April 3rd... on this day
File:Marshall Plan poster.JPG





Marshal Plan: put into place in post war Europe to rebuild the devistated continent and repell communism. 13 Billion dollars was given to rebuild the continent during a 4 year span...lets compare this to the numbers in america today.....700 Billion Dollar Bailout for the american economy, after the governments initial failed bailout attempt...anyways 


13 BILLION DOLLARS WAS SPENT TO REPAIR DAMAGES AFTER WORLD WAR TWO ( THE BIGGEST WAR EVER ON EARTH)

13 BILLION DOLLARS IN 1948 WOULD BE WORTH 110 BILLION DOLLARS TODAY AFTER INFLATION....

THIS MEANS WE ARE SPENDING 17 TIMES AS MUCH TO FIX "THE FINANCIAL CRISIS" AS WE SPENT TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES OF WORLD WAR TWO IN EUROPE..
...THIS DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME,
WHAT WAS THE FINANCIAL CRISIS
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SOME SUPER ECONOMY NOW OR IS INFLATION GOING TO GO THROUGH THE ROOF....WHAT ARE WE GOING TO SEE BECAUSE OF THE 2 TRILLION DOLLARS THAT IS BEING INJECTED INTO THIS WORLDS ECONOMY?? DONT ASK ME... HOPEFULLY WE ARE GOING TO SEE EQUALITY, PEACE, INOVATION, SPACE TRAVEL, HAPPINESS, FAIR GLOBAL TRADE, RECOGNIZE UNITY NOW

The agreements we have reached today, to treble resources available to the IMF to $750 billion, to support a new SDR allocation of $250 billion, to support at least $100 billion of additional lending by the MDBs, to ensure $250 billion of support for trade finance, and to use the additional resources from agreed IMF gold sales for concessional finance for the poorest countries, constitute an additional $1.1 trillion programme of support to restore credit, growth and jobs in the world economy. Together with the measures we have each taken nationally, this constitutes a global plan for recovery on an unprecedented scale.


Hopefully all of the nations on earth benifit from this, if we use these stimuli correctly we will be able to come out of this as a nation of happiness, this means that everyone should be able to have a roof over thier head and food in their stomachs....if we as humans can provide that we are doing an amazing thing and look how far we have come in the past 100years WWII actually had a purpose and if we institue this stimulus package that can stimulate global trade as Adam Smith says everyone will be better off, imagine if we could be waking up to a cup of fair traded coffee from Burkina Faso, enjoying the worlds finest honey from Djibuti... I have friends in my class that tell me African Soil is the most fertile on Earth... Interessting. If land is cheap in Africa because of its isolation, it is the most fertile on earth and the earth is becomming insanely accesable then wouldnt purchasing farm land in Africa to...maybe even start a winery there,, wat about a fair trade fair employer company that ....on the other hand..what about inflation

This was the most 

Believe you can and your half way there -Teddy Roosevelt

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity -John Davidson Rockefeller (founder of standard oil etc..)



MY SOLUTION

THE FIFTY BILLION FUND...........A COILITION OF OUR WORLDS BRIGHTEST MINDS COLLABORATING TOGETHER, TRACKED THROUGH AN INTERACTIVE WEBSITE GOING FROM WELCOMING COUNTRY TO WELCOMING COUNTRY IN AFRICA AND DISTRIBUTES A PORTION OF A 50 BILLION DOLLAR FUND (FUNDED BY THE IMF) TO ENSURE THAT EVERY PERSON IN THAT NATION WILL BE ABLE TO EAT AND  HAVE A PLACE TO SLEEP, TO ENSURE THIS EACH NATIONS GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO BE CLEANED UP...THIS IS WHY IT WILL BE CHALLENGING, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE..PEOPLE Want  THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN/ country AND PEACE UNDER THE GLOBAL MICROSCOPE WILL CRUSH ANY SORT OF ARMY RESISTANCE, THE DICTATORS AND ARMYS CAN NOT OFFER ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT THE 50 BILLION FUND TEAM CAN..WE BRING FREEDOM AND PEACE....IF ONLY BARRACK COULD READ THIS...



2 things to google

A New Day



You heard it hear first... this is going to be a HUGE week in the markets...I think ford and GM will both end the week around the 4 Dollar mark...just remember you heard it hear first!!! haha anyways now that that is off my chest, we went over to our neighbors places last night did a Madrona Village Crawl to Dans place and also to Ians place it was an awsome night!!!! Right now Leah is making energy bars and we are listing to van morrison moondance album song crazy love...on vinal here is the picture of the record player right now(see picture above) and yeah it is going really well out on the west coast on this sleepy sunday afternoon. I miss everyone back home. At the same time i know that this life is a gift and time here is short. I have been doing alot of research today and over the past 4 years of my life on the history of Judea around the time of Christ. It is unbelievaly terrible ....Herod ordering the death of all Children under 2 years old, Herods son (Herod)and Pontius Pilate not knowing what to do with Jesus. Jesus said to Pilate when Pilate asked him what his purpose was....He said that he "came into the world ... to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice"  Amazing stuff. When you think about it God made this world and there is a real purpose to us being here. THat purpose is LOVE. amoung other good deeds/tasks/vitures. Here is a very interesstin pic.. with that i will leave it for the day.. Have a great one!
