  • Some online jobs are too suspicious to inquire. It has fraud written all over it.

  • anderson country, tennessee!

  • i love money!

  • This video is great!

  • Earn money online! :)

  • When you export 100t of wood, but then you import 200t, then clearly you are not an exporter of wood, on a net basis. yes, I do accuse every welfare program as socialist, but that hardly makes me a racist now does it? The Swiss AML measures are more strict than in any other country. You can hide crime money more easily in Nevada trusts than in Swiss bank accounts.

  • yes Keynes believed (wrongly) that consumption - driven by gov spending, welfare, low interest rates, whatever - creates prosperity. in reality, production (and net exporting) creates wealth. not only does this make sense in terms of deductive logic, it is also obvious many examples, e.g. US and China: China produces, US consumes (on credit). as to exports, the US really does net-import most goods (on a net basis), except for aeroplanes, wood, corn and some other categories.

  • 1. Nothing wrong with Arab world, in this regard. 2. The real Swiss private bankers do not have MBAs, they have been raised by the banks themselves. 3. Keynesianism is the central planning of the overall economic course by manipulating money and interest - an interventionist-socialist redistribution policy. And it is not new at all, it has been causing numerous busts. 4. I propose you look at net exports (after deducting imports) by category.

  • @dschoenenberger , your knowledge of Economics field is as pitiful as your logic. Just google the words "new Keynesianism" . And even the most capitalism country like Singapore has some income redistribution program. you sounds like those far right white racist who accuse every welfare program as socialism. By the way, goodluck with your money from the crime, and I won't waste more time to reply you since you do not even know new Keynesianism and misconstrued that into Keynesian is a new idea

  • @dschoenenberger , and I even found one more error, the old Keynesian is not focus on manipulating money and interest, but focus on government spending and social welfare to stimulus economic. Gees you should pay me the tuition. By the way, you are saying that world uses none of US products and I reply to you as the fact that Us the third biggest exporting country. Trade deficit is different problem, you really understand the concepts?

  • well the "business world" of Harvard, LSE, IMD is not exactly a great reference. their "models" do not see crises coming. socialist-interventionist policies are praised, capitalism is discredited. 99% of all fund managers underperform. huge corporations led by Harvard graduates collapse, while self-made dropouts like Gates, Paulson and such create billions of wealth from scratch.fuck the Yvy League and its political enterpreneurs.

  • Hu? Don't understand this. What if A registers his bill and buys a car from B who doesn't go to the website but instead buys a computer from C with that money? Now if C logs the bill, there is no point in making a geo profile as the transaction is not A > C but B > C.

  • "undoubtedly the handsomest bill in the world"? a typical statement by isolationist US americans. they have no geographical (let alone monetary) knowledge of the world. they probably have never look at a map beyond the borders of their totalitarian government. i pity you, handsomest (and most indebted) people in the world.

  • @dschoenenberger Get a sense of humor and better fact checking. The US is hardly the most indebted nation in the world, by any measure.

  • @jonbiggar You are right, one really needs a sense of humour when looking at the US. The Fed is buying private bonds using money created out of thin air. your government is implementing socialist policies. the EU of course does the same. does that comfort you?

  • @dschoenenberger you are confused. I don't like the increasing US debt or the creeping progress of socialism at all. But liking either of those are not prerequisites for suggesting that you get your facts straight about the level of US indebtedness, or wondering what's with your attitude.

  • @jonbiggar "The top ten most indebted countries in the world by external debt looks like this: 1. United States $13,703,567 million ..." (and that was one year ago) google it

  • @dschoenenberger You're comparing apples and oranges. The appropriate measure is debt as a percentage of GDP, not total debt. If you make a million dollars per year and have $1000 in outstanding debt, and I make $1000 dollars per year but have $100 in debt, who's worse off? I am, since my debt ratio is 10% while yours is .1%.

    US debt as a percentage of GDP is lower than many countries, including several in Europe. Even your home country has significant debt, although less than the US.

  • @jonbiggar With your proposed measure, 17 US states are more indebted than Greece. When the Chinese stop buying US gov bonds, the US will sink into the oceans like Atlantis. Get a one-way ticket to Indonesia while they're still cheap. Obama is going to try to prevent your Republikflucht, so you will have to be clever.. good luck

  • @dschoenenberger Yup, that's a problem. I live in one of those states. The problem is the same as in Greece. Politicians who got far too cozy with the pubic employees unions and gave them excessively high salary, benefit and pension deals in exchange for votes. The American public is getting *very* angry about this, and the number of political incumbents who will be turned out of office this November will stun everyone.

