Stimmt, es gibt keine unanständigen Studienfächer. Lebenslanges lernen ist wichtig, egal in welchem Bereich man tätig ist. Das haben nur die meinsten Menschen nicht begriffen. Für viele ist nach der Ausbildung, nach dem Studium oder was auch immer schluss mit dem lernen. Dabei gibt es so viele interessante Dinge.

Ich halte deinen Beitrag keinesfalls für Satire. Die Bautätigkeit ist eine immense Einflussgröße auf die Wirtschaftstätigkeit und -entwicklung.
Da der Winter in diesem Jahr in Europa sehr früh eingesetzt hat, gab es definitiv einen Wettereinfluss auf das Wachstum. Ich denke die meisten Volkswirte sind vom Wachstum positiv überrascht.
Die Frage ist: Ist es legitim dieses im BT offen auszusprechen.

nicht blauäugig.
Ich sehe die Realität recht rational.

US lawmakers have expressed opposition to the idea of allowing US states to seek bankruptcy protection to alleviate pension underfunding and other debt burdens.
"While bankruptcy for states may seem like an attractive alternative to state bail-outs, there are constitutional and policy concerns with this approach," Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said at a sub-committee hearing on the matter on Monday.
US states are struggling with years of budget deficits related to the recession while the financial crisis has exacerbated gaps in their pension systems. This combination has led to concern that the most strained states will seek bail-outs.
Joshua Rauh, associate professor of finance at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, referred to unfunded pension liabilities as "hidden debt" that "will eventually force states and localities to choose among the unpalatable options of cutting services, raising taxes, attempting to reduce benefits owed to public employees, defaulting on other obligations or seeking a federal bail-out."
Some Republican lawmakers want to introduce legislation that would allow states to go bankrupt instead.
Mr Smith said that he was unsure whether Congress has the constitutional authority to allow states to seek bankruptcy relief. Under the US system of federalism, states are co-sovereigns.
"I am also concerned that a state bankruptcy option may actually encourage states to borrow more money, knowing that they could later restructure their debt in bankruptcy," Mr Smith, a Republican, said at the hearing, which is the second on state and local finances over the last week.
Matt Fabian, managing director at Municipal Market Advisors, said in testimony that allowing state bankruptcy would further disrupt a fragile market for municipal bonds because investors would need to reassess risk. Mr Fabian estimated that interest rates on long-term bonds could rise by 10-20 percent.
The precise amount of unfunded liabilities has become a topic of debate. Mr Rauh's research, which uses US Treasury rates, estimates that state and local government's face unfunded liabilities of more than $3,000 billion.
States on average use an 8 percent annual return projection to estimate their future pension liabilities and they are allowed to average gains and losses over a number of years through a process known as "smoothing".
Keith Brainard, research director at the National Association of State Retirement Administrators, said that state and local government retirement systems "do not require, nor are they seeking any financial assistance."
His calculations found that the median state pension fund is able to pay benefits until 2030, leaving enough time for reform, such as by reducing future benefits or raising contributions as some states have begun to do.
However, he said potential changes to the accounting methods that are recommended for governments and that could modify investment return assumptions "appear sound."
Separately last week, legislation was introduced in the House that would implement uniform standards for public-employee pension funds and prevent a federal bail-out of state and local government pension plans.
Retail Sales Rose Less than Expected, Up 0.3% in January; Import Prices Up 1.5%, Empire State Index 15.43
U.S. import prices jumped in January as energy costs shot higher again, a Labor Department report showed on Tuesday.
Import prices rose 1.5 percent, or nearly double the consensus forecast of 0.8 percent in a Reuters poll of economists.
Petroleum prices rose 3.4 percent in January and have risen 18.5 percent over the past four months. Non-petroleum costs rose 1.1 percent in January, the largest advance in that
category since April 2008.
Export prices rose 1.2 percent in January, exceeding the consensus forecast of 0.7 percent. They were led by agricultural export prices, which rose 3.2 percent.
Meanwhile, sales at U.S. retailers increased less than expected in January amid weak receipts at building material and restaurant outlets, a government report showed, likely reflecting the drag from snow storms that slammed large parts of the country during the month.
Total retail sales rose 0.3 percent, the Commerce Department said, advancing for a seventh straight month. Sales for December were slightly revised down to growth of 0.5 percent from a previously reported 0.6 percent.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected retail sales to increase 0.6 percent last month. Compared to January last year sales were up 7.8 percent.
Manufacturing Gauge Higher
A gauge of manufacturing in New York State climbed in February to its highest level in eight months, helped by a rise in inventories, the New York Federal Reserve said in a report Tuesday.
The New York Fed's Empire State general business conditions index increased to 15.43 in February, the best since June and up from 11.92 in January.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected a figure of 15.00.
The inventories index rose to 9.64 this month from 4.21 in January and was the highest since April. New orders and shipments, however, both fell from the previous month.
Employment gauges were mixed. The index for the number of employees fell to 3.61 in February from 8.42 in January, but the average employee workweek index rose to 6.02 from 2.11.
The prices paid index jumped to 45.78, the highest since August 2008, from 35.79 last month.
The index of business conditions six months ahead fell to 49.40 in February from 58.95 in January.
The survey of manufacturing plants in the state is one of the earliest monthly guideposts to U.S. factory conditions.
Nun ist es amtlich und beschlossen: Die Deutsche Börse und die Nyse Euronext werden fusionieren. Die Aufsichtsgremien haben dem Deal zugestimmt. Eine ganz große Frage ist aber noch unbeantwortet: Wer wird bei der größten Börse der Welt künftig das Sagen haben – Amerikaner oder Deutsche?
