they bought something they could not afford, not because of High Frequency Trading or equity day traders. It may not be politically correct to say so, but the people ultimately responsible for the mess our economy is in reside on main street, not wall street. And no, I do not work on Wall Street; I work on main street.

I wonder if the floor specialist will taxed too. If they are taxed, they cannot survive and the stock market cannot function. If they will be exempt, then the question is why? Day trader just provide the same function as the floor specialist.

Sorry to quibble, but Keynes is most definitely not a neoclassical. The role of "father", reviving classical liberal economic theory in the post-WWII period, was played by Hayek in the 1940s and Friedman in the 1950s. While certainly capitalist, Keynes departs from the neoclassicals in his emphasis on prudent government intervention in the economy, full employment and macroeconomic stability.

Your comment that Larry Summers is for the tax is simply not true. At one time, when serving in the Clinton administration, he supported it, but once he began working with the Obama administration, he came out against a Tobin Tax. Looks like you just lost any ounce of credibility you may have had, huh??? lol

The following procedures are performed using cardiac catheterization.
Angioplasty is the method used to repair a narrowed or blocked artery.
Percutaneous means that the procedure is done through the skin. Transluminal means that it is done inside the artery. Coronary means that it is an artery of the heart.
This treatment helps more blood flow through your coronary arteries.
Angioplasty is also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
Laser angioplasty opens narrowed heart arteries by using a laser catheter to transmit ultraviolet light to remove and vaporize the blockage.
A special catheter (tube) can be used to break up blood clots and vacuum (suction) to remove the clots from the artery of the heart or other blood vessels in the body.
A coronary stent helps more blood flow through your arteries. A stent is a small stainless steel mesh tube that is put on a balloon catheter.
The catheter is guided into place and the balloon is inflated.
The stent expands and stays inside the artery to support the walls and keep the artery open.
After about 4 weeks, your artery builds a coating of cells around the stent and it will feel like a normal artery wall to your body.
The stent will not set off airport alarms, but it is still important to carry the special card you were given that identifies your medical condition.
This stent has a medicine that is slowly released to help prevent scar tissue from building up and narrowing the artery.

Help your child read
by Frances Wardle, Ph. D, Directory Educator for Children's World
To foster an environment that promotes a child's desire to read:
1. Remember, the activity of spending time reading to your child is more important than what is read.
2. Try to develop a regular time every day when you read together. Each family should select the time that matches their schedule. Reading before bedtime is good for getting the child ready for bed.
3. Eliminate distractions (TV, radio, phone, etc.) when you read with your child.
4. Find a comfortable place to read: a couch, easy chair, bed, or bean bag chair.
5. Help your child select the book he/she wants to read.
6. Provide your children with a variety of books that interest them.
7. Use the book you are reading to branch out into all sorts of conversation with your child
8. Children too young to speak love to be read to; older children who know how to read by themselves also love to be read to. Let younger children participate in the reading by turning pages, saying words, lifting flaps, and asking questions.
9. Take books with you to read at places where you may have to wait, like doctors' offices, car repair places, or while riding in the car (if another adult is driving).
10. Keep books handy and stored in a way that the child can easily find the book he/she wants to read.

This is the 1st time I've watched Julia skate. I was impressed. Her performance of Schindler's List reminded me of Michele's Salome, as in seeing the development of artistry in the performance. By the end of the season, Michele won her 1st World's at the age of 15 1/2.
If Julia develops her artistry further before the Olympics and medal contenders falter, she could be in the mix for a medal IMHO.
She impressed me more thank Oksana Bauil at the same age.
As others have mentioned, I think her future in skating will be highly dependent on the development of her figure. Just as Oksana experienced problems as her figure developed, Julia may or may not have a similar issue. So, if she does continue to skate after Sochi, we'll have to wait and see what she looks like next year.
No.... People around her will be closely watching her diet, at least until the end of the season. Also it's quite possible that she's already done with the major part of growing. She doesn't have that child face anymore. She's still small, but not tiny, being almost as tall as Suzuki.
I feel that she will be competitive at the Olympics, as the girl seems unflappable. I'm not sure about past-Sochi though, as she will fill out inevitably and those small jumps might prevent her from becoming a dominant lady.
I think Gracie Gold too will do well at Sochi. She often looks coltish, but seems like a motivated learner. She would be able to improve her LP consistency, if she drop that penchee move into the second lutz.
Alot of you forget Julia already went through her major growth spurt. That was all of last season, and she noticeably struggled as a result. She has barely grown any since the end of last season which indicates she is probably either done or almost done growing. The hardest part is already over and she has already passed. She can now focus on improving as a skater.
I hate the way skating is going, and this girl is the example of all things wrong in this system.

