Analysts wary of Greece’s debt crisis plan

A group of financial analysts in the United States have announced that the US economy is on a sustainable path to recovery, but it will take some time before unemployment figures return back to normal.

The USA, a ‘Captainless’ Sinking Ship.

I recently watched an interview in which Dr. Marc Faber made an analogy, it was in reference to the recent events in which President Barack Obama reappointed Ben Bernanke, to the position of Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of America.

This video is just my take on his analogy, with of course a bit of my artistic licence added.

The link to the interview is below.

Thank you.
