[quote:Anonymous Coward 18715700:MV8xOTk1NjgxXzMzNTI0MzMwXzU4NjQ3Q0NB] [quote:Marxist:MV8xOTk1NjgxXzMzNTIzOTQ2XzZFMDZGMjU3] Greece is forked as a consequence of paying off debts their banks ran up buying the funny money from the deregulated gamblers in America (as has happened with many of the Euros). Of course, numbskulls like you choose to ignore this fact, instead focussing on a taxpayers quite legitimate expectation that his tax contributions be spent on services devoted to his wellbeing, not on bailing out deregulated gamblers. [/quote] [b]No, it's the retardedness of socialist leftism that is at the butthole core of the problem. Argentina reneged on paying its debt to the big banking interests over 10 years, and has now voluntarily shut itself off from borrowing from outsiders. That and no one in their right mind who isn't Argentinian would loan a nickel to them. Think that country has ended up on the high side? Fuck, no. Their economy is beginning to tank big time. So bad that it's now illegal for anyone in Argentina to report the real rate of inflation. Their Big Brother government also has started cracking down on people who transfer money outside the country, or buy things that don't originate from Argentina. That POS country is ordering that all credit card transactions be closely monitored by banks to ensure that no one is breaking the law. The shitty Australian treasurer should be picked up by his balls and forced to live in Argentina.[/b] [/quote]
Original Message
Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan said “cranks and crazies” in the U.S. Republican Party are threatening economic growth as Congress remains deadlocked on tax increases and spending cuts set to take effect in January.
“Let’s be blunt and acknowledge the biggest threat to the world’s biggest economy are the cranks and crazies that have taken over the Republican Party,” Swan said in a speech in Sydney today. “Global markets are nervously watching the positioning of hardline elements of the Republican Party for signs that they will dangerously block reasonable attempts at compromise.”
