Children of Poi Pet

Poi Pet is name of Cambodian town for border crossing with Thailand. This video was shot on Thai side of border. On surface children look OK, but its a sad story. Supposedly they are rented from orphanages and put out on the streets to beg from tourist and rich Thais. You will notice in video a small girl is carrying a baby, this is a common ploy used at border. The baby in that shot was sick, I could hear the baby sniffling. Some of the kids offer to hold an umbrella.

Monetary Policy By Federal Reserve Will Cause "Double Digit" Inflation

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 Martin Feldstein, George F. Baker Professor of Economics at Harvard University and President Emeritus of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) voices his concerns that recent monetary actions by the Federal Reserve will cause severe inflation down the road. The renowned economics professor says that it is possible that the country will see the return of "double digit inflation" of the 1970s. In addition, professor Feldstein expressed his skepticism about the ability of the Federal Reserve to keep any future inflationary pressures in check. "It's the monetary policy that worries me. After all what the Fed has done is to allow an explosion of reserves in the commercial banks. A year ago, commercial banks had excess reserves of 3 billion dollars. They now have more than 700 billion dollars, so that once the economy begins to recover - that could be next year, could be late next year, whenever it is - there'll be a strong pressure to convert those reserves into a growth of money and credit, and therefore to start inflationary pressures", says Feldstein.
