POPSFrench Work the Least in the World In Cairo (and Seoul) people work the most. The perception in Egypt is that Egyptians don't work that much, don't work hard and take too many holidays. A recent cartoon depicted an exhausted man being helped by his friends and one of them yelling for an ambulance. The caption was something like: man works more than 30 hours. Perhaps it's time to rethink that image. Everyone I know from poor to rich, are always working at something. They are always making deals. Vie la France! and the French people for their joie de vivre . The French economy expanded by 0.3% in the 2nd quarter of 2009. Oh, those lazy French. :lol:

POPSSwiss bank to give Justice Dept secret names of rich US tax-cheaters Good government doing its job: Bravo, US Dept of Justice, for aggressively pursuing lawsuit against secretive UBS, in order to track down tens of thousands of super-rich Americans suspected of offshore tax dodges. Some tax-dodgers have come forward already, seeking lower penalties in return for 'fessing up. Justice says $20 billion is hidden in offshore accounts.

POPSObama’s ‘Advisory’ Board on Climate: Little Dissent from consumers and taxpayers through bogus Al Gore-endorsed “green technologies.” If you’re thinking that Doerr is only one voice on the ERAB and that less-biased heads will prevail, think again. Here are the other ERAB members and their interests/positions on cap-and-trade: * Austan Goolsbee as staff director and chief economist (Obama administration); * William H. Donaldson, SEC Chair, 2003-05 (Obama supporter who has spoken in support of climate legislation); * Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., president and CEO, TIAA-CREF (TIAA-CREF promotes climate change legislation through shareholder activism and possibly stands to benefit from “green” investments); * Robert Wolf, chairman and CEO, UBS (sells climate change-related financial products); * David F. Swensen, CIO, Yale University (Yale supports climate change legislation); * Mark T. Gallogly, founder and managing partner, Centerbridge Partners L.P. (early Obama supporter);

POPSOFF WITH HIS HEAD--PHIL GRAMM IS A GREEDY CRIMINAL Is it conceivable that this “knowing crime,” so widespread within the UBS enterprise, was unknown to Vice Chairman Gramm—even though it primarily involved U.S. tax evasion, and he had been hired by the company because of his expertise in American law, some of which he helped to write? As Gramm said when he was hired in 2002 by UBS, the position “will provide me with the opportunity to practice what I have always preached. I have been involved in every major financial debate since I’ve been in the Congress.” Phil Gramm lost his position as the co-chairman of John McCain’s presidential campaign when he blamed the recession not on the banking deregulation he championed but rather the people of the United States, which he described as a “nation of whiners.” But that was a sideshow compared with the serious charges now swirling around UBS, charges that may finally prove to be Gramm’s undoing.

POPSExodus Out of the Big Banks There's an intriguing idea here that it's good for the talent to disperse to smaller institutions. That it will be a sort of Darwinian process that whittles big banks down until they're no longer too big to fail. And it creates a more diverse Wall Street in the process. Well, really? It seems to me that's no longer true if a handful of the big banks (say Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan) are able to pay off their TARP funds early. Shrinking Citi and Bank of America to beef up Aladdin Capital and Broadpoint may be dandy and help the too-big-to-fail problem. But aren't we just as likely to be shrinking Citi and Bank of America to enlarge Goldman and JPMorgan? I'm not suggesting anything in particular other than that I'm not sure this talent reallocation really does anything material to the bank size issue.

POPS'MBA graduates led the world into recession' If these business leaders were not able to spot the flaws in the businesses they were running, one has to look into the matter of what business and management schools had been teaching them. The schools promoted a quasi-scientific approach to business, sermonizing that everything could be nailed down in a textbook, and encouraged students to believe that running a company could be mastered by anyone. The entire private-equity industry is founded on that principle. And also, all the intellectual tools that led us into the financial meltdown were largely invented within academia. Complex models for pricing risk created the market for the options and derivatives contracts that have caused so much trouble in the past year.

POPS$100 Billion in Fat Cat Tax Evasion "The United States Treasury isn’t the only one being shorted," the Times reports. "The Tax Justice Network, a research and advocacy organization, estimates $11.5 trillion in assets from around the world are hidden in offshore havens." So that's not just $100 billion in tax revenue from wealthy tax cheats, it's $11.5 trillion taken out of our economy and moved overseas. And this isn't some loophole, this is tax fraud -- these are hidden assets and this is criminal.
