Greece and Their Spending

Posted on June 30, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that when governments get into predicaments like Greece they are acting very much like alcoholics. They display the same behaviors and attitudes. The descent path is even similar. It’s funny how macro economic phenomenon … Continue reading →

Causality

Posted on May 22, 2011 by john
