Personally, I feel that the writer has completely missed the point of the recent cooling measures implemented by the Government. Policies rarely benefit everyone across the board and there will always be people who suffer from such a policy change. In this circumstance, the Government has to keep in mind that the average Singaporean (unlike Mr. Tan) has to struggle with rising property prices, which has been driving up the cost of living in Singapore.

As for the rest, they are still million dollar minister. But the basis for their bonus looks interesting as it will be based on four measures: GDP growth, unemployment rate, real growth in median incomes and real growth in the incomes of the bottom 20 per cent of wage earners.
How to determine real growth?

Yawn. And after this, let's just let Italy default, Spain default. And while we're at this, Ireland as well. And maybe, the US will than choose to default on the debts as well, so the world is square.
Its so convenient for people to keep saying cut this cut that and reduce debt and increase revenue. Only that in a country that has no economic growth, no government to spur growth, where got taxes huh?

Cool, thanks. Though it's not exactly "reasoning", it's just facts; relativism is for philosophy students.

Re: Sovereign debt question on 'yields'
Here is my possible explanation in layman terms.
Greece is technically bankrupt at the moment. The market is anticipating a default in the capital repayment for the bond which expires in 2 years. So everyone is selling short dated bonds thus driving yields higher.
In 15 years time, do you think greece will remain a bankrupt? They probably have improved their financial status.

The chink in the armour here is that you assume governments intend to repay their debt obligations.

Oh god, a conspiracy theorist.
Look, I'll spell it out for you. The big banks are NOT selling gold to "artificially depress the market". They are NOT "short gold". The Fed is the world's biggest owner of gold; they have no reason to want the price lower either. I could link here to an excellent piece on the hyperinflation myth by Cullen Roche but I don't think you'd read it because it doesn't support your wacky conspiracy theory. So here's the scoop.
