LONDON – Global leaders pledged an additional $1 trillion to restore credit, growth and jobs in the world economy on Thursday, exceeding expectations in their plan to deal with the financial crisis.

The Group of 20 nations also agreed to renounce protectionism and pledged $250 billion in trade finance over the next two years — a key measure to help struggling developing countries, whom they promised to give a greater say in world economic affairs.

The G-20 also outlined a raft of policies to rebuild trust in the financial system, including a crackdown on tax havens and hedge funds and new rules on linking executive pay to performance.

World losses were recently estimated to be about $50 trillion so far, the US has pumped over $12 trillion into the mess so far, estimates of another $5 to $7 trillion yet needed by the US for forseeable default protection is in sight, AND, a measly $1 trillion to the IMF only buys a little time until another trillion is needed. Interest payment rollovers renew at monthly combinations up to a year and require continual financing. In the meanwhile, middle class wealth in the Western World has more time for transfer to other hands as their tax burdens are loaded well beyond their lifetime, their home equities evaporate, their jobs disappear. I think of Japan where families can service 200 year mortgages. Yup, $1 trillion into the IMF is only 1/8 of the $12 trillion the US alone has conjured up so far. The market ‘rally’ today, just as others recently will be short lived and a downward course will inexorably proceed. World trade continues to sink with no end in sight. The G20 was hard pressed to come up with a $1 trillion...more will be needed.

So this should be considered a global tax for our portion. Obama, once again, sacrificing Americans on his global altar. All this from Mr. “Citizen of the World”.

WHAT THE F@$@?????????????????????????????????????

who do these smiling bozo's think they are?

Please allow me to translate from ‘idiot-speak’ to American:

“LONDON (AP) - Prime Minister Gordon Brown says leaders at the G-20 summit have agreed to give $1 trillion to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to help struggling nations around the world.”

translation: Obama commits to taxing Americans to give money away to the One World Government bank

"Brown also says the 20 countries at the summit will enact common policies to crack down on tax havens, regulate hedge funds, and rebuild trust in the financial system to “prevent a crisis such as this from happening again.”

Translation: We will control OTHER countries governments as if we are the One World Government and we will impose our will to them. Oh and the ‘prevent this crisis’ comment has nothing to do with them, we just tossed it in to make it sound good when we tell the government that Swiss Banks will be raided by us.

"He says the G-20 nations will also give emerging powers a greater say in the world economy."

Translation: We will let small, third world countries make decisions (which will, not surprisingly, be what WE wanted to do in the first place to other countries)

WELCOME ONE WORLD GOVERNEMTN!!!!!!!

THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SO SMILING AND HAPPY!!!!

ALL HAIL OUR G-20 OVERLORDS!!!!!

Don't be surprised if Obama offered to secretly pay for the other countries' share with US taxpayer dollars.

Pure unadulterated insanity based upon a Utopian vision of togetherness and YES it WILL lead to the downfall of our sovereign nation as we know it.

We battled this eventual happening and lost.

Time to succumb to insanity and drop the ax.

The battle is over.
