Why are these types of threads proliferating so? They post a you tube link with little or no discussion. How about a little input OP. What is so special and why?
EDIT: OK, I see that is just what you do. Throw out at least 1 video link each day and collect flags. Is it that important to be a "gold contributor"?edit on 18-6-2011 by sonofliberty1776 because: (no reason given)

Well some of us have no sound so would appreciate a little synopsis of what the point is at least so we could search for more about it before we comment.
Another piece of conventional wisdom espoused these days is this idea that the Chinese “need the U.S. as much as we need them.” I think this is utter nonsense and in fact the opposite may in fact be true. At the least, it is worth considering. In July 2009 I wrote a piece titled “The Emerging China Risk” just before the Shanghai market topped out in early August. I noted that M2 and loan growth in China was dangerously high and that they risked creating major bubbles. Very few people were talking about this at that time. Now it is accepted
