Video: Michael O'Leary at the Innovation Convention 2011 - Brussels
Rico writes.......
'Jeezus Buck!
This O'Leary guy is fantastic writ large! He has his business figured out, and he also understands the absolute uselesness of the EUrocrats and technocrats that worship at the altar of Brussels!
This is 'almost' enough to make me want to live in EUrope again...but there are not enough O'Leary's and far too many Merkozy's for my taste.'

Retail really below 2006 levels?.............from Rico
The reported 'offishul' retail sales for Dec 2011 were up 0.1%...BUT...things are actually worse than we are being told.
- We are being lied to (again).
In the last 20 years, the US population has grown by 23% while the Dollar has 'lost' 39% of its purchasing power to inflation.
The retail "consumer" economy, adjusted for population growth and inflation is thus about 7% below Jan 2006 levels.
This is not a recovery, but we can all be 'happy' that the government declared the recession 'over' a couple years ago.
Hmmm...how did that go again? Oh yeah....figures lie, and liars figure.
- ad erratum est....our government lies.

Obama balances the budget!............from Rico
Well, I can imagine that this could well be the 'spin' put on this historic event...but matching the national GDP with the national DEBT isn't exactly balancing anything.
To badly paraphrase Daffy Duck, only a "maroon" would think so, and we sadly have more than a few of those walking among us today.
