G-Whiz

Our economy may be recovering - or as some have put it, the recession may be 'technically over'. I'm not sure what that really means, but I'm guessing by-the-book and by-the-numbers, it should be over, but it's not.

At least we aren't suffering from inflation. Although I do remember housing prices, way back in the 80's, received (as Albert Brooks put it in 'Lost in America') a 'ride on the inflation train you wouldn't believe'. That probably wouldn't hurt a few homeowners who've lately taken a ride on the deflation down elevator (maybe 'mine shaft').

One thing which seems to be inflating is financial summit memberships. It wasn't that long ago we had the G-7, then a few years ago it was the G-8. Now it seems we have the G-20.

G-Whiz, why not let everyone in on the party and get a real cacophony going. Muammar Gaddafi can be keynote speaker.
