Politician - the world's easiest job - Promise them anything and give them fiat. How hard can that be?
Poly=many
tic=bloodsucker
Forcing european gov to stop wasting money is hte best service Germany is rendering to the citizens of Europe. That is a unique opportunity to reign in government spending. Politicians in France and Spain and Italy hates Merkel, but she will go down in history as a formidable figure who arrested the madness of governments imposing slavery on their citizens through taxes and inflation. Go Merkel (And I am French!)
I'm a little confused by positions our posters take on Merkel actions. On one hand everybody is criticizing Bernake for mindless printing and on the other Merkel is under attack from all sides for her unwillingness to do it. So what is the best solution according to them, "print, no print, print, no print ......." stance? She's doing it.
The Krauts should have canceled Deadbeat Europe's credit cards a year ago.
Accounts Receivable woulda been pissed
The whole thing is one big clusterfuck. Ours is not as complex, just bigger.

Too bad the [F|M]erkel is deaf and lame.Otto von Bismarck
Bismarck is a treasure trove of quotes.
And yet she knows how to play the German angst when she can benefit from it.
Sink the Bismerkel !
Brilliant !!!!

Sisyphus rolling the epic Euro debt can. Awesome!!!!! [edit] Atlas or Sisyphus?
It's Sisyphus, and you're correct it is awesome.
Edit: Oooops, it's say atlas in the blurb. I see why you said that now.
but Atlas didn't push anything up a hill ?
Sisyphus didn't work for the rhythm...yeah,...that's the ticket! (not to mention I didn't know it was suppose to be Sisyphus!!!)
The can is now popping it's lid
The Eorozone debt can't be hid
The montain's too steep
The danger too deep
Atlas is starting to skid
The Limerick King
I hope it is Atlas and not Sisyphus pictured. Once the can rolls back down to the bottom, I hope we don't just shoulder it and start pushing it uphill again. Maybe we will learn something from this huge mess, but I am a bit cynical.
The lesson has already been learned and repeated several times.
Start a war and distract the masses from the real problem. Blame someone else. Kill off millions to help unemployment. Destroy infrastructure to create capital expenditures. Tighten totalitarian control. Wait for masses to grind themselves out in austerity and war. Step in, pick up any remaining assets for pennies on the dollar, and start ponzi all over again.
That's the "reset" everyone is waiting for.
Outstanding duo! This should be a king-sized.
Oh...you mean the BISMerkel
;p
... grab the hem of his garment.
Is that where the gold is sewn in?
the germans are giving away their own right to life and going the way of iran.

Iranians have a right to live, too. They didn't steal a country, nor attack any oil-rich neighbors.
