New goverment is about to be formed,but one of the parties that was going to support in parliement,is not happy.

They have seen the goverment agreement,between the two parties , the Sicial democratic alliance and the Left Green Movement,and the party ,( framsoknarflokkurinn ) the old farmers party ( dont know their name in engish, is coming in with demands ,for changes in the agreemnet.

And the goverment that was before – has gone,quit,so ,technically,Iceland has no goverment this weekend.

America signed up to commit 0.7% of GDP to Foreign Aid. The Global Poverty Bill would require the President to meet that commitment (this commitment was ratified by George Bush as well as Bill Clinton).

0.7% of American GDP amounts to $9.6 billion, based on the US having a GDP of $13.84 trillion.

Strange, too. If this were going on in Canada, I think the press would be all over it.

Interesting that the French are furious about bank-bailouts and perks to the finance industry while the average workers are kicked to the curb.

Sounds familiar, hmmmm?

Sorry, I might agree with you that Americans don’t protest enough over the injustices against them, but to say American’s just whine and hustle is bullshit. Many Americans are hard working and place working for their families as a top priority.

When I got that “stimulus” check last year, I sent it back and will refuse to take another one. I could really have used it, and could us it this time, but I don’t take money from the government less I endorse its methods and spending.

Your sweep about Americans is myopic and overgeneralized. Sensational examples about Americans come across the news, but they don’t become the rule.

And for those who don’t know, Iceland now has the first openly gay leader, Johanna Sigurdardottir.

I was commenting on the lack of critical thinking in the global population.

I did not rant on about 0′s vast LACK of experience in anything remotely resembling economics. His experience is ah, hum, ah, ah ah ah ah ah — change subject.

Culturally 0 is a rich white guy who has a deep tan.

Apparently the f**king media hyped this empty suit world wide. And I thought that only the dodo heads in the US were plugged into the TV nipple for their constant information.

THINKING — Critical thinking — healthy skepticism is somehow missing in a huge segment of the populations of many countries????

0 has trouble telling the difference between a WINDOW in the white house and a DOOR — and suckers around the world think that 0zero even is concerned about THEM??? Hell they are under the bus with all the rest of the world’s population who are NOT members of 0′s exclusive club (the guys who put up millions and millions for CONTROL of a dumb ass nitwit).

These frat boys (GWB & 0) have a talent for fooling people.

But I began hearing a sudden, perceptible change of mood and urgency during the Ukraine gas crisis.

The way they put it, things are not yet bad….but they are keenly aware it is coming.

These are folks obsessed with inflation, and what it can foster.

I’ve also learned that a sense of security is key to their thinking. Whereas, we might tolerate, even covertly welcome a bit of controlled chaos at various points in our history to blow out the cobwebs, they simply cannot stand the instability.

I honestly do not know what to say to them, as an American. I have zero confidence in Obama’s ability to preside over the imminent commercial real estate meltdown, and likely subsequent financial collapse.

Oh, and socialism doesn’t work.
