I am off to the (hopefully) sunny isle of Grand Cayman, to give a presentation on the subject “Global Crisis: From Disaster to Painful Recovery.”

Also presenting will be Todd Buchholz, former director of economic policy at the White House, Charles W. Calomiris, Columbia University Graduate School of Business; and noted congressional scholar Thomas Mann, Senior Fellow, Governance Studies, The W. Averell Harriman Chair.

    Ha! Barry, I saw that and thought it said Grand Canyon. Maybe that would be a more fitting venue ;)

    Enjoy the trip

    No irony in hosting a Global Crisis Conference at the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman.

    Barry! Great, while you’re there find out something for me. To quote – “The new administration has joined with House Democrats to propose $825 billion in new spending aimed at creating or saving between 3 and 4 million jobs.” What a great fucking (friggin) plan this is? It works out that each job is worth $206,000 dollars! WTF! Is this just for the brokers on Wall Streets jobs? Why in the hell are we spending nearly 7 times the average job salary to save those jobs???? Oh yeah, Change is coming!

    @flipspiceland — that was my thought too. BR with his suit lining stuffed with Benjamins, moving through our ever-vigilant TSA.

    Tell those idiots to stop hiding their money in the Caymans if they want to save the economy. ;^)

    To put things into a more realistic perspective, holding the conference out in the middle of a plowed field would have been more appropriate.
