ネット情報のほうが新聞や雑誌より絶対刺激が強い。

日本病の正体～政治家石井紘基の見た風（動画47分）を見た。特別会計が年３３０兆円だというのは知らなかった。族議員と官僚が特殊法人に、特殊法人からグループ企業に流す。会計検査院の検査はグループ企業まで及ばない。利権だ。公共投資で地方が潤うのは日本型の資源再分配だという議論がある。しかし、それは違う。国民の目の届かないところで金がばら撒かれる。腐敗の温床。キーワードは特殊法人だ。

また、Monopoly Men-Federal Reserve Fraud（動画47分）を見た。陰謀論はともかくとして、ＦＲＢに問題があることは間違いない。ロン・ポールが当選するとは思えないが、問題の所在が公になるのはいいことだと思う。

ところで、最近、好奇心に駆られて、陰謀論やロン･ポールのビデオを見たり、米国大統領選挙情報やサブプライムローン絡みの米ドル危機や原油価格高騰のニュースを追いかけたりすることが増えた。おかげで英語力が復活してきた気がする。また、ＴＯＥＩＣでも受けてみてもいいかなと思ったりして。

Russian economy outstrips U.S. mortgage crisis and declining dollar

27.12.2007 Source: Pravda.Ru

The outgoing year was a troublesome and even an extreme period for the global economy. Economic shocks that occurred during the year 2007 -　the U.S. mortgage crisis, the growing oil prices -　may develop into the financial and credit crisis caused by the declining economy of the United States.

The economic situation in Russia looks positive against such a background. The overall economic growth in 2007 made up about 7.5-7.7 percent, which is quite acceptable for the country attempting to replace the oil and gas dependant economy with a new model.

The crisis caused with the collapse in the sub-prime sector of the mortgage market currently dominates over the U.S. economy putting an immense pressure on its further development. It is worthy of note that the reduction of prices on real estate in the USA was initiated in 2006. However, the trend developed into a crisis only in 2007.

The mortgage crisis in the USA made world’s largest banks suffer billion-dollar losses. The U.S. mortgage system is deeply integrated into the world financial market. The American economy found itself in a very difficult situation against the background of the mortgage crisis and other long-standing economic problems. The Federal Reserve System was forced to reduce the interest rate from 5.25 to 4.25 percent which did not bring any positive results. Moreover, the threat of inflation increased in the USA, which in its turn may develop into stagflation against the background of the ongoing economic setback.

The unprecedented reduction of the dollar rate is another significant economic event of the outgoing year. On the whole, the weakening dollar plays a positive role for the U.S. economy. It reduces the amount of its foreign debts and raises the competitive ability of U.S.-made products. However, the weak dollar unbalances the oil market and reduces the interest in U.S. assets.

かつてない低金利。ドル安で貿易赤字は減る。石油は高騰し、ドルは米国に還流しなくなる。

The year 2007 was a very important period for the oil market. Current oil quotations demonstrate the chaos and disorientation on the markets of capital. The unstable state of affairs on world’s basic stock markets raises the speculative course of oil. The speculation can only make the oil market riskier for investors, sellers and consumers…
