jvaski: Likely we'll all be entirely broke and unemployed before most Americans embrace anything remotely similar to change

You mean your back fired plan,don't you.?
Conrad73: You and JV fell for it hook line and sinker,so eager to blame Bush you two even forgot who controlled the Pursestrings during the last two years of the second Term!
Love when a Plan comes together!
Maybe now you could have a Peep and see who mentioned Bush!

Ladefoss23: obvious as it may seem ,This is an opinion pole. there's no intention of stiring or trolling.


The real change will come when the West stops pretending and the East stops believing(for its own short term ends)that Western currency is worth the paper it isn't printed on.

And when the change comes you'll absolutely hate it.

chris27292729: Am glad to hear US is trying hard to keep Greece afloat,fearing the chain reaction occuring,will bring down the US economy as well.Am sure you have read the latest warning ,by the Fitch (was Fitch??)grading agency."Put your economy in order or else"



Not just the US I'm afraid. The UK is about to dip yet again into it's diminishing coffers to prop up your country.

The Greek crisis could cost my country £366 billion,so don't go spouting off about other people's economy,put you own house in order first.scold

Are you sure??? UK does not use as currency the EURO €,Am not sure if your country is a contributor,to resque Greece.- You put it right "diminishing UK coffers",if Greece goes down, with the chain reaction will fall down,a few EU countries possibly yours as well.

Please Google ""external debt per country",and am sure, you know, why the 19th country(Greece)on the list, is about to default,and the 2nd one (UK)not as yet.

The operative word here is "could" which is what I put in my post. No we do not use the euro,but we are in the EU. George Osborne is requesting that we do not bail your country out,but by the rule of thumb I would imagine that we will have to contribute,and the figure refers to the possible losses.

The potential devastation of Banks and other City institutes could be equal to 24 per cent of our annual national output,which equates to £14,640 per family in the UK.

I'm sure the British public will be delighted with this piece of information.handshake

The idea is,they will try their best,to bail out Greece to avoid the "Domino Priscipal". In this morning news, European Central Bank President,Jean-Claude Trichet stated that the ECB is in "Red alert" from now on,trying to prevent the Domino.And the money given to Greece is not charge free,ECB and IMF will get their money back,with a low interest rate.

The main problem is that if Greece doesn't get it's financial act together, and cannot pay back any monies loaned THEN we are all up the creek without a paddle.

There is no IF, is a MUST,for any country,been near default to pay back the capital loaned,sometimes extented than originally due,from old loans,though sometimes with redused interests rates.The new loans from IMF+ECB to Greece,they have,very much redused interest rates.So not to worried ,if UK loans money to Greece,you'll get your money back,as Greece constantly restracturing its economy with unprecidented cut backs.-Besides if we'll default you have the " Duke of Blunder" in your Royal Court to tell us "We Greeks,screwed it up".wave

I guess people don't realise how hard it is living in a country suffering financially. We are afloat at the moment but I'm keeping my cup handy so that I can bale out.rolling on the floor laughing
