Germany FINALLY Says F U to Greece

[CrusaderFrank]

This will lead to a world war.

Austerity is a horrible idea.

Greece needs to go into the equivalent of chapter 11, write down their debts (not triple them), revamp their social programs, cut spending and be more business friendly. Austerity crushes the life out of the Greek economy just to keep the European banks pretending to be solvent.

The EU is finished and its just a matter of time before there's blood in the streets -- again.

Here is the difference when company or individual goes into BK vs a country or state. The individuals does it, it's only him who makes the decision and they have to live with the consequences. When a company does it, the board makes the decision and usually the board stays on and the country and courts enforce it and the company has to live with the consequences. But when a country does, it's the elected politicians that make the decision and the people who have to enforce the measures taken, but it's the people who have to live with it. When you get an entitlement society like Greece or France, then they won't live with it and they just elect socialist douche bag politicians who promise the stars by attacking the producers. They break every obligation made by the pervious regime and founder further!

I understand that.

All I'm saying is that this is a horrible set of circumstances and the Greeks will lose and the banks who made bad bets on Greece will still sit at the table continuing to bet everything on Debt Roulette.

Spoiled brat Socialists Leaders will lead to the worst results: They will own the entire debt, won't be able to borrow more, won't revamp their programs or economy, will formally default and then what recourse would the lenders have?

Can they foreclose on Greece?

The simple fact of the matter is that, on average, the population of Greece is both lazy and greedy. They, like a lot of patently unprepared nations who were admitted into the EU (a once great institution; now a covern of socialist wastrels) shouldn't have been accepted into the company of nations who maintain a healthy attitude towards their economy and international reputation. If you want an example of how complacent the Greeks are towards their economy, look-up the Athens metro. It was built at the expense of the EU taxpayers (the ones who actually make meaningful contributions instead of just olives). Did you have to buy a ticket? No, of course not. You chose to pay under an "honesty policy". I'm sure you can guess how many of these idle bastards actually paid their way from A to B.

I know I'm tarnishing an entire nation/region with an incredibly broad brush, but I'm sick and tired of these halfwits blundering their way through this crisis with their eyes closed, ready to blame everyone but themselves and everyone else out on the streets of Greece.

One last thing. I'm honestly not trying to be funny, but if Greece does go down the toilet, I, as an EU taxpayer, demand that every Greek citizen who's complicit in this mess - whether they're a politician or one of the idle rioters who refuse to tighten their belts - be rounded up and flogged for their gross dereliction of duty and self-esteem. I'm being serious, too.

How are the lazy asses in the fallen "British Empire"? How's life under sharia in Britainistan?
I hear the Queen is being fitted for a burqa at Harrods.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

That's fantastic!

As much as I would hate it, I almost wish China would say that too us.

I wish that also, but China lends us money at high interest rates to spend on their imports it's a smart investment for them at the moment!

China buys Treasury debt, which has really low interest rates.
As far as I know, they don't lend money to American consumers to buy their goods.

Denigrating Greece when Britain is a bankrupt islimic shithole run by inbreds makes you look foolish.

 

[GHook93]

Germany might be the next socialist turn. I read that Merkel is getting pressure from socialist opposition. They are seeking to pander to the Muslim entitlement welfare abusing growing population to swing the vote to the socialist. It's amazing that German people would even consider taking a different route, considering the fact that the German economy is one of strongest in the country and despite high wages, they have managed to become and export nation! Yet they might go socialist and abandon everything that has made the great since WW II!

France took that turn, Spain and Italy are hopeless, Turkey is on the fast track to financial meltdown (spending for magnificent short-term gains, leads to long-term collaspe), the UK has their spending issues, Finland, Sweden and Norway seem to always look great on paper, but never powerhouses in the longterm scheme of things.

Then you have America! Obama even said it, in his lame duck term, he will have "more Flexibility!!!" Flexibility to buck the left? Not a chance. You will see outright increases on business (big and small), the wealth (Not millionaires, but $100K+), healthcare reform again (but to UHC), Union Power increased to the max, outright assault on oil, coal and natural gas, a global warming agenda pushed for "our children" (I can hear the speech now, It will be painful right now, but it's necessary for our children, grandchildren and the Planet") and a the Amnesty passed via the Dream Act etc. No telling what a lame duck Obama will do!

Are you Greek or something?
Britain is still a solvent sovereign nation. Greece is a bankrupt hole in the wall that is electing far right and far left politicians who promise to solve the problem by burning the place down.
They are not remotely comparable. Yeah, Britain screwed up allowing former colonists to immigrate in droves. Yeah, Britain has made lots of mistakes in domestic policy. But they are still a major economic power.

Trotting out the same tired joke about the Queen, the burqa and Harrods time after time makes you look desperate. And unoriginal.

Get some new material you lazy fucker.

 

[starcraftzzz]

I wish the U.S. would say the same thing to Israel.

I wish the moderators would ban your whiny hateful little ass.

oh why are youy crying?

 

[Katzndogz]

Unlike the British, most of the problems in Greece and now Portugal, is a refusal of the population to work. They have been raised to expect that socialism will see to their needs by taking from the rich, until the rich left or became as impoverished as the poor. In Portugal the population's despair is alleviated by its use of drugs.

Now that these nations are devoid of people who are willing to support the growing numbers of people who won't work, these countries are looking toward OTHER EU countries to provide support. These countries are refusing. Greece will either stop being socialistic or be forced out of the Eurozone.

 

[JStone]

Worst thing about speaking German is you have to spend your vacations in Germany

 

[LogikAndReazon]

The most important things they need are IMF, World Bank and UN emergency loans...

It takes a village to save socialists from themselves.........That and collective "bargaining" rights.......lol

Spot on. Britian still has many smart hard-working people, similar to Germany. Take those two out of the EU and the EU looks like Latin America!

Well you could go to Switzerland or Austria. Czechoslovakia or Hungary too for that matter.

Heck Germany isn't that bad itself. You ever see the size of the beer mugs during Octoberfest, makes my mouth water just looking at them!

Germany is the last hope in Europe! Merkel is a great leaders and the Germany people have more than made up from their crimes in the past.

Slovakia and Hungary are home to some of the finest women on this earth, going there with cash for a vacation isn't a bad idea.
