POPSPsychology of China's Markets. <"Beijing’s communist government understands consumer psychology and capitalist financial markets better than Western governments do right now – particularly the psychology. For example, because of the credit crisis and relentless coverage of the flagging economy, consumers are scared stiff at the moment. And understandably so. They see factory orders declining and jobless claims spiking to their highest levels in 25 years. They read the news that retail stalwart Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) – is lowering expectations. So consumers opt to hoard money out of fear, rather than spend it, and that’s what really kicks a recession into gear. Beijing’s stimulus is designed to encourage spending, rather than reward malfeasance, as our bailout plan is doing.">

POPS11 Public Transit Agencies Pleaded With Congress For Bailout And the banks were able to rely on frequent lease payments while writing off taxes on the depreciating property. The IRS ended such leasing arrangements in 2004 and is pressuring banks to stop the tax shelters by the end of the year. Metro, the Washington area’s transit system, agreed last week with a bank immediately seeking $43 million from one such financing deal following talks overseen by a federal judge. Terms were not disclosed on the judge’s instructions. Metro general manager John Catoe noted Tuesday that Metro still faces 14 similar financing deals. He said having to settle all of them in court would lead to hefty legal costs and other expenses. The other three agencies seeking government help are in Sacramento and San Jose in California and New Jersey Transit.

POPSA Credit Crisis or a Collapsing Ponzi Scheme? 
the scheme is exposed, because when legal authorities begin examining accounting records of the so-called enterprise they find that many of the 'assets' that should exist do not." here’s where we are today. The promoters have clearly not vanished as in outcome 1. In fact, they are behaving as if they know they have nothing to fear. We are definitely seeing all the signs of outcome 2: the scheme is collapsing under its own weight; there are panic runs around the globe wherever Wall Street has left its footprint. outcome 3 Instead of arresting the perpetrators and shutting down the schemes, Federal authorities have developed their own new schemes and pumped over $2 trillion of taxpayer money into propping up the firms while leaving the schemers in place. Equally astonishing, Congress has not held any meaningful investigations. This has left many Wall Street veterans wondering if the problem isn’t that the firms are “too big to fail” but rather “too Ponzi-like to prosecute.

POPSPeople Power Can Beat Climate Change Engaging communities involves a lot more than simply asking for sacrifices. A supportive planning system and the guarantee of a stable, premium price for energy sold back to the grid has given people an incentive to join forces and create renewable energy. At a time of economic downturn and rising fuel costs, it is hard to imagine that the advantages of this opportunity to develop sustainable income streams would be lost on the general public. It offers politicians, business and investors the opportunity to unleash an entrepreneurial spirit capable of reaping financial and environmental returns for both the people and the planet.
