The Global Plutocrats have gotten too big for their britches. They need the governments more than the governments ever needed them.
The global governments did not cause the problems faced in today's economies. We need to remember whom EXACTLY caused this disaster in the first place and it wasn't any government that did. It was unregulated and out of control private sectors that turned homes into commodities.
One has to realize the 'so called' power thee Plutocratic Organizations believe they have. They wanted and may have downgraded New Zealand's financial structure because of earthquakes. I believe Japan is receiving the same 'once over.' This is hideous unless the Plutocrats live in "Cloud City."
LONDON |
(Reuters) - German government bonds (click title to entry - thank you) rallied on Wednesday and were likely to remain supported as French and German plans for closer fiscal integration in the euro zone did little to soothe concerns that the regional debt crisis could still spread.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel unveiled plans for economic governance, seen as essential first steps to the eventual fiscal integration within the single currency area many in markets say is needed.
But the meeting revealed no concrete measures to tackle the region's immediate concern: funding for weaker euro zone states.
"Investors are a bit disappointed…
Gee, what a shame they are disappointed. Wow. No free money for Wall Street today. I guess they’ll actually have to stop sitting on gold and actually invest in expanding economic growth and INVESTING their money instead of counting it. Oh. My. God. They might loss a dollar or two to make a buck in a decade.

Acting Energy Minister Hekia Parata said a report from the Ministry of Economic Development showed that last year 74 per cent of New Zealand's electricity came from renewable sources.
Greenhouse gas emissions declined 11 per cent on the previous year.

It would seem as though New Zealand and its citizens are thriving and achieving goals anyway. And Wall Street should be grateful for that unless they want to sit on top of gold bars forever that will stagnate over time anyway. Since when are sovereign countries less important than Plutocrats? Since the USA Republicans sold their souls? I don't think so.NZ apples cleared for importation into Australia (click here)

The way has been cleared for the importation of New Zealand apples to Australia after 90 years of waiting.
Australia today gave the green light for accepting New Zealand apples although growers will have limits placed on them to prevent the spread of diseases such as fire blight and European canker.
Only commercially-mature fruit will be allowed to be imported, under guidelines proposed by the Australian director of Animal and Plant Quarantine.
Fruit will need to be washed by high-pressure water spraying and brushed in the packing house to remove surface contamination of pests and trash such as leaf litter.
The import conditions require that NZ growers be registered to export to Australia and apply in-orchard controls for fire blight, European canker and apple leaf curling midge, including ongoing targeted monitoring, spraying and pruning…
