Remember that next time someone tries to sell you a Gold backed currency or other crazy deflationary currencies like that. They are the thing of nightmares.
The Tyranny of the Majority it is. Spoken like a true German. The thing is dear chum, there's always someone bigger than you out there. You just blew out any sort of comrades you could have had. Only the lackeys remain. Those will leave as soon as the shit hits the fan.
_they_ had to implement drastic reforms to even be allowed in So did everyone else. Including Greece.
Citizens all over the EU are unwilling to pay anymore without vast concessions by Greece. It's each man for himself and God for all. Maybe the people of Eastern Europe will welcome the Russians with open arms as liberators again.
Of course they did. That's the result of deflation policies like the ones imposed in Greece. Unemployment and a drop in GDP. See Brünning in 1930 Weimar Germany as an example. If the Germans didn't know themselves this they were stupid in the extreme. But the thing is they probably know this its just an asset stripping move.
And either way, will Greeks step up their national sport of dodging taxes?
Of course they will. It's unfair taxation. I guess you never saw any Robin Hood movie did you? It's based on historical fact. That part about Prince John lying that he was collecting taxes to save his brother, King Richard, from some Germanic jail while he was funneling the money to his own pockets.
Yes no more can kicking. It will just be like an IMF loan to an African country. The African country gets asset stripped for 30 years and pays the original loan value 3x or 5x over in interest alone. Then after those 30 years the debt is forgiven. Such magnanimity!
Well in that case maybe they shouldn't have bailed out their own banks like that in the first place. Had the debt been written down from the beginning this would have been over and done with now.
No they aren't voting for extremists because of "double standards". They are voting for them because EU policies are full of fail and incompetent. The beatings will continue until morale improves.
No there was another way to do this. Raise German salaries according to the growth in GDP. The problem is actually that Greece raised salaries as GDP grew while Germany froze salaries.
"do what's needed?" just like the invasion of the Ruhr by France after WWI when the Germans stopped payments?
Unfortunately for the Germans the Greeks have the same amount of active soldiers and a lot more military hardware than they do. So if tried that they would just get their butts kicked.
They have increased their primary budget surplus purely due to borrowed money.
Do you even know what a primary budget surplus is? It means they can pay all running expenses with the tax income.
You are falling into the No True Scotsman Fallacy the EU leaders have been pushing. Regardless of how well Greece did at meeting their dictates for them, if there is a problem, it is always because Greece did not follow orders. Look at this chart Krugman made: http://interactive.guim.co.uk/...
Then keep telling me austerity is sound economy policy. There is a trend in that chart and it doesn't matter which country you are looking at. Austerity is economic cannibalism. That is what it is.
And your comment about number of civil servants is a LIE. Germany has more civil servants per capita than Greece. You don't know WTF you what you are talking about: http://www.dgaep.gov.pt/upload...
Read the chart at the bottom of page 9. And that chart was produced before Greece started firing public servants because of the Troika demands. Germany has done no such thing.
As usual you drone off LIES you hear elsewhere and never bothered checking the facts yourself.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually yes they are. Part of the agreement is that Greece have to cut wages and pensions by a certain percentage.
The "reforms" were done and the results are shit because the remedy is shit. It has been tried again and again and it has worked nowhere.
No taxation without representation. Ever heard of that one? Would you have liked if the US was in a similar position vis-a-vis the IMF or whatever?

Hahah. Nope. Check the EUR/USD and EUR/CHF rates. The market is speaking and people have been voting with their feet for like a year now.

In the end he had to cave and sign the Magna Carta. That was actually pretty tame in comparison to what could have happened...

Yes. Fear will keep the systems in line. Those motley old fools discussing politics in the parliament are not necessary anymore.

At full throttle!
He has a lot of options. The best one is to register his own trademark. Plus he could use compound names. Remember "Microsoft Windows"?
Register a company name, or whatever, and then just suffix it with the name you want to use. I your app is important enough register the name too.
Moons don't orbit the Sun.
We should just call Pluto SOL-9. Earth is SOL-3.
No way this is going to work with current materials. ICF is low density and there are no lightweight low-volume radiation shields available.
The original fission powered proposals from the 1950s-1960s have more of a chance to actually work. This proposal is a Rube-Goldberg contraption.
Actually this is more like Project Daedalus in that it uses ICF to a degree.
