- RT @DigitalElection: @johnrutledge – look at the Dry Ships Index chart: http://www.dryships.com/pages/report.asp – that sums up world trade. #
- @DigitalElection Good point. Baltic index does good job tracking trade in ‘heavy stuff’, not so good at light goods, services. But important in reply to DigitalElection #
- Obama has pressed China to keep appreciating the yuan. Very dumb. If they did so they would buy no US bonds. Can’t have it both ways, O. #
- US buys more Chinese exports than any other nation & China holds more U.S. government bonds than any other country. We must work together. #
- 2009 Global GDP drop, 1st decline since WWII. (In spite of China & India growing 5-6%) Trade at lowest point in 80 years. #

- @trishak09 Thanks, Trisha. Maybe if enough of us sign it we can restore some sanity to govt. John in reply to trishak09 #
- @Lboogie13 Have seen alot of companies (United Airlines for ex.) go through Ch 11 bankruptcy and end up much stronger with more employees in reply to Lboogie13 #
- @Lboogie13 I don’t know about others, but by bankruptcy I mean Chapter 11 protection from creditors to give the co enough breathing room. in reply to Lboogie13 #
- @Lboogie13 @Lboogie13 Great idea! If every business did that the economy would be way bigger. John in reply to Lboogie13 #
