    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    Everything always goes up year after year.  It is a underlying principle of Keynesian theory.  Us in the private sector use capitalism,  this does not hold true for government.  Our leaders have the luxury of using Keynesian theory for their end of the economic spectrum.  It is a saving grace...

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    With the food prices listed above, I'm going to assume you guys did not take notice to the severe drought in the United states which destroyed all kinds of crops and virtually bankrupted many farms in one season this year. It wasn't inflation that drove those prices up, it was the weather.

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    Regarding trading metals back in the day. There was still inflation,  there was never enough money to go around, the bankers at the time issued paper I.O.U's effectively devaluing the money.  It was called fractional banking, there was never enough supply to go around pre-1913? Whenever the...

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    I should just throw this out there.  All countries print money.  Always have. Get a mortgage? Swipe a credit card? Car loan?  Student loan?  It is all printing money and inflation of the currency, only difference is now people are taking notice.  It's like GST, PST and HST.  PST/GST was always...

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    I'm not looking to debate you on any of these examples, I think you bring up some good points.  But can you show how reforming the tax code will fix the present problems?  It's a very good point.  The problem of inflation is actually not so much the Big Banks for this, with cheap money.  There...

    There is no other course open, for anyone really.  We are all to far into debt. the more I learn about this recession, the more I'm blaming Keynesian policy and debt levels gone out of control.  While it stinks for the little countries, They can take all the defensive measures they want.  They...

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    A several posts back a few days ago you may have noticed, when I looked at the numbers since the recession began, the vast majority of money printed, spent, created etc. had went into stabilizing bank accounts, corporation holdings and reducing debt, very little has went into circulation for the...

    Making my application more attractive to recruiters

    If you read the forces website you will see that there is no civilian equivalent.  I believe the wording is "this job is uniquely military"  Infantry is actually the easiest trade to get into from a educational point of view everyone who passes the CFAT qualifies, it is also likely one of the...

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    Yes this is true.  The Politicians and central banks in America and Canada as well have done their job and made the money available.  The issue is as you say is the faith side of the value of money.  It's public faith that you will wake up tomorrow go to work and have a paycheck that allows you...

    GERD - hearburn ppi prescription? pass or fail?

    Thanks BearPaw: I just read about D-lemonene for GERD.  It is listed on some government medical websites a google with the two keywords will turn up some .gov sites.  It should be legit since governments don't generally get involved in unproven natural remedies.  For example Canada doesn't even...

    US Economy

    Just some quick math to show how awful solar energy is.  I've converted a litre of gasoline into btu and then into electrical watts for comparison.  Assume you have one 100 watt solar panel and are receiving 15% efficiency over 24 hour period.  You'll receive 360 watts a day from the panel.  1...

    They have to keep drilling.  Oil unlike solar is a very limited source.  One day it will be all gone.  A few hundred years from now there will not be a drop left.  Presently the only true abundant long term fuel source is Uranium.  I don't have the numbers off hand, apparently we are good for...

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    I do agree with this statement in the article "Ineffective governments with weak leadership are at the root of the problem", I'm not a big fan of what I just read.  A lot of lingo was used instead of factual information.  As in "Monetary hawks, bailout resources, game changer"  I felt it was...

    You guys are speaking as if we came out of recession? Our growth versus inflation numbers are almost the same, that took 4 years just to stabilize.  I've had my business since 2006 I can honestly tell you I do not make the money I was earning 5 years ago.  My bills have gone up, and my income...
