What does he want her to do? To take German taxpayers dollars and spread them around? Sure recipe for disaster and reduction in productivity, not to mention being booted out of office. This Soros guy surely has many public opinions...

I have been saying the same thing in other sites. This "compromise" changed nothing.

And then people say there is room for diversity of ideas. Not with these people.

So much for these people being independent thinkers. It is now obvious they are a tool of the professional left.

And how is this not a default?

But we are being told everything is OK. That we should not worry. I have been saying for months that Europe will get worse before it gets better.

One has to love the irony that increasing taxes would not satisfy socialists.

The article is not exactly correct. If one goes back in history one can clearly see that president Sarkozy has always wanted to reform France. But he was stopped at every turn by the Socialist party and the unions. I guess now the president has decided he has nothing to lose and is pushing forward, even if it costs him his re-election. If that is the case that is a courageous position. If only an election ploy, shameless.

This article is incomplete. S&P also said that a smile increase of the debe ceiling will NOT guarantee the US keeps its ratings. Structure reforms are required.

And this is what we say are rational people that we should really talk to. Maybe we should rethink this?
