In my opinion, businessman do business for profit. The only way to enable consumers to receive the maximum benefits, government regulations require that the law allows consumers to not concessionaire. Government should have measures to make all three parties are satisfied, the business the consumers and own government.

I can’t stand admitting government idea that they will run the program. I think this non-sense program is goal in a short-run, but after that there would have something trouble. The program maybe increase the GDP, but anyway how government look forward to coping with the situation, because current economic problem seemed to be worse and worse. Furthermore, this is a world crisis, it is wildspread and hard. Thai government in nowadays should stop borrowing money from financial source, because the Democrat government seemed to be less efficiency managing the nation finance.

Thaksin's old broken record
Thaksin Shinawatra should have, by now, learned what he had said during his phone-in interview from somewhere abroad with the Dstation of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship on Sunday.As usual, what Mr Thaksin said it was the same old stuff that he has kept repeating time and again like a broken record: that he and his family were unfairly treated; that he has not done anything wrong; that he was falsely accused of not being loyal to the monarchy; that he has been targeted for assassination attempts and etc. He vowed to keep the fight for the justice until his death.
PERSONAL RESPONSE
After I read this post, I also have a confused about this whole matter with Thaksin and the PAD. I am not a supporter to both sides, but what deeply concerns me is that it seems like Thai people are also confused, because we cannot tell what is right and wrong now. And I just like to ask you about your thoughts on this, what can we do in a time like this? who can we listen to for the good advice? and what exactly is going on in Thai politics and society? I think Mr.Thaksin should come back to Thailand for explain his reason and fight for the truth.

EU seeks joint economic action
EU finance ministers on Tuesday urged coordinated action to tackle the economic crisis, against a backdrop of increasing criticism over French "protectionist" moves in its auto sector.
With Europe in a growing recession the ministers agreed to work together on ways to deal with their banks' "toxic assets" which are hampering lending.
They also looked at the progress of a 200-billion euro (260-billion dollar) stimulus package designed to kickstart their ailing economies. Overall the cry went out to avoid the temptation of protectionism at all costs.
PERSONAL RESPONSE
I agree with Czech Finance Minister of French because our ambition is to ensure that at the highest levels there should be a clear 'no' to protectionism and French whose country holds the EU's rotating presidency.
I don’t agree with France by name but the European Union's top competition regulator expressed concern Tuesday about France's plan to bolster its auto industry, which has also drawn fire from the Czechs and German industry.

Farmers block road in Tak
Personal Response : I Think that I sympathize with the farmers because they can plant the rice then sales and export to the others countries. Thus, they can make more GDP [Gross Domestic Products] to Thailand. But the farmer’s action is not good. Because they make the inconvenient things to the people who use the road and it’s illegal. So, if they have the problems, they should contact directly to the government. Moreover the farmers must understand about the bureaucracy working process that is very delay.
