...enough; doing so in the G20, which includes China, India, Russia, Brazil and Mexico, is exponentially harder. It doesn't help that members' interests vary so sharply. China, for example, owns so much U.S. government debt that it's publicly worrying about American financial stability. Washington, by contrast, has thrown fiscal discipline to the wind as the Obama Administration seeks to spend its way out of crisis, pushing the budget deficit into potentially destabilizing territory...
Listen, if people appreciate your work, there's nothing nicer. When I was young, I did a big TV show in England called Chancer. I kind of got thrown into the limelight, so I went through a period of finding a way of dealing with it. When things opened up in the States for me, it was less disorienting than it would have been if I hadn't had that experience. But I think most parents stay grounded.

The total amount of money that comes in from the Mineral Management System each year is about $11 billion. If the sex addicts are thrown out of the service, it could be worth a few billion more. And, if Congress and the Administration would do everything that they can to give oil companies permits for off-shore drilling in areas which have recently been approved for this purpose, it would certainly add billions of dollars...
