    now you are cracking me up. Who was that crazy guy who drove the tow truck in the Movie "Cars"? he had some great quotes, like "You don't need to know where you are going as long as you know where you have been."

  2. Actually it's:
    --get a law degree
    --fail in the private sector
    --quick, start running for office(s)
    --get in power, start cutting deals, lavish stuff on yourself and your constituents
    --ignore the debt, it's not a real emergency until you have to borrow 60% of your payments, the banks are used to that...
    --retire on sweet pension

    I hear ya on "sweet pension" It pisses off any normal clear thinking hard working American, and they should all be exterminated just on the principle of the thing. But in terms of the trillions they spend as opposed to the billions they receive, it is all just small potatoes.

  4. Apparently he isn't familiar with the oft used term "race to the bottom".

    Half of these twits must have slept thru 2000 and 2008.

    race to the bottom? I want to win that race. Low exchange rates, low tax rates, first one to the bottom wins

    Anyone who keeps lending money to a spendaholic nation who now can't pay back such a big debt, must be crazy !!

    Instead of more bombs and bullets, how about spending some on water distribution, roads, pensioners etc.

    uh, we don't have "pensioners" over here in USA, that's an English thing

    we do have "prisoners" though, and it's a thriving business

    and next time you need your ass bailed out in a war call Greece

    Are you saying there are no old people in the USA ?
    Are they culled or something ?