  • @dschoenenberger again, just like what I said in my previous reply, You should at least have some fact-checking before exposing your european ignorance. The majority of the US federal bonds are hold by American. China own less than 6% of the total and they do not dare to abandon Dollar because they have to keep the RMB value low and the upcoming crash of Euro zone. Just go check the new 2010 IMD report to see how competitive the Us is compare to Euro.

  • @hsienkangchen yeah right. as if the average american had any savings to invest in anything. us gov bonds are increasingly held by the Fed itself or by mysterious "others" (see Eric Sprott's research), the dog is biting its own tail, a house of cards is being erected. in the meanwhile, the Chinese learn from the US example that value is not created from an armchair, and certainly not from inflating the currency (a supposed store of value). but you are right the EUR is dying along with the USD

  • @dschoenenberger or you actually do not know what is IMD because your are greek and pretend to live in Switzerland

  • @hsienkangchen I know IMD, an exclusive business school in Lausanne. It is not very well known and does not have many graduates. They're probably okay. The purpose and usefulness of qualitative rankings is another story..

  • @dschoenenberger By the way, if you criticized the US because we did not have bank like UBS which sucks money from foreign corrupted governor, international drug dealers, Mafia, or human traffic deal, or because the US did not ban islam minarets, then I have nothing to say

  • @hsienkangchen It is okay for Swiss banks to accept money that may have been involved in crime or that has been saved from the greedy hands of governments. on every bank note there are traces of drugs. Criminals are allowed to use trains, why not banks? The mafia provides businesses with better security and order than governments, and even for a cheaper price. Switzerland must protect the freedom and private property of the victims of foreign governments.

  • @dschoenenberger , A bus driver will stop and report to the local police if he/she found any crime activity took place on broad. this is what I saw in most of the countries I stayed before. By your reply then I found the reason of nowadays European degeneration, xenophobia, and ignorance. The disintegration of euro zone is coming. Good luck!

  • @hsienkangchen The disintegration of the EU is a very healthy cleansing process and I welcome it. Xenophobia is not really a factor since most countries have 20-30% foreigners living together peacefully. People do not identify with gov anymore, it is only politicians for whom national borders have any meaning at all.

  • @dschoenenberger , living so peacefully so they decide to ban minarets? I can probability see your logic and level here. If you do believe the Euro will crash, then there is no reason USD will die. In the worse scenario the USD will still be sustained by all major economic entity in the world. IMD is very famous in business world for their MBA program. So my final conclusion: The US is not perfect by the whole Europe, borrowing the words from Nigel Farage, is just a damp rag!

  • @hsienkangchen correction............The US is not perfect but the whole Europe, borrowing the words from Nigel Farage, is just a damp rag!

  • @hsienkangchen the Arab world does not allow Christian churches, CH does not allow minarets. What is the problem? Not everybody can build their special tower wherever they want. in the meanwhile, plenty of moderate muslims in CH require neither minaret nor burka and are peaceful productive members of a free society.

  • @hsienkangchen I agree that Europe is facing monetary trouble, and for partly different reasons than the US does. The US problem is that at this time, the world uses none of their products (except for airplanes, movies, corn). China makes everything. An inordinate number of Harvard graduates are selling each other insurance policies, which increases the misleading GDP figure. The Fed is monetising debt (even more so than ECB). so yeah, both worlds are "not perfect" at all, borrowing your words.

  • @dschoenenberger , 1. So you simply said Switzerland is no different than Arab world, good point. 2. You cursed those MBA graduates but defended your bank from hiding money for the crime, are you lacking of logic or just having disgusting double standard? 3. Right now, the policy is called new-keynesian which advocated by lots of scholars in Harvard and it is still a capitalism ideology instead of socialism. 4. The US is the third biggest exporting country, and the first is German and China

  • @dschoenenberger ......................Now, we see the level of European. You should at least have some fact-checking before exposing your european ignorance. THe US debt to GDP ratio is lower than most of the European country and even lower than German. The most current World Competitiveness Yearbook published by IMD indicates that the US the third most competitive entity in the world; the first two are Singapore and hong kong. And again, none of the European country can compete with the US

  • im so glad only about 2500 people give a shit about money.

  • first off its a way to try to sell you something..and when i get one of thows bills it piss's me off...tell your addvertizers kiss my ass

  • @copperwaxwing It's not really advertising, as there is nothing to sell! I'm part of the Where's George community, and I've never bought anything. There is a "store" part of the website, but most of it is dedicated to tracking the bills. Please, if you find one, enter it! It makes people quite pleased to find where the bill has gone.

  • good work!

  • Very Interesting! Thanks!
