800 million liters - so much oil has flowed, according to official estimates, since the sinking of the oil rig Deepwater Horizon "in the Gulf of Mexico. BP has now closed claims to the oil leak on the seabed. Promptly announced the U.S. government, citing its own experts, 75 percent of the oil would flow out already gone, would have virtually dissolved. Just like that. (1)
14.6 million - this is currently the official number of unemployed in the United States. This represents an unemployment rate of 9.5 percent. (2)
40.8 million - that is the current number of Americans who are on food stamps by the U.S. government, specifically the Ministry of Agriculture, instructed. Requirement for the need: unemployment. (3)
26.6 percent - that would be the equivalent of the current U.S. unemployment rate when the number was 40.8 million recipients of food stamps is the "true" number of unemployed.
403 - this is the current number of U.S. billionaires. In no country in the world there are more billionaires. (4)
40 - the current number of U.S. billionaires who have the initiative by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet even offered their services is to donate at least half of their assets for social and charitable purposes. (5)
This is the American reality. She has two faces. This is America, the land of opportunity - for part of the Americans. This is America, the land that is crashed into the wall - at the expense of the rest and to the detriment of the whole.
This is not the reality that we Government and the media pretend to join forces and get the stock and commodity prices continue to cheer banks, stock brokers and investors can.
other hand: Does it look when viewed in somewhere else really that much better? In Japan, where the yen is rising, despite more threatening-exclusive economic situation with declining production, declining export growth (6) , continuous fall in prices, high unemployment and a disastrous financial situation with a debt of close to 200 percent of gross domestic product? (7) Or in China - with its real estate bubble (8) , according to official data loans at risk of failure in a volume of 171 billion €, while Standard & Poor's expects the next few years even with the loss of credit in the amount of up to 300 billion €? (9) China, with its million-strong army of unemployed migrant workers and threatening social conflicts smoldering in his region?
And if that is not the case, then why break into singing and media professionals from storms over the seemingly grandiose German economic and political crisis over the German, the very dependence on export-coined "success"? And also: How much of the current success of the German economy due to one-off effects of government stimulus injection, how much of the weakness of the controversial USA tottering giant, which Germany currently does as a destination for investors and investors seem so attractive - not least those from the Gulf States?
40.8 million Americans are likely to date to be totally convinced of it, that that claim in recent years and currently relevant politicians, economists and central bankers of the country of the (people) understand economy or at least very much less than they do.
In other words: 40.8 million beneficiaries of food stamps - that's the price for disguising of incompetence and ignorance, for a parallel world of liberal economics and Keynesian-cal economists who knows to explain and resolve the problems contributing nothing.
For bank rescue and stimulus packages have can not help it. The economic and employment situation remains delicate. They will not do anything about it because they do not attach to the causes. The many do not want to see and call instead for still more government assistance. Of draconian austerity packages, required by liberal representatives can not alter the underlying problems nothing - that do not believe those in favor.
Change will do, unfortunately, nor is the generous donations pledged so far 40 U.S. billionaires. If everything goes on as before, then the assets that they want to donate for social and charitable purposes, in the end end up with them again. Exactly as before.
Europe and especially the Germans are better off.
How long? There
For similar problems, it also here - not least due to the often standard practice, all that is made in the USA to copy. And just as in the U.S., they are more or less successful in hiding behind a facade. Added to the extremely sensitive dependence comes from exports. The current strength of the German states, moreover, at least in part from the weakness of others. break
a reason this country in jubilation about the seemingly grandiose economic and political crisis, there is not so. The crisis is not over yet met, it was. It speaks for sober reflection, the evidence suggests that with the billions that have been for the rescue of banks and for the world Kunjunkturankurbelung spent, just a flash fire could be kindled. A straw-fire, which currently may only Nowhere else is burning as bright as ours, but goes out in the foreseeable future. This possibility has to take into account and also the experience gained from the crisis that it may at any time very soon come to a dramatic order-spirited and crash. At least the market players see this is why the stock markets remain shaky.
