ParticipantI’m not sure how you reconcile “temporary national ownership” and “nationalize”, but it would a pretty safe place to put your money if it’s government backed. My understanding is that Northern Rock was lending out three times what it had in reserves, which is just under three times the national average. Levels of debt in the UK are said to be higher than the US, incomes are usually lower, house prices are very high, and lending practices somewhat lax. The UK, Ireland and Spain are all in for a rude awakening.

ParticipantKewp, there was an interesting article in the NY Times about exporting education, and the figures are big. I’d want to be careful in which country I set up my University though. Warren Buffet was asked what tips he’d give young entrepreneurs, and one of them was don’t use credit cards. The trouble with selling dollars and buying others currencies or assets is that the dollar is already weak. I like the idea of under-consumption, but it needs a more marketable title, something like the value-sum-game, a kind of trend-setting fad to occupy the mind during those long evenings when you sacrifice cable TV. The only thing I couldn’t do is ‘drink water only’. Got to have that mandatory glass (or two) of wine.

ParticipantI haven’t heard any news analysis that has put their finger on it. I think it’s not so much that Obama isn’t reaching these groups, but more that Clinton has deliberately targeted them, at least the Hispanics. Asians who vote Democrat may be more conservative in their outlook, and Clinton appeals to those core democratic values. The racial/gender card is also an obvious factor in this.
