EU deal announced - Page 12

In greece i have hard strong rumours that Mr Papademos will substitute him and become head of government until elections. Still not sure yet.
And waiting confirmation of elections in 19th of February

I agree that Europe doesnt exist anymore as a concept in economy but and also that the idea of europe that founding fathers had its getting away day by day.

Wouldn't it be easier if Greece simply left the Eurozone and everyone just cut their losses?

I would really hope to some extent. Can't stand to this anymore. Now 3rd day with negotiations breakdowns for new government.
Now that i think of it. It won't be easier, it will be surely tough all the same.
What interests do these actions that will be made reflect/represent the interests of Greece/its people or someone's else/ outsiders/few people? Still we are a mess, in many aspects now. Have to learn from it and pay for the mistakes . The problem is that we will have to pay for such mistakes and its inevitable, unless we put such weight to others( hope not) . Anyways we just postponed( maybe still doing) deeper trouble for next generations.
Though firstly all politician class have to make a radical change of route. Political class mainly ( other parts too) need to a refresh and reorganise (Basically the first thing that Greece needs IMHO since years)
anyways now bipolarism i think its still hurting country: part in the PASOK-ND, are talkking for the seat, rather else.... anyways whatever they do , seems inneffective.

Well, that too, but I was thinking "Eww" as in "yuck" when you see something disgusting.

'Disgusting' is probably a better descriptive term

Lest anyone things are only bad in Europe, it appears that Jefferson County in Alabama has voted to file for bankruptcy. This will be the biggest municipal bankruptcy in US history (Chapter 9 is the one for minus) -- over $40 billion.

It's like we're all Greece and we're all Italy now. Uncle Sam has $10.2T debt (and rising like a rocket) held by the public outstanding, total $15T (just under, but it will cross $15T in a few days). Imagine what 7% rates would do to us. And its coming if we don't mend our ways. Bondzilla is coming for us all.

Seems an easy solution to a complicated problem.

Shouldn't the bankers who cooked The PIIGS books be held accountable? After all, it was EU endorsed banksters who did the audits on these nations before letting them in. The more nations in it the stronger, so we cook the books and hope we can equalize elsewheres.

More "blame the victim"? (like they do here in America)

Greece was wearing a short skirt, she wanted it.

The Greeks just made the architect of the Greek Euro membership their new prime minister.

Any questions?
