		<description>&quot;But when the peso is weaker and is hurting the imports kasalanan ni GloriaÃ¢â‚¬Â¦.

Oh common!&quot; - rego

I didn&#039;t say that. All I said is that the strengthening of the peso is not Gloria&#039;s achievement so she cannot claim credit for it.</description>

		<description>RE ECONOMY:

Tell me how this happened:  MBC BULLISH ON 2007 PROSPECTS.  

That is the same Makati Business Club that was pushing for GMA&#039;s ouster over a year ago. Business is business, when you&#039;re making money, you support the one in power.  When things are down, you support the opposition. 

Where is all the opposition from the business sector today?  They managed to pre-pay some of the debts incurred during the 97 Asian crisis with the peso&#039;s strengthening and are happy as clams to see their profit margin go up...and so - they&#039;re quiet.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Cat, so what if the small workers of California find investing in the Philippines profitable? ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s not the kind of Ã¢â‚¬Å“economicsÃ¢â‚¬Â thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s relevant to me. What is important to me is the kind of Ã¢â‚¬Å“economicsÃ¢â‚¬Â that puts food on the table of millions of Filipinos, not the one that stuffs more dollars into the pockets of small workers in California.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I doubt if you are really economics degree holder.</description>

		<description>&quot;re the economy. if one area is showing improvement, say the peso rate, do we necessarily have to follow that with a big Ã¢â‚¬Å“HOWEVERÃ¢â‚¬Â to prove that GMA is not doing a good job?IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m just wondering why thatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s all. it would make opposition look better, more rational and more honest if we can simply give credit where credit is due.&quot; - mita

The strength of the peso vis-a-vis the US dollar is the consequence of the billions of dollars pouring into the country from OFWs. It is not the result of something that Gloria did. She just happens to be there, period. Where&#039;s the credit?

Even the strength of the peso is not all that good. It has adversely affected exporters (less pesos for their dollars) and producers for the domestic market (greater competition from cheaper imported goods), and even reduced the income of the OFWs&#039; dependents.</description>

		<description>&quot;Direct foreign investments that go into either expansion of existing production facilities or creation of new ones certainly produce jobs. No questions about it. CalpersÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ investments are in capital and money markets. These are the kinds of investments that fly out of the country at the slighest sign of trouble. &quot; - Shaman.
---------------------------------------------------------

So as long as they are IN the country they can be used to make the economy going, right? Calpers is coming not going away, so that is positive and its a good news. 

Oh I know, why dont we make investments like Calpers go away. Para mapahiya uli si Gloria....</description>
