Predictions for the near future, well, I think the financial institutions are going to do it again, find some way to screw up and there receive more hand outs. They have been given a soft landing from tax payers funds in order to get back on track, could they be thinking they would get it again, me thinks so. So an idea might be for customers to sneak their funds out, spread it thinly amongst other institutions, or keep it at home, so they don't lose come the next crash. The financial institutions have shown themselves not to be trusted. Iraq and Afghanistan are coming to a close due to increased public concern which is not good for politics, but hey, war is profitable, just look at all those companies that make this that and the other killing implement and support implement. A war is business, business stimulates the economy, life is cheap and people can be conned with ideas about patriotism to go and fight a failed political argument on foreign shores. I predict another war, with whom, well, take your pick, where has threatening words been directed in the world, but perhaps more cynically, who has oil and packs less political clout in the world. Oh yes, and we the electorate will continue to be kept in the dark about the machinations of power as we always have been.
