In the first weeks of 2010, there was renewed anxiety about excessive national debt. The CEE Council has argued that the predicament some mainland EU countries find themselves in today is the result of a combination of factors, including over-expansion of the eurozone, and a combination of the worst traits of Keynesian profligacy with rigid monetarist policy, tax evasion, [26] pursued by local policy makers and complacent EU central bankers.[27]
Some senior German policy makers went as far as to say that emergency bailouts should bring harsh penalties to EU aid recipients such as Greece. However, such plans have been described as unacceptable infringements on the sovereignty of eurozone member states[28] and are opposed by key EU nations such as France.
There has also been criticism against speculators manipulating markets: Angela Merkel stated that "institutions bailed out with public funds are exploiting the budget crisis in Greece and elsewhere".[29]
On 23 April 2010, the Greek government requested that the EU/IMF bailout package be activated.[30] The IMF has said it was "prepared to move expeditiously on this request".[31] The size of the bailout is expected to be €45 billion ($61 billion) and it is expected to take three weeks to negotiate, with a payout within weeks of €8.5 billion of Greek bonds becoming due for repayment.[32] On 27 April 2010, the Greek debt rating was decreased to BB+ (a 'junk' status) by Standard & Poor's amidst fears of default by the Greek government.[33][34] The Greek government was offering borrowers 15.3% on two-year government bonds.[35] Standard & Poor's estimates that in the event of default investors would lose 30–50% of their money.[33] Stock markets worldwide and the Euro currency declined in response to this announcement.[36]

Germans are killing the European economy with this EU bullshit. It's a new German takeover. They finally figured out the best way to take over the world isn't through invasion and guns, it's to destroy the countries from the inside out financially.

it isn't directly obamas fault... or george bush's... but we are continuing on a dangerous road. At some point people will get tired of their quality of life going down because of all the free loaders.

How is it either GW's or Obamas fault at all?The EU which no american president had a vote on seems to be turning into a failure.Some how you're tying this to socialism but that only makes sense if you know 1 or two things about europe.Its way more complicated than that.

The problem is the free loaders are going to be in the majority before long. Already 47% don't pay any income tax.

Its not a conspiracy but a fact. You can only burden the middle class so much before they get tired of it.

Chaos, crisis, and revolutions are excellent money making oppertunities. Pun intended. Too bad we're too big of a country to ever let this happen.
Also paying income tax is wong.

O'Reilly's tax falsehoods: 50 percent "don't pay any federal income tax," estate tax "unconstitutional"
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly falsely asserted that "50 percent of Americans don't pay any federal income tax" and that therefore "the other half is waging the whole war on terror." He also claimed that the estate tax is "unconstitutional," an assertion the Supreme Court rejected in a 1921 decision that has been repeatedly upheld over the years.
While O'Reilly claimed that half of all Americans do not pay income taxes, figures from the Tax Policy Center show that only 37.2 percent of total tax units -- single people or married couples -- pay either zero or negative taxes, or do not file at all, leaving 62.8 percent who do pay taxes.

How many of the remaining 37% of people who don't pay taxes are seniors living on a fixed income or people who make less then 25k a year?You shitbirds love a good talking point but never bother to check on what you're spouting out.

Grappling to contain record deficits, President Barack Obama is seeking to end a middle-class tax break he once said would be permanent.
The $3.8 trillion budget request rolled out by the White House on Monday would renew the Making Work Pay tax credit for fiscal 2011, but then would have it sunset.

I've noticed how you like to slink away when I smack you down.Let me guess, you heard from Jimbo at the A & P how half the damn country doesnt pay taxes.Any defense or is it safe to assume you're just a real dumb motherfucker?
