Older Australians told to move on Submitted by Sahil Nagpal on Thu, 10/09/2008 - 03:22. Lifestyle Australia Sydney - Retired couple Lyn Gardiner and Rob Gay are selling their Melbourne home, buying a camper van and joining the tens of thousands of older Australians perpetually on tour in the wide brown land. It's a lifestyle change that warms the heart of sociologist Bruce Bradbury of the University of New South Wales in Sydney. His research shows that lots of pensioners have little money in the bank but are living in houses worth a fortune.

Economic crisis changes tone of race in Sixth District

Marlin Levison, Star Tribune

From left, Bob Anderson, Michele Bachmann and Elwyn Tinklenberg held an election debate on Oct. 1 at Stillwater City Hall.

Wall Street's meltdown and the government's bailout have become key in the three-way battle for the House.

Bachmann has to go...

This is an easy one. If you think the direction our country is heading is the wrong direction, you need to vote for a change. Bachmann … read more has been a whacky pawn for the far right political agenda...and this is an agenda that has not worked. Our economy is in the tank, our status in the world is on the decline, and that's just the start. Moreover, Bachmann is so obsessed with pet social issues like legislating a definition of marriage that she hasn't gained any meaningful status in Congress. We deserve AND we need much, much better...party allegiance alone cannot justify a vote for Bachmann.

Abortion, taxes and transportation have dominated recent campaigns for Congress in the suburbs, small towns and farms north of the Twin Cities.

But the political landscape changed in Minnesota's Sixth District when the financial crisis hit Wall Street and Washington. More than any other congressional race in the state, the showdown in the Sixth is offering voters stark choices on whom to blame for the crisis and what to do about it.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Republican, is telling voters that "hyper-regulation" by the federal government created a chain of events that caused bank failures and credit freezes. Bachmann voted against the massive rescue package that cleared Congress last week, slamming it as unfair to taxpayers.

Her Democratic challenger, Elwyn Tinklenberg, tells voters that lack of government regulation encouraged bankers to make reckless bets that brought on the crisis. He favored the bailout as a way to avert a more serious slowdown in middle America.

As the financial squeeze makes itself felt on Main Street, the candidates' contrasting positions on the bailout could determine the outcome of the race.

"People are very responsive to what the headlines are about," said Steven Smith, a professor of political science and expert on Congress at Washington University in St. Louis.

NOTE: STEVEN SMITH IS A WELL RESPECTED PERSONALITY IN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST.LOUIS.

The Sixth sprawls across Washington, Anoka, Wright, Benton, Sherburne and Stearns counties. It has been reliably Republican in recent years but is expected to be competitive for Democrats in a year when Republicans around the nation are struggling.

Bachmann, who won the seat in 2006, had a voting record more conservative on economic, social and foreign policy issues than 89 percent of her colleagues last year, according to the National Journal's ideological scorecard of congressional members. She gets more money from abortion-opposition and gun-rights groups than all but nine other members of the House.

Democrats argue that Bachmann is too conservative even for this conservative district. That line didn't work in 2006 for Democrat Patty Wetterling, a child-welfare advocate whom Republicans labeled too liberal.

But Tinklenberg calls himself a moderate Democrat and touts endorsements from police and fire groups and good grades from the National Rifle Association, which nonetheless endorsed Bachmann. He considers himself a Blue Dog Democrat, a group of fiscally conservative Democrats in Congress that has endorsed him.

Another candidate, Bob Anderson of the Independence Party, entered the race to bring mental health insurance on par with other health coverage. Because the rescue bill includes such a provision, he is now focusing on prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage for applicants with pre-existing conditions. He also stands apart from the others by his refusal to accept campaign contributions and his attack on Congress as a tool of special interests.

Still, the Independence Party endorsed Tinklenberg in the district, which voted heavily for Jesse Ventura when he ran under the party's banner for governor in 1998. Tinklenberg reminds people that he promoted the Hiawatha light-rail line and the future North Star commuter line while he was Ventura's transportation commissioner.

Transportation and oil

Transportation issues still loom large in the district, where traffic snarls and long commutes are common.

"If I had something to do downtown, I'd take the line," Patti Trott said of the North Star rail line after talking with Tinklenberg in a restaurant in Elk River, which will have a commuter station. But her husband, Karl, wanted more money spent on roads, explaining, "our priorities are out of whack."

