without this decending into party politics this is a good watch. there has been a lot of debate in australia about the size, pros, cons and function of the stimulus package. the 4 corners doco "overdose" take a look at the gfc and discusses what the real experts think of the use and size of the stimulus packages. although written about america you will notice that it applies to australia.

it's from 4 corners.

My own personal opinion, for what it is worth, is that the movers and shakers will resort to the age old solution, war.

Great doco, thanks. Am a big fan of Gerald Celente.

What do you mean "will"?

history would probably suggest that a good war can fix any recession. i'm not sure if one will happen this time. i guess the are a few places one could start but i think we've moved on for now.

might take a few more generations until everyone has forgotten how distructive they are.

I watched it. Like a good citizen, I'm becoming quite amune to all the scare campaigns and end of the world scenarios that hit us on the tv most nights - global warming, ebola, sarrs, gfc, bird flu, diet coke addiction, etc.... but it did make sense - they always do.

Will I live my life differently? - probably not. Just another show on tv to talk about.
