Glad to see that US and EU have purportedly recovered from the sub prime debacle ( they each had to write off one trillion $ of bad debt) . Given that the world can now afford to pay 1 to 3 % base interest, it is now time for commodity prices to be allowed by the banking empire and governments to increase by 50 to 100% to ensure their mid term to long term existence. The going out of business prices imposed on them was ridiculous given the commodity producers had nothing to do with the banking empires debacle.
