You don't have any cows. You claim that the Indian cows belong to you. You ask the US for financial aid, China for military aid, British for Warplanes, Italy for machines, Germany for technology, French for submarines, Switzerland for loans, Russia for drugs Japan for equipment. You buy the cows with all this and claim exploitation by the world.

AMERICAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows. You sell one and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You profess surprise when the cow drops dead. You put the blame on some nation with cows & naturally that nation will be a danger to mankind. You wage a war to save the world and grab the cows.

Australian Economics

You had two cows.  You sold the cows for $20, and rent them back for $2 per year.  Then you claim that you made $18 surplus that year and congradulates yourself.   :) :) :)

Q: How has French Revolution affected world economic growth? A: Too early to say.


Q: Why did God create economists? A: In order to make weather forecasters look good.


A party of economists was climbing in the Alps. After several hours they became hopelessly lost. One of them studied the map for some time, turning it up and down, sighting on distant landmarks, consulting his compass, and finally the sun.Finally he said, ‘OK see that big mountain over there?”Yes’, answered the others eagerly.’Well, according to the map, we’re standing on top of it.’

Economics of the modern age for dummies:

money = debt = thin air = money

money = debt = thin air = money = confidence yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy growth yayyyyyyyyyyyyy!
->>go the stockmarketed foreign invested governments of the 'liberal' world

what is an external cost?  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

a cost benefit analysis is called for... diminishing returns is a concept that lasts forever... ooops  :-[

Australian Economics

You have two cows. Compared to the cows in other Western and developed countries (which were hit badly by the global financial crisis), they are fat and well fed but you are not satisfied. You go to an auction and get a home loan to buy that dream home for you and your cows. You send your cows to private school hoping that when they grow up, they'll be rich. You buy a car, laptop, tablet, smartphone and television set for every single family member. You go into debt to sustain this lifestyle and keep up with the Jones's. You complain about all the taxes you have to pay and how so much of your income goes into social security and health care. You grow old with few savings and very little in your superannuation fund. Your cows try to live the same lifestyle you did and as a result, they can't support you in your old age. You find yourself so financially helpless you need to apply for a pension from CentreLink. You are glad people pay their taxes. :D The cycle repeats itself.

I don't think it is political.

Had it been left wing they would have kept the cows and right wing they would have rented the cows back for $22 ?
