PIGS, incurred massive debt as the result of their “cradle to grave” social programs.

They done gone and ran out of other peoples money.

How do you say Road Warrior time in French and Greek?

Nobody with brains or talent is advocating stupid spending anywhere. Nontheless people should be aware that there is more than one point of view on the effect of government spending or lack thereof on economies.

The 41% here will be just as resisitant to austerity measures as the general public of Europe. Expect our train to continue hurtling down the track of collapse and prepare accordingly.

You know, I disapprove of borrowing too much and then welching - but the catastrophic "chose suicide" motif is wrong.

We heard the same thing about Iceland, which is now one of the happiest and most peaceful places in the world.

Renouncing unpayable debt is not suicide, because its the banks that die, not the debtors.

People, including many here, have accepted that national survival equals survival - no, profitability - of the money center banks, when it is those banks (in their present unconstitutional role) that are a major threat to that survival.

Money systems end all the time. Ours is terminally ill.

As soon as it dies, we can start to get well again.

Deep in the dark heart of decadence, which has Western Civilizaion in a death grip, lurks a death wish. Those infected with it long for death, destruction, annihilation. They find nothing in Western Civilization worth preserving or passing on to their children. Hell! They can't even muster the desire to have children!

We see it clearly in France. Many Americans also harbor this death wish.

Whether or not America will survive depends on how many Americans are infected with this death wish and how powerful it is.

The author gets the PIGS thing wrong. First it was Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greese, Spain yielding PIIGS. Now to quote Ichabod1 quoting uh, Ichabod1, it is Portugal, FRANCE, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain, for PFIIGS. PFIIGS. That’s what it is.