While Bachmann has denounced the use of federal earmarks for funding local projects, Elk River city administrator Lori Johnson told her during a recent visit that the city needs all the help it can get to fix roads to ease congestion.

"We don't want to be left behind if there are earmarks, and that's the way the game is played," Johnson said.

As gasoline prices spiked this summer, both Bachmann and Tinklenberg advocated more off-shore drilling and alternative sources of energy. But they differ sharply on emphasis.

Bachmann stresses lifting federal restrictions on oil drilling. "We sit on the answer to our own problem," she said at a recent debate. "We have more oil in the United States than all of Saudi Arabia, and that's just in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming in the form of shale oil."

Tinklenberg replied, "We need to be exploring more domestically ... but we also need to move aggressively in both the areas of conservation and the areas of alternatives."

He favors increasing automobile fuel efficiency standards, while Bachmann voted last year against a measure that raised them.

NOTE: BACHMANN WON THE SEAT HOUSE LAST 2006.

On another key issue, health care, Bachmann wants to make insurance premiums and other medical expenses tax-deductible for individuals to make it easier for consumers to buy health insurance. Tinklenberg favors offering the option of government-sponsored health insurance as a competitively priced alternative to private insurance plans to achieve universal health coverage.

During her freshman term, Bachmann sometimes made news with remarks that raised eyebrows.

This summer she said expanded oil drilling and other measures would bring "immediate and lasting relief" and cut gas prices to $2 a gallon. The U.S. Energy Information Administration said it's unlikely those steps would significantly reduce gas prices any time soon.

Shortly after taking office in 2007, Bachmann told the St. Cloud Times that Iran planned to partition Iraq and turn part of it into a terrorist training ground. Her office later said her remarks were "misconstrued."

"The only reason this district would ever be in play is Michele Bachmann herself," said David Wasserman, the editor in charge of assessing House races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report in Washington. "She's a lightning rod in Minnesota politics. To the extent that Elwyn Tinklenberg is competitive, he's attracting some moderate Republican votes that's necessary to win this district."

Through mid-August Bachmann had $1.4 million in campaign contributions on hand. Tinklenberg had $200,000. Wetterling had four times as much cash at this point in her losing 2006 race.

Unless the party, union allies or others pump money into the race in the final weeks, Tinklenberg won't be able to afford many, if any, TV ads to counter a likely Bachmann ad blitz. She also has frequently appeared on "Larry King Live" to discuss national issues such as drilling or the financial rescue package.

About the bailout

Bachmann says the $700 billion bailout was unnecessary. She blames federal regulations for making it easier for people to obtain loans they couldn't repay, and she says the crisis could be overcome in part by changing accounting rules.

Tinklenberg labels her remedy "pretend accounting" and defends the package as needed to prevent credit from drying up in communities throughout the nation. He said significant oversight and curbs on executive compensation made the final package more palatable than its earlier version.

In talking with voters, he has been pointing out that Bachmann sits on the House Financial Services Committee that oversees the financial industry. She received more contributions from finance, insurance and real estate interests than any Congress member from Minnesota.

Wasserman said Bachmann needed "to be careful to ... avoid being seen as too corporate."

Smith said Bachmann's no vote on the bailout can be easily justified to constituents.

"The conservatives don't like big government and the liberals don't like bailing out fat cats," he said. "People in the middle just don't like the idea of giving away money."

But Tinklenberg can use his support of the package to define himself.

"There are signs that working-class individuals are finding their credit options disappearing," Smith said. "He's trying to show that he's a middle of the road politician who takes a pragmatic view of the problems facing the country."

BUCKLAW - WE MEET AGAIN YOU POLITICAL HACK

So you haven't woke up yet? As I was writing my last rant - I noticed an ad running on the right side of the web page for an upcoming movie - something called "Mikey and Mylie make a porno movie" You see BUCKLAW we're all in this giant pot of water and you and I are frogs. (Can you picture that - are you with me?) and you know what happens next? Yes - the heat has been turned on under the pot and I have already jumped out of that pot. You BUCKLAW have decided to stay in the pot and continue towards your union with Winston Smith. I ask you: which flavor of Koolaid do you prefer to drink when your party boss passes the party favors? Lemon Lime perhaps? Grape? or maybe my favorite: Pickle Chocolate cherry.

