So now it's a three way. Do you have anything to say on the actual topic, or are you just here for the # violations?

Ripsnorting isn't a sin you know. Why write a whole page when it has already been written. Do you have any insight to share or just more bull?

I know who this is.    :rofl

Had I made a proper quote it would have had more credibility, not less (as some people seem to think). An oversight on my part perhaps, but the essential truth remains: Greece's economical problems are entirely their own doing. The EU has tried to help, in their own fumbling bureaucratic way.

The question MrRiplEy[H] is the same as in that very post where I quoted André Cabannes, a PhD at Stanford University: Offer up some insight of your own.

Do you think Cabannes is wrong? If so, what is he wrong about?

On the other hand if you just want to continue romancing me I suggest we get a room.

I posted several posts of my OWN dude. Or you do accept only copypaste?

You're continuing to miss the point. It's not the bad governing of the Greeks but the moneytary unions push for extreme savings that has collapsed the Greek economy. People are not having enough money to eat anymore and all the while none of the problems are solved, the debt is even deeper since collapsing economy doesn't produce any money to pay off the debt. People get desperate -> extremist parties get wide popularity. Just like 1930s Germany, people were starving enough to see the method in Hitlers madness.

Really? I'd say any government that lived beyond its means for an extended period of time (ie significant deficits from tax revenue) is bad governing. Greece effectively lied their way into the EU to get lower interest loans, borrowed more money, blew it out on strippers and blow and are broke again. Can't blame the germans for that.

The only difference between communism and the socialist crazy party that one a near majority of seats then formed a coalition government with a fractional party is opposition. This new party is Karl Marx all the way. If they get their way your summer villa on the beach will be right up their with Cuba.

I was tired. More than a couple errors though I stand behind the bad spelling. Cuba or bust!

If you don't believe me, perhaps you believe your own president who just said in an interview to CNN that the central bank of EU should stop punishing the greeks with its savings demands that are collapsing the quality of life in the country. But you're probably going to call him stupid too, aren't you? LOL!

My feeling is that Greece had a couple of choices:  it could take pain now and get it over with or it could kick the can down the road and take more pain later.  It is in the process of choosing the 2nd option.  My opinion is that the largest Keynsian experiment in the history of the world is going to end in a catastrophe for more than Greece.  I feel that way based on reading:

This Time is Different, by Reinhart and Rogoff
Basic Economics, by Sowell
The Return of Depression Economics, by Krugman
The Big Short, by Lewis
Endgame, by Mauldin and Tepper
Code Red, by Mauldin and Tepper
The Death of Money, by Rickards

The world is going through an enormous experiment between (1) people who believe that a way out of debt includes creating more debt and diverting capital from private enterprise toward government projects and bureaucracy and (2) people who believe the exact opposite.

I'm in group 2.

I wouldn't call him stupid - socialist, yes.  I believe the current US pres will go down in history as the worst.
