Republicans introduce bill to prevent Euro bailout

[theDoctorisIn]

This is nothing but a publicity stunt. Mike Pence, one of the smarter Republicans left, should be ashamed of himself. The U.S. is not poised to join the EU in any deal for the IMF to bail out Greece. The EU countries are, however, and it is all clearly spelled out here with absolutely zero mention of the United States.

The irony, though, is that IMF funds will not be taxed back to even the EU taxpayer, and although highly unlikely that the US would also seek IMF funds for that purpose, they would also not be charged back to the American taxpayer. First of all, the deal with the IMF represents guarantees by the EU of the IMF loan to Greece in the event they default. Second, the U.S. pays a fixed percentage (about 18%) as a member of the International Monetary Fund, and that doesn't change no matter what country finds itself in troubled waters.

Fearmongering and lies are the only platform of the GOP. Pathetic.

Huh?? Obama called Angela Merkel and insisited that $600 billion wasn't enough! He insisted that it needed to be AT LEAST $1 Trillion!!! Our part is $54 Billion!! And we don't even have any money!!

Just making things up, are we?

Or do you have a source?

 

[PubliusInfinitum]

Sounds reasonable to me... We can't even fix our own country yet we are trying to fix another country????? WTF?

Right Now - Republicans introduce bill to prevent Euro bailout

ROFLMNAO...

The bad news here is that the GOP doesn't have the votes to do a damn thing to stop it.

This is what it must be like to be locked in the engine of a train watching some lunatic slam the throttle full speed as it nears the end of the line...

Hey... No need to worry about it. November's comin'... So it'll all be over SOON!

 

[007]

Oh no, and just when the world was starting to love us again.

Don't worry Sherry... I'm sure the kenyan has another apology tour in him to trash the United States again.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Why not take that money and.... <gulp> put it back into social security?

Do you have any idea of what you're talking about?

There is NO proposal that would send American taxpayer dollars to bailout the EU.

Mike Pence is making political hay out of nothing, and you're lapping it up.

Sure... Will this do?

"That call was part of what a senior Treasury Department official called “one long conversation” with European leaders, who over an extraordinary weekend of late nights and early mornings overcame German resistance and agreed to a wholesale expansion of the bloc’s political and financial mission. Bending the rules, they backed the stability of all 16 countries that use the euro with loan guarantees adding up to nearly $1 trillion. "

You really don't know how the IMF works, do you? Nor do you seem to understand how the EU "bailout" is structured.

There's no bailout involved. The IMF is guaranteeing loans from the EU to EU states.

(that's the International Monetary Fund, not the Impossible Missions Force)

Since the US is a member of IMF, then I guess somewhere down the line the money might have come from us. But as a member of the IMF, we pay a set percentage into it, not a "pay as you go" situation.

By the way, aren't you supposed to be out in the gulf heppin' out people to get their boats in safe harbor? I've seen you on this board last night, this morning, this afternoon. Whassup with that? You went to great lengths to tell us all yesterday about BP's extravagant humanitarian efforts to help out and how proud you were to work alongside. Done already?
