I would agree with the comment about not investing enough in infrastructure, education, health care, etc., but disagree about too much government spending and lowering corporate taxes. Government spending on the above services are badly needed the money used for TARP was a waste.

Robert Scoble certainly thinks so, and although he can’t say what that big news is, Long Zheng speculates that it might be the launch of the Microsoft Office web app. The timing is right: The Office 2010 Technical Preview ships this month to invitation-only testers and close integration of a new web app with the next version of Office is a logical move."

"the most important thing happening today is Burma's opening to China and its ability or inability to manage its position between the world's rising superpowers - China and India. Burma is a country of 60 million sandwiched between nearly two-and-a-half billion Chinese and Indians."
