http://www.cato.org/view_ddispatch.php?viewdate=20080312#1 Appearing on Bloomberg, Cato chairman Bill Niskanen commented on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's recent rate cuts: "I regret that he has created expectations of continued reductions of interest rates. The government often makes two mistakes in a financial crisis. One, the Fed often overreacts. Second, Congress seems to want to insure people against any kind of losses due to bad investments.
"Both of those contribute to the next bubble. People make bad investments, the Fed's put too much money into the economy in the short-run. So I regret both what Bernanke's done in terms of expectations about interest rates and what Congress seems to be continuing to do to try to prevent people from having experienced a financial loss."
そのあと、一人で2時間カラオケへ。 JAM ProjectのGONGを歌ってみたくて行ったんだが、やっぱり 「恐れるな 誇りを捨てるな I got the power of love 明日を取り戻すんだ」という部分が異常に高い。 女声なんだから当然なんだけど。これをナチュラルに歌えたら、かなりすごいだろうな。
歌ったのは、 楽園(平井堅)、GONG、らせん(瀬戸の花嫁)、Shangri-la(Angela)、ロビンソン、氷雨(佳山明生版)、 たったひとつだけ(タクティカルロア)、Wo Men De Ai(F.I.R)、時代(中島みゆき)、 Kiss of Life(平井堅)、Circus Dream(Zabadak)、優しくキミは微笑んでいた(.hack//G.U.)、などあと数曲。
