Germany casts jaundiced eye on Obama

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

MarketWatch - By David Marsh - Jul. 12 (News Analysis) - Officials close to [Finance Minister Wolfgang] Schaeuble report with satisfaction that rumours of his health-related resignation that swept the German press earlier this year during the height of euro worries have now completely subsided. And there is considerable disdain for the rhetoric of President Obama and his advisers regarding Germany's export-orientated economic progress. Particular derision is reserved for the rhetoric of Nobel prize-winner Paul Krugman, who with his recent diatribes against an allegedly inflationary bias in German policies is widely regarded in Berlin as somewhat imbalanced.

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700

MarketWatch - By Paul B. Farrell - Oct. 20 (Opinion) - Jack Bogle published "The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism" four years ago. The battle's over.

That's why a man like Hong Kong's contrarian economist Marc Faber warns in his Doom, Boom & Gloom Report: "The future will be a total disaster, with a collapse of our capitalistic system as we know it today."

Poll: Public negative on Bush legacy

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0800

MarketWatch - Jan. 07 (News Report) - As President Bush prepares to leave office, U.S. citizens tend to see his legacy as negative, a poll released Wednesday said. The Gallup Poll found Bush gets positive ratings on AIDS and many people say race relations improved during his presidency. But that last finding appears to be a result of the election of Barack Obama as his successor and not from any action of the president. Four out of 10 people surveyed said the country made progress on fighting terrorism. About the same number said the United States had lost ground, making the issue a wash for Bush.

Green-sky proposal

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0800

MarketWatch - By Thomas Kostigen - Nov. 13 (Comment) - The drag of poor air quality on the economy is mounting, costing the state of California alone close to $30 billion per year and, if my own reckoning is somewhat accurate, about six percent of total U.S. gross domestic product, or about $700 billion, a figure that should sound pretty familiar. China, which just this year surpassed the U.S. in carbon emissions, or pollution, on a total tonnage basis, figures its poor air quality costs it 5.8% of GDP due to health-care costs and lost days of labor. Extend that same formula of associated costs to the U.S. and you get hundreds of billions of dollars in losses, losses we can ill afford, especially now. California alone, which has the nation's worst air quality, according to the American Lung Association, loses $28 billion each year due to smog-related deaths, work and school absences, emergency room visits, and asthma attacks and other respiratory illnesses, says a new study by Cal State Fullerton.
