North Korean economy declining after nuclear test

Posted by Matt in August 17th, 2007

North Korea hailed 2006 as a “year of great victory” thanks to its first nuclear weapon test. But the cost of possessing atomic bombs has put the country’s command economy again on the verge of bankruptcy.

The North’s economy swung to negative growth in 2006 for the first time in eight years largely because of the cost of the nuclear test and subsequent international sanctions, as well as chronic energy and food shortages, according to South Korea’s central bank estimate. The communist economy is also expected to remain in a slump this year as the country was recently hit by heavy flooding that has destroyed more than 11 percent of its grain harvest.

US Economy Collapsing
US Bank System Collapsing A View from the Southern Hemisphere....... Please subscribe, rate and pass this video along as quickly as possible. Thank you. Over 90% of America did not want to passage of HR3997. The US Congress was held at "Executive Gun Point" and told: "you either pass this bill or we will declare martial law." The most painful part of HR3997 is the shift in the final bill. What was the shift? Unbeknownst to the American people, however, is that since September 20th, the $700 billion bailout bill signed into law by their President yesterday was expanded from its original 3 pages to a 451 page virtual novel of new laws virtually enslaving them to the foreign holders of their debt. In addition, there are reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that the first...

John McCain: Economic Disaster
http://therealmccain.com/economy John McCain does not have the ability to fix this economic crisis. After declaring the fundamentals of the economy strong, he created a political circus in Washington last week by mucking up bailout negotiations; a deplorable stunt, considering he and his political cronies helped cause the current meltdown. It was McCain and his economic adviser Phil Gramm who pushed for the deregulation that helped lead to the banking crisis, and it was McCain's crony Rick Davis who had deep lobbyist ties to Freddie Mac. Don't let others be fooled by McCain's economic grandstanding because the reality is his policies and principles will only exacerbate our financial hardships. That's why you must spread this video. McCain is being deceitful with his sudden populist...

McCain's Green Economy: Drill, Baby, Drill
When it comes to the environment, John McCain only has the interests of Big Oil at heart. That's why he has over 22 Big Oil lobbyists advising him. That's why he favored lifting the moratorium on off-shore drilling -- a move that prompted Big Oil to donate over $1 million to his campaign. And thanks to the League of Conservation Voters, we've got the proof! The senate will likely be voting next week on these issues. Please call Senator McCain's office in Washington (202-224-2235), and tell him to stop siding with Big Oil and start supporting clean energy. Make everyone aware of McCain's deep ties to Big Oil by forwarding this video to five people and telling them to do the same.

2008 Fuel Economy Comparison: Prius v Jetta v Focus v Smart
http://www.edmunds.com/advice/fueleconomy/articles/126370/article.html These days there are a lot of small cars pounding their chests and claiming they get the best gas mileage around. Well, we got tired of the talk and decided to settle the score. Right here, right now! We picked three cars from our long-term fleet known for squeezing extra miles out of every gallon of gas: the spunky 2008 Smart Fortwo with a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine, the thrifty 2008 Ford Focus SES coupe with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, with its legendary 1.9-liter "TDI" diesel engine. Then we added a heavily favored gasoline-electric hybrid to the mix: a 2008 Toyota Prius.

World economy banks on China - 24 October 2008
Western leaders are hoping the 1.3 billion Chinese consumers will save the world economy. Despite three decades of rapid expansion, however, the majority of China's population remains relatively poor and hopes that they can pick up the slack left by American consumers appear to be optimistic. Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng reports.
