Why would anyone want to invest in a societytrying to borrow and print its wayto economic stabilization?


The UK failed to find enough buyers for 1.75 billion pounds ($2.55 billion)


of bonds for the first time in almost seven years


as debt investors repudiated Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s plan


to stem the worst economic crisis in three decades


 


Brown’s government plans to sell


a record 146.4 billion pounds of debt this fiscal year


and as much as 147.9 billion pounds in 2010


as he tries to pull Europe’s second-largest economy


out of its worst recession since 1980

If every new beginning is another beginning’s end


where’s the middle?


 


Treasuries fell for a fifth day


after an auction of $34 billion in five-year notes


drew a higher-than-forecast yield


spurring concern record sales of US debt


are overwhelming demand

Is anything possible


in a world with no fear?


 


Can a straight line


be the shortest distance to failure?


 


Can small causes


have large effects?


What makes an unsustainable subsidy


unsustainable?


If anything is possible


what’s probable?


 


If stability leads to instability


does instability lead to stability?


Is there anything other than the present


to a fish?


Can dew be a flood


to an ant?


 


Why didn’t the emperor’s constituents see


that the emperor wore no clothes?
