Tidbit re Economics,English and Chinese et al.

The biggest financial concern is the price of fuel. Crude oil hits the record of $114a barrel and gas prices are up for American drivers. About 43% of folks have nothing left for saving after meeting the exopenses of food and fuel. According to national Parade survey,teachers deserve pay raise but I am a retired teacher without raise but social security benefits for living. About 93% agree that the economy should be the Presidential candidates' top concern. It is a known fact for sure!

Study is like the heaven's glorious sun that will not be deep searched with saucy looks.. Love's Labor's Lost in Shakespearean line: What is in a name? My Chinese name is shihao i.e. hero of poetry in name only but I am not a poet. Moxie is full of pep for an octogenarian in English i.e. "Mo" mean to model in Pin Yin with stamina for Xie i.e. Thanks. BTW, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao means family treasure of Wen family as his last name.

China's ICBC(Industrial and Commercial Bank of China) plans to steer away from buying US assets as the lender remains wary about market turmoil. (Wall Street Journal April 15, 2008 page A9) On page A11,Chinese government provides free food for students plus free accident insurance. In US,students get private insurance. There is the difference of the public sector-oriented China and private sector-oriented USA. However,both systems are mixed systems in essence. Any other scenarios?
