Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz:

Obama Has Confused Saving the Banks with Saving the Bankers
We get reaction to President Obama’s speech from Nobel economics laureate 
and former World Bank chief economist, Joseph Stiglitz. Stiglitz says the 
Obama administration has failed to address the structural and regulatory 
flaws at the heart of the financial crisis that stand in the way of economic 
recovery.

Stiglitz also talks about why he thinks Obama’s strategy on Afghanistan is 
wrong and that Obama’s plan to keep a “residual force” in Iraq will be “very 
expensive.”

On health care, Stiglitz says a single-payer system is “the only 
alternative.”

PS NATO & the USA really need to get out of Afghanistan asap, and allow 
Karzi and the UN to work towards a negotiated peace Settlement which 
includes the Taliban group.

There is NO alternative - of it will just be getting worse and will 
completely bring down Pakistan, and the USA itself. It's time for a NEW way 
of doing business in the world for the old ways are Dead and no longer work. 
basically it is a time of Change - or face the consequences repaeting the 
the mistakes of the past and being inside a WW3 within 2-3 years.

Haven't Amercians had enough of being conned already?

Cheers Sean

Mindlessly silly with the US.
