Really? One of the forbes links says this:

  based on credit default swap spreads there is a 3.1% 
  chance of a U.S. default in the next five years, 
  according to CMA, a London credit information specialist

That's pretty bad. Also, I didn't notice any contradictions. Maybe your hyperbolic remarks are true. Maybe Corporations are greedy -- they do have a fiduciary responsibility to increase shareholder wealth. Maybe Globalism is bad -- think global act local right? Globalization is the opposite of that! Also, I think the article said it was pretty much the leaders fault, what with a pic of GWB on one of the pages, or did you read that one?

it seems pretty plain that it's the investment equivalent of a supermarket tabloid

Is that ad hominem? Which statements the article includes aren't true?




There's a reason I qualified and contextualized my opinion. I did not allege falsehood but rather complained of shallow and incoherent presentation.