Good God

Why are Republicans like paulsworkshop so rabid? Talk about fanatical. Blown up any abortion clinics lately? Paul go back to the workshop and close the door and stay there please. You're an embarassment even to the right. You seem fond of koolaid and pin the tail on the donkey, perhaps you just need some tail. Sleep tight knowing the Democrats will be in complete control of the House of Representatives, the Senate and we'll have a Democrat President. Good times are a coming and Palin will be back in Alaska "shootin" moose in a matter of weeks. Night night!

Michele Bachmann

I really cannot believe that anyone will vote for Mrs. Bachmann. While I have no doubt that she is a nice woman, she is an embarassment in the house. Her legislation (freedom to choose lightbulbs?), her behavior(the President is not a rockstar) and her take on the economy (too much regulation?) all add up to Mrs. Bachmann being a horrible representative. Unfortunately, my district is a yellow dog republican district and it is too late to get a yellow dog on the ballot......... Please vote for Tinklenburg!!

You jumped from the pot and into the fire before you could make your point, Paul...

And that is the problem with the conservative side of political debate this election. Please tell us WHY we should put up with another four years of mismanagement and policies that have lead this country on a decline. What is it about an opportunity for correcting our direction as a country that has the right so angry? All people need to do is be semi-conscious and they'll see that things are not going well for Americans today. Can anybody disagree with that? Would you keep promoting the same ideas and strategies that have lead to where we are today if we wanted to change it for something better tomorrow?

Most absurd comment of the night

Michelle Bachmann should be our next president? Oh my, oh my, oh my. That is a scary thought. Right up there with the terror of Sarah Palin possibly stepping into that spot. @@ I'm not sure what Svengali-like attraction this nutcase holds for her followers, but for the rest of us she is a true humiliation. Bachmann does have a national reputation. I have friends all over the country who look up her comments online just for laughs, sort of like they'd read a comic book. To paraphrase an ad regarding another Republican that I hear people quote everywhere I go these days, Michelle's gotta go.

Reactions to story from Aotearoa: a wider perspective
Brazil, Argentina abandon US dollar
http://aotearoaawiderperspective.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 10/ 09/ brazil-argentina-aband...

Brazil and Argentina have launched a new payment system in their bilateral trade, doing away with the US dollar as a medium of exchange. The two Latin American nations started the Payment System on Local Currency (SML) on Monday following a last month agreement inked by their presidents to use local currencies in a bid to end transaction in dollars. On Thursday, Argentine Central Bank President Martin Redrado and his Brazilian counterpart Henrique de Campos Meirelles signed the enforcement of the agreement for the SML, under which exports and imports between the two countries will take place with the Brazilian real (BRL) and the Argentine peso (ARS).

NOTE: BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA ARE LATIN AMERICAN NATIONS.

On Friday, October 3 2008, as the Dow Jones erased all 300 point advance it recorded just as the House vote got underway shortly after the midpoint of the trading session moments following the vote in the House of Representatives to pass the credit market bailout. Coca Cola (KO) was spotted a bearish engulfing candlestick formation after Friday's close. The long tail characteristic of the candlestick couple with strong resistance at 55 levels, further strengthen the possible bearish reversal. With most of the analysts still recommending a strong buy; it leaves plenty of room for a downgrade.

NOTE: COCA COLA IS A WELL RESPECTED COMPANY IN THE BEVERAGE INDUSTRY.

New Delhi: The American and European markets are still taking a beating, though slashed interest rates did stem the damage a little.

As stock markets are traumatized by cascading losses and the collapse of some of the oldest names in banking, markets across the world took only mild comfort.

NOTE: AIG WAS RECENTLY REPORTED WHO HAD A MAJOR LOSS WHICH AFFECTED MANY.

Investors and the common man alike, want to know what more policy-makers can do and whether more cuts will follow from each country's central banks.

Even as the group of seven finance ministers and central bankers are meeting in Washington to stem the worst credit crisis since the Great Depression, markets have shown little recovery.

Dow Jones is still below 10,000, down by two per cent. It had lost 800 points on Tuesday, going below 10,000 for the first time in four years.

