It was about the US economy and how their deficit is 10 trillion dollars at the moment (or $35k for every person) and will double in the next decade unless they do something pretty drastic. I kept imagining Dr Evil saying the figure - its so unreal a number I can't actually get my head around it. What comes after trillions? <br /><br />Straight after that they had our budget announced, with the 60 billion dollar deficit and I felt a bit 'oh is that all - whats the fuss about?' Do you reckon Turnbulls reply to the budget tonight will be the lowest rating program in its timeslot?

...Melba. You looked up Daikoku, but not Adam Smith?<br /><br />Lunch was nice thanks. Daikoku is a flash Japanese tepan style restaurant. Adam Smith is most famous for his "invisible hand" metaphor and a book called The Wealth of Nations. Essentially he postulates that government should intervene in free enterprise as little as possible and market forces (the invisible hand) will bring about a fair balance between supply, demand, prices and wages.<br /><br />We've got a bit of rioting going on here today. Someone decided to stir up anti-Asian sentiment. 2 shops looted so far.

That took the first few years only, and it was following a recession.