It's been said that WrestleMania 29 is shaping up to be one of the most predictable WrestleManias in recent memory, if not of all time.
When you look at the pay-per-view's card, especially its top matches, it's really not hard to see why.
While WrestleMania 29 packs a ton of star power and is going to make the WWE a boatload of money, many of us can agree that the show reeks of predictability.
Barring some major and/or minor surprises, it's going to be rather easy to predict the outcomes of most of the matches and even what major moments may occur on the show. But just what are these things that we can plan on seeing this Sunday?
Here are seven things you should expect to see at WrestleMania 29.

Splitter starting again vs. OKC, Duncan pairing works
Saturday night's win against the Boston Celtics marked just the fourth time in his career that Tiago Splitter started alongside Tim Duncan for the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Gregg Popovich said after today's shootaround that Splitter would again start next to Duncan when the Spurs play the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight (well, I'm assuming Duncan will start).
The Spurs, incidentally, have a 4-0 record when Splitter and Duncan start together. The three previous times all came in games against the Los Angeles Lakers over the last two seasons and change.
Splitter spent most of his career as Tim Duncan's backup and often only started in games Duncan didn't play. Because of Splitter's inability to stretch the floor with any shooting outside of five feet, there was a real concern that Splitter and Duncan couldn't play alongside each other. That's why we saw Splitter backing up Duncan and Matt Bonner or Boris Diaw splitting time alongside the Spurs "centers."
But with the way he's playing this season, Splitter has earned the right to start for the Spurs. His season averages this year are in line with the numbers he put up last season, but per game and per 36 minutes, but his turnover percentage is down and his win shares per 48 minutes is .232 (the league average is .100). Through 25 games this season, Splitter has 2.4 win shares. In 59 games last year Splitter totaled 4.6 win shares (he's on pace for 5.9 this season). For comparison's sake, Tim Duncan had 5.9 win shares for the Spurs last season.
From a team perspective, Duncan and Splitter have played together for about 113 minutes this season in various lineups. It's not a huge sample size, but it's what we've got. Offensively, the Spurs have an offensive rating of 112.9 when those two are on the floor together, which is higher than the team's 106.6 offensive rating (106.6 points per 100 possessions) in all lineups this season. The Spurs also have a much higher assist to turnover ratio when Duncan and Splitter are on the floor together, going from 1.66 assists to TOs to 2.31.
Defensively, Duncan/Splitter lineups are putting up a 97.2 defensive rating (97.2 points allowed per 100 possessions). San Antonio has a 98.6 DefRtg on the season. It's many fans' hope that lineups featuring the 6'11" pair of Tiago Splitter and Tim Duncan can play the same offensive game the Spurs want to while being better suited to defending teams like the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers. The numbers aren't doing anything to refute that at this point.
The numbers look good when Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter take the floor together this season, although Duncan is a major reason for that. We've gone over the season the Big Fundamental is having, there aren't many lineups and stats out there that will show reflect poorly on Duncan. This is mainly to show that the idea that Duncan and Splitter can't play together looks like a false one. How the bench responds to Splitter's ascension to the starting lineup and what the big man rotation evolves into is what to keep in mind from here.

TUPELO – Wilma Roberts had to run into a ditch to avoid being hit by an oncoming motorist head-on.
"Luckily the lady pulled over to check on me," remembered Roberts of the early morning accident. "I was mad, but felt better to see her stop."
But this wasn't a typical accident.
"Then she told me her dog had been riding in her lap and had gotten on the steering wheel and I was mad, scared and just worried," Roberts said. "There has to be a law against that. That's just dangerous."
Roberts said that since her accident this past weekend, she's noticed more and more people riding with dogs in their laps and feels it's only a matter of time before someone is killed because of it.
Tupelo Police Maj. Jackie Clayton said he doesn't see people riding with pets in their laps all that often.
"I strongly suggest people don't ride with their pets in their laps," Clayton said. "Anything that takes attention away from driving should not be done whether its texting, talking on a cell phone or tending to a pet. There is a lot that can go wrong in that situation. The animal can jump on the steering wheel or try to jump out of the window. If that happens your concentration will be on saving the animal and not on the road."
According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, driver distraction contributes to 20 to 30 percent of all motor vehicle crashes, about 1.2 million per year. In a recent AAA study, pets and loose objects were rated as being the third worst driver distraction (first being radio and second being children).
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said he's seen several accidents involving people driving with pets.
"I have definitely seen accidents where in vehicles pets were to blame," said Johnson. "That's why they have carriers for animals. They don't have to be your lap to cause problems. Just having a pet running around in the car can be a danger to the driver, the pet and other motorists. That animal is no different than a child in your lap. You would not ride down the road with a baby in your lap so why would you with a pet."
Debbie Hood, director of the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society, said having a pet in your lap while driving is a danger for everyone, including the pet. Pets can be injured by air bags or thrown through the windshield during an accident.
Even though there is no legislation pertaining to pets in vehicles, Johnson said if more accidents are being reported because of in vehicle pets, he can see some laws written to prohibit it.
Some states have laws saying dogs must have seat belts while riding in vehicles.
Roberts, a pet owner herself, said she has nothing against a person riding with their pets in the car but feels riding with them in your lap is a disaster waiting to happen.
"All I say is that had I not ran in that ditch I would have been seriously hurt," she said. "And you can't justify wanting to ride with your pet on your lap if someone dies from it."

