Is Europe Lost?

[Cruella]

It doesn't have anything to do with Euro. Corrupt politicians buying votes with loaned money is the problem. All they care is another term and more opportunity to stuff their bank accounts.

Europe's biggest problem is socialism. Pretty soon you run out of other people's money. That's why those who can are planning to leave France with their new 75% tax rate. Once they and their money are gone, watch France become Greece.

The whole of Europe is on the edge of financial collapse. The Euro always has been an artificial fiat currency.
Simple as that. What backs the Euro?

 

[Aus22]

The latest GFC started in the USA as have all the other depression. Despite what you think the USA has never had Socialism.
The problem in Europe is that no single country backs the Euro. No country can go bankrupt because the government potentially owns alk the assets of the country. But with the Euro no country assets back it up.

Barack Obama asks eurozone to keep Greece in until after election day

American officials are understood to be worried that if they decide Greece has not done enough to meet its deficit targets and withhold the money, it would automatically trigger Greece's exit from the eurozone weeks before the Presidential election on 6 November.

They are urging eurozone Governments to hold off from taking any drastic action before then – fearing that the resulting market destabilisation could damage President Obama's re-election prospects. European leaders are thought to be sympathetic to the lobbying fearing that, under pressure from his party lin Congress, Mitt Romney would be a more isolationist president than Mr Obama.

Cruella, this is not "socialism". These European countries just have a very secure safety net for people, unlike the USA.
Their current economic problems aren't the result of this alleged socialism . The problem in the USA is that we have the exact opposite
of socialism or Marxism, where if you're down on your luck, you're basically screwed . And if Romney and Ryan are elected
this November, they're going to do everything in their power to dismantle and destroy our already inadequate safety net for
people down on their luck, and this will be disastrous .
Just giving all the tax breaks to the wealthy won't create jobs or increase general prosperity in America . Conservatives in
America are terrified that Obama is trying to "redistribute wealth" . But heck, the republican party has been doing this for ages.
But as reverse Robin Hoods, staealing from the poor and the middle class to give to those already rich .
So what do we have in the uSA? A tiny handful of superrich people and millions of Americans out of work through no fault of their own,
struggling to keep their heads above water, people who have been stuck on welfare for ages and are unable to find good jobs ,
and overall misery . Think I'm a Marxist or communist ? Heck,no ! I believe in capitalism and free markets, but also in a FAIR market .

Well--of course you are a communist.
Look up the definition of the term.
So is Obama and the "democrat" party.
And--gee--what a surprise--a man spawned from two generations of hardened communists--turns out to be one!
Who knew?

Typical right-winger. Always assuming any one who doesn't buy right-wing politics is a socialist,Marxist and communist .
You don't even know what these things are. If Obama is a Marxist and communist, why hasn't he done the same things
comunist ;leaders of the past have done,such as 1. turning America into a totalitarian dictatorship. 2. Arrested and
sumarily executed all those who oppose him. Why are Rush Lamebrain, Michael Sewage, Glenn Dreck,
Ann Dolter, Sean (dumber than a manatee) Hannity , and all the other right-wing pundits still bad-mouthing him
to their heart's content? 3. Why hasn't he closed all the churches and synagogues in America and executed all the priests,ministers and Rabis?
4. Why hasn't he had any one's guns confiscated? 5. Nationalized all the businesses in the US? and so forth. (And don't tell me
he's going to do this if he wins a second term this November).
Gee, for a communist dictator, Obama sure is a wimp ! Why hasn't he slaughtered millions of innocent people like nay self-respecting communist dictator ?

not paying attention are you Bob....
1. He's granted himself absolute control over all communication and bought a fleet of drones to take care of any real problems he might have with the population.
2. Assassination Committee.
3. Too busy wrecking the economy for niceties.
4. Easier said than done.
5. well there is this

In Pueblo, Colo., on Thursday, Obama said, “Now, I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry.”

If you think Obama is bad, wait until Romney and Ryan are elected, that is if they are , which I hope won't happen. I guarantee you, these two schmucks will make our current problems look like a picnic .
They will increase poverty and unemployment by leaps and bounds, try to give more power to the awful religious right ,make the rich richer and the poor poorer and it easier and easier for people in the middle class to slide helplessly into poverty . And that's just th etip of th eiceberg. It won't be pretty . Be warned !

See what i mean. It wont change a bit. Its still gonna be politics as usual until the 3rd party steps in. You just watch the Covention deligates wont reject the Romney and Ryan ticket. Same with the DNC deligation they wont reject Obama and Biden ticket nether. We need Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich ticket as Tea Party ticket then youll see real change.
