Default EU chief: U.S. economic plans ‘a way to hell’

I'd have to agree with him.

The Czech head of the European Union presidency says the U.S. economic rescue plans are “a way to hell.”

Debt level in the US is skyrocketing - with zero perspective to ever pay them back. Skyrocketing inflation will be next. Who pays for it? China, Europe, Russia.

Due to the events in Prague, the Czechs are in a position to bring down this unthinkable dictate of Lisbon. Their state president Klaus has my full support for it, not only because of the intentional but also for much of his solid and well-founded criticism of the Lisbon dictate. It does not increase democracy, but it slowly kills it. Plus the fact how treacherous they attempt to implement it agaimnstt he will of a majority of people in europe, and enforce it against their will, making mockery of the No-votes we had so far.

So: free beer for the Czechs. There are not many chances left to prevent this madness. The EU train is on the completely wrong tracks too long already. Too bad that the correction is being delayed right until and into the economic crisis.

Isn't Topolanek the same guy who had his government ousted by the Czech parliament with a no confidence vote?

Yes. Many say his failure was planned and orchestrated by preiddrent Klaus, a strong euro critic. I share much of his criticism. Ihe internals of Czech national policy otherwise I am not interested in.

And before you the Dutch. But strangely that damn thing still is alive. And you Irish are about to get asked again, too. Your government already sent signals they just want a good profitable deal for their agreement. That your people will say No again, I am not sure. The pressure of the EU is immense.

I would salute your flag if you let the Lisbon coup crash again - something I usually never do, not even with our own flag.

It isn't up to the government though is it , and the current government is too **** scared to face the public on any significant vote .
The Biffo can send all the signals he likes , he can agree as much as he wants , it won't make any difference at all with a public vote on anything that muppet proposes .