...going from a jesus to a god and then to a co-creator spirit within in this ascension process....i have grown within since the thread started so please bare with me..777=7.77 food pH level in the body...so if you want to be a god/creator in your temple and your kingdom>...first you must become a "jesus" in your temple/body and kingdom/mind with the keys...the first key is die-t<see the cross and the word die...and the second key is manna which is potassium iodide KI crystals<it looks like white colander seed as the codebook describes it...the diet and manna is to flush out all unnatural foods/drinks we have stored since birth because our kingdom/pineal gland and other 7 parts of your brain and temple/body, stores it instead of burns it or passes it out...eat what the codebook tells us to put into our body/temple and taking our manna and in about 6-8 months to clean our temple and kingdom out to be the jesus,but we continue the manna and diet... we will be god/creator spirit in our temple and kingdom with the 3rd key of positive attitude/thinking and remembering we are spirit within
...Romans 8:14>we all can be a jesus... sulfur based microscopic parasites live in mud critters>cattle,pigs,catfish,founder,etc. and is the hell referred to by "jesus" because cooking doesn't kill them(worms)..."their worm does not die and the flame is not quenched" is said of people in hell...and today's grocery store meat is also packed full of chemicals...only ocean fish doesn't have chemicals added and the jesus symbol is the fish with scales,but not bottom dwelling fish in the die-t
...this is how i because a "jesus" then a "god" in my own temple and kingdom and then a co-creator as i remembered i/we are spirit within that created the religious concepts...die-t and manna will get you to jesus state,then maintaining the 2 keys with the 3rd key will get you to a godlike state in your temple and your kingdom and then into our co-creator spirit within state...these keys i/we give to everyone....the bible is also metaphors of our ego traits freewill,humility,pride,desire and vanity to hang upon our cross and die to as humility at the head of the cross cry's out for the creator...pride and vanity are nailed together at the feet as free will and desire are nailed at the hands...the statute of liberty has 7 points in it crown because of the 2 sides of the brain,pineal gland,pituitary gland,thalamus,cerebellum and medulla...the torch symbolizes the pineal gland lit like a burning flame... the 8th brain part that all together form the divine feminine...and the bible is also about our 6 senses..
PS as "gods" code book gave us the diet and manna ,we must supply the other 3 keys of an open mind ,an open heart and positive thinking/attitude to produce the 5 pointed star of venus the morning star to rise in our hearts..after maintaining that, the 6 pointed star of 3 points above and 3 points below will be given making us a co-creator in our temple and kingdom...(((here's an recent edit ,the longer i have used the keys i remembered we are all co-creators with the same shared spirit and our spirit existed before the creation making us co-creators instead of gods,goddesses,saviors or prophets,

Sam Warburton finally knows who will be employing him next season and how much he can expect to earn after signing a central contract with the Welsh Rugby Union – the kind of contract rejected by two of his fellow Red Dragon titans, the full-back Leigh Halfpenny and the lock Alun Wyn Jones, in favour of alternative deals with Toulon and Ospreys respectively. What Warburton does not know is how many top-level club games he will play if the sport's alleged "leaders" fail to break the impasse over the future of the Heineken Cup.

How many will be in a condition to train before the middle of next week at the earliest? Not as many as the head coach, Stuart Lancaster, would like, almost certainly.

I can't speak for what he's thinking, but I can say that he has some serious issues.

Tread cautiously.
either he's afraid, or he got what he was after from you is what it boils down too. Only you can tell his motives because only you know him. Any assumptions at this point are void due to lack of information
He probably does care but his shame probably outweighs the care
Don't expect him to ever be any different
He must have regretted having sex with you. That's what happened to one of my girlfriends when she had sex her boyfriend became unresponsive after their first time.
he's just afraid he hurt you is all... he may be a bit concerned about it but it doesn't mean he cares for you personally
