Priests do not usually get involved in political economics. But among the prayers for the dead, the sick, the unhappy and the incompetent at St. Patrick’s cathedral on Sunday was an entreaty to the Almighty to intervene on behalf of Irish bond yields.
Many times have we criticized Ben Bernanke for ‘playing God’ with the economy. Will we now get a chance to criticize God for playing Ben Bernanke?
Whether or not God intercedes in such matters, we cannot say. But had we been in charge of the program at St. Patrick’s cathedral yesterday we would have saved our breath. Ireland’s financial problems were caused by man. They can be solved by man too.

We’re having a hard time ourselves…
First the news, then we’ll come back to… The Lost Century.
Yesterday, the stock market retreated – 80 points on the Dow. Still no clear direction… So let’s return to our story for the week.
So far, this 21st century has been a delightful flop. A washout. At least, for Americans. At least, from an economic point of view.
Here’s the evidence in a nutshell:
There are no more full time jobs in the US today than there were when the century began.
In terms of per capita wealth, Americans are now worse off than they were when the century began.
The value of US houses, for example, is about back where it was when the century began.
And household earnings, adjusted for inflation, are lower.
And America’s industries, businesses, and enterprises too are worth not a penny more today than they were in 2000.
And now…the background.
First, we admit to a keen interest in this sort of thing. Here at The Dai
