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?