The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down by 1.13 per cent, extending the worst weekly slump since 2001. This has come as a setback, right after the indices had touched a five year low..

The NASDAQ too ended in the red at just over 1,740 points. Wall Street's drop was part of a breakneck global sell-off that witnessed stocks plunging and led to trading being halted in Russia, Brazil and Peru.

European markets also saw a major selling spree. London's FTSE 100 was down 5.18 per cent, with banking and commodity stocks taking a battering.

CNN correspondent in New York, Carter Evans has been closely watching the movements in the market indices. He spoke about the co-coordinated effort of Central Banks cutting rates. Analysts have been hoping that this will bring the much needed relief or is the financial crisis which has now been spreading almost like a Tsunami.

"There is a huge amount of concern and people do not know what to expect. Lot of investor confidence is lost and a lot of people were happy that the stocks had gone up. Then just before the markets opened, they went down. Within 10 minutes they rallied again and went down again, showing how volatile the situation can be," said Evans.

HARD MENTALITY, SHORT TERM VISION GRIP OUR STOCK MARKET

Herd mentality, short-term vision grip our stock market

Vincent Lingga, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

The capital market management and regulator made the right decision Wednesday to halt share trading here after the benchmark index plunged by another 10 percent to close at 1,451 points, because that development was indeed rooted in an irrational market mechanism.

Letting the stock market (IDX) continue operating in such a chaotic situation would be like allowing a few rice sellers to freely set the price of the staple amid a massive, nationwide famine.

Stocks in such blue-chip companies as telecommunications firm Indosat, coal producer Adaro and automobile and plantations group Astra International should not have plunged between 19 and 23 percent Wednesday, had it not been for a herd mentality on the part of domestic retail and institutional investors.

NOTE: PLUNG IN THE STOCKMARKET TO TO ECONOMIC PLUNGE.

The long-term outlook for telecommunications and our natural-resource-based companies remains bright and promising. Even though the prices of most primary commodities such as coal, palm oil and rubber have of late fallen steeply, they remain way above their 2006 levels.

The recent downward trend was even good for long-term stability, because the skyrocketing prices during the first semester were partly fueled by speculative sentiment. These prices are now seeking a new equilibrium.

Our domestic investor base should have been broad and diverse enough to shield the IDX from the abrupt changes in international investor sentiment.

The growing role of domestic institutional investors such as pensions funds, mutual funds and insurance companies should have contributed to broadening and diversifying the pool of investment in equities.

The long-term horizon of these institutional investors should have played a stabilizing role in our stock market. Basically, a diverse investor base, in relation to investment horizons and risk appetite, can contribute to financial stability by spreading risks more widely.

But as Wednesday's irrational market development showed, most domestic investor behavior was still controlled by a herd mentality, toeing the move of foreign portfolio investors.

What are the main determinants of share prices?

One of them is global factors, such as international liquidity and credit and market risk premiums. True, these factors are now all negative, as the impact of the financial crisis and panic in the United States and Europe sets in.

However, the strongest determinants of our equity prices -- the domestic or fundamental factors such as economic growth, the differential between domestic and global interest rates, the expected forward exchange rate, the inflation differentials -- remain fairly positive.

In fact, after Bank Indonesia's move on Tuesday to raise its benchmark interest rate by another 25 basis points to 9.50 percent, our interest rate differential with the U.S. Fed funds became 8 percentage points.

NOTE: BANK OF INDONESIA IS ONE OF THE TOP BANKS IN ASIA.

I don't think the amount of foreign portfolio money still playing in our stock market remained at such a level because it was still able to heavily influence the market trend.

Most of this hot money had flown out a few weeks ago as these skittish investors became highly risk-averse and tended to generalize things.

The steep fall in our stock market Wednesday was therefore exacerbated by the herd mentality and short-term-oriented stance not only of our individual (retail) but also institutional investors.

Hence, as BI Governor Boediono and chief economics minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said Sunday, if we really care about protecting our own house from the fallout of the international financial crisis, then we all, in our respective roles, should help contribute to maintain calm.

This calls for domestic retail and institutional investors to get rid of their herd mentality and adopt a more long-term view in order to contribute to building up a financially stable base for our equity market.
