Whoa, a person who actually blames Obama !! :eek: Looks like Scataphagos is my buddy !! The first black President is an utter disaster.
He revealed himself as an ENEMY to everything America stands for... as well as being a TOTAL DICK... during the campaign. Unfortunately, his lies and the promise of "free ice cream" blinded voters to the reality. PS.. I hated Bush too... just not as much as Obama.
Think about that. Bush starts 2 wars, killing literally hundreds of thousands of people and sending thousands American man to their death and a multitude of that to a life of disability.... Yet... You hate Obama more because of his spending habits. In the end I think this is a healthy and necessary evolution. Americans needed to feel the consequences of the politicians they support themselves in order for a change to take place wouldnt you agree?
Recall watching a recent story on cable... some guy said he was involved with "structuring Argentina's latest sovereign debt default". The agreed upon solution.... 1. SLASH Government spending. 2. SLASH tax rates. 3. Sovereign debt holders had to take a 50% hair cut. After the reduced taxes and reduced government spending, Argentina is said to be doing much better... back to growth without present concerns about inflation. Will America be forced to do something similar? If so, how soon? (Can you imagine if US Treasury holders lost 50% of their value in a settlement decree?)
The simple questions to be answered, and the root of the problem: Who has lend America $13 Trillion? Why? Who collects the interest on that Capital? Who has the authority to create UnitedStatesDollars and sells it to America for profit (interest)? And why? That profit is a very nice risk free continuous income stream out of the country's treasury into the pockets of the ultimate lender(s) The same goes for just about any country out there. There is only one solution to all this.
""Greece's 33,000 licensed truck drivers went on strike this week to protest government plans to open up their industry and issue new licenses. ( The new licenses, or permits, will be MUCH cheaper than the one's these truck drivers had to pay to operate in Greece..and they're PISSED!!!!) The government is required to make the changes under the terms of loan packages from the European Union and International Monetary Fund."" ""The Greek government ordered the country's armed forces to help deliver fuel as truck drivers voted to continue a contentious strike, state media reported. Officials said Friday that military vehicles would be used to ensure the supply of fuel to airports, power plants and hospitals, and navy boats could help carry tanker trucks to islands, according to official news agency ANA."" http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/07/30/greece.trucking.strike/
Unions ultimately destroy their host. They are parasites and they eventually kill any host organization that allows them to form.
It's because Greece is a pissant little country of no real significance to a power like the US. Let the Germans fret about it, it's their Marks - sorry, Euros - at risk.
