WASHINGTON (AFP) – Prime Minister Gordon Brown raised the prospect of a global "new deal" to fix the finance industry within months, setting the stage for April's G-20 economic summit with President Barack Obama.
Brown, taking a welcome break from political problems back home, claimed his prize as the first European leader to meet Obama in the Oval Office, and won a statement from the US leader that US-Britain ties were unbreakable.
Obama agreed the world needed to work collectively to head off future financial crises, but did not give a specific, public endorsement of Brown's calls for a sweeping new global regulatory framework.
Brown, who will on Wednesday give a showpiece address to a joint session of the US Congress, also called for an overhaul of global financial institutions and a drive for a new green, globalized economy.
"Look, there is the possibility in the next few months of a global new deal that will involve all the countries of the world in sorting out and cleaning up the banking system," Brown told reporters in the Oval Office.
"There is the possibility of all the different countries of the world coming together to agree the expansion in the economy that is necessary to restore confidence and to give people jobs and growth and prosperity for the future," he said.
"There is the possibility of the international institutions for the first time being reformed in such a way that they can do the job that people want them to do, and deal with some of the problems that exist in the poorest countries of the world."

I guess the long proposed UN taxing system will start this and the UN will be responsible for taxing all of us RICH nations to pay the deadbeats of the world’s way.

England is bankrupt — this is all America’s fault, bail us out for our stupid socialism and uncontrolled immigration.
Did I miss anything?
I heard Obama make a comment at the top of the news hour on the radio that this will make things a little more “just” for everyone. What a socialist pig. He is now just saying out loud what his intentions are. Where are the Republicans? Michael Steele?
The U.S represents the TOP 2% on the world personal income ladder. THE WORLD WANTS YOUR MONEY!
I predict that if this goes through, as the US taxpayer is hosed again, that will be the powder keg that starts the second revolution. It will be, hopefully, the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
ummmm....boy, keep this talk up and, as intended, that NAU, begins to look better all the time.
He is going to kiss away another $800-900 million.
Last time I checked, collective was a communist buzzword? Oh yeah, I forgot who was talking.
And "Dow 4,000 possible in months" : Neocaveman
Make that billions... can’t keep my _illions straight anymore.
At this point...let’s get to getting, one way or another, let the ‘games’ begin...because frankly, I’m tired of this nightmare that never seems to end.
4,000? Optimist!!! Try 3,000.
“Gordon Brown wants UK to be the international financial center for Sharia products”

I’m with you. It’s way past the time for things to happen. The citizens of this country have been beaten into sheep like submission. Things that I once thought would send this country into rage barely garnered a burp.
Being forced to pick up the tab for the rest of the world should be powder keg. If not, then America is lost and we, of right mind, better find another place to call home.
No. Communist idiot. The new capitalist party will come and blow him away. It6 is going to get to the Brass Tacks are you a communist or an American. Screw the and the socialist Republicans. You do not realize. The Donks are communists and the Republicans are socialists. We are capitalists blowin in the wind. Figger it out.
I will NOT pay a UN tax. End of story !
it will be a hidden tax or fee. like on international money transfers. banks send money back and forth all day. that would be taxed.
Nothing good can come from this. Nothing!
It’s time to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
It’s time to take back country.
We are seeing what happens when people who don’t work are allowed to vote.
The day I am supposed to sit down and write a tax check to the UN is the day I hoist the black flag and start slitting throats. At the UN tax office.
Whatttttttt???
Just say No man!!
Yet another part of Atlash Shrugged seems to be coming to pass. Unfortunatly, I don’t think we have a Ragnar Danneskjöld around to retrieve what will inevitably be stolen from us.
