Re: For me number 1 fans! - irish mortgage crisis.
my goodness I would have checked in on you sooner if I'd know you would be so sensitive to the truth, I must warn you though, be careful with this story it is a 'headline' and you know how you feel about 'headlines' haha what a tool, you're probably the only person in that country who deserves it but even by those standards I don't really think anyone deserves such things. Even twats like yourself. I have to admit though it does astonish me how anyone could house a god complex and be so self deprecating inside that tiny little brain of yours, I imagine no one will ever really know

The appalling state of their economy? The Out Of Control Spending On Every Possible Level? (Levels Which Would Make the Average Lefty in the USA blush by comparison, lol.) The appalling sense of fucking entitlement that the citizens seem to have? The uber reliance on the State As Mommy Figure and Jesus Substitute To Cure All Ills - Which Costs a Fucking Fortune And Which Translates Into Taxing People Even More - If That's Even Fucking Possible??? see: The French Are Lazy Bastards thread for more info. ffs. Everytime there's even a mere whisper that the government might cut back on fertilizer subsidies by .00067%, every fucking dumbass French farmer with a tractor converges on Paris to protest. Meanwhile the debt climbs and there hasn't been a sweeping roll of new business investment in France since around nineteen fucking sixty two.dum wrote:
So what is your problem with the France benchmark ?
I'd no fucking idea who he was prior to this thread but, having scanned several of his past articles, you are correct in that he made the predictions round about 4 years ago? But after that, his 'solutions' are no different than Paul Krugman from the NYTimes: Enormous amounts of government regulation coupled with forcing the banks and lenders to give loans to just about every douchebag under the sun. When a huge number of those loans eventually default, the new regulations prevent foreclosure proceedings so guess who's on the hook for the cost? The taxpayers. yippee. It's nothing but an enormous social services program to get people into houses that will eventually be paid for by the government ie: the taxpayers. Oh, and the economy goes into further fucking decline, businesses continue to move to China and India, and pretty soon every bank is run by the State. Oh, and let us please not forget that the State/Government is usually made up of former businessmen and bankers who now are simply playing the same game but from a different angle.dum wrote:
For the record, Morgan Kelly has been *bang on* in every other article he's written about this shit in the last couple years.
I'm not against regulation in the least. While I'm a Flaming Libertarian, I'm all for uber stern yet exceedingly simple lending rules and regs. The problem is that there only needs to be about 3 rules, carefully worded; at around 2 paragraphs each. Here's a summary:
1. Banks/Lenders can no longer partner with investment bankers to package mortage deals and sell derivatives. It was Clinton that repealled the Glass-Steagall Act. To date, Obama has not called for the unequivocal return to Glass-Steagall. His administration's banking reform act does fuck all to prevent banks and investment houses from continuing to muddy the mortage waters. omfg. O. M. F. G. o...m....f.......g
2. The CEO, other chief officers, and the entire board of directors for all Banks/Lenders will be held financially and criminally liable for the practices of their institutions. Prior to the early 70s, when complicated new corporation laws/rules/standards started to be inacted, CEO/Presidents WERE actually on the hook. Incidently, every Republican/Democrat since then has done virtually nothing to turn this around. Not one. Not even close. Dummy and shell corporations, CEOs and Presidents removed 3 times over from the actions of their companies.
3. No bailouts for banks. No bailouts for homeowners. No bailouts period. If mommy isn't there to catch you when you fall and skin your knee, maybe you'll be a tad more careful.
Of course, the answer for all you fucking Socialists is an ENDLESS series of complicated rules and regulations and laws that only serve to make the government MORE fucking powerful (omfg) and drive businesses to their fucking knees. The horrid part is that it's done in the name of 'protecting' the little guy who, incidently, no longer has a job and no hope for the future but can at least get on the internet and post 'DOWN WITH DIRTY CORPORATIONS!!!' until the cows come home.

Japan? No, not really.
China? They own a good part of our debt. Which, if I were them at this point, would be a concern.
Can anyone say 'default'?

The Obama Administation reads like a Goldman Sachs' phone directory:
Larry Summers
Timothy Geithner
Rahm Emanuel
Gary Gensler
Mark Patterson
Elena Kagan
All who either worked at Goldman, or have deep connections
This is why those of you with such faith in goverment are laughable and should kill yourselves now.
Of course, we could always pass more laws preventing these kinds of people from serving....? But then we'd have to create 18 new departments with 4000 employees; which will, of course, grow fucking exponentially every year.

About Italy, its estimated that about 20 to 30 percent of their GDP is black economy.
That is: no taxes, no government at all.
So again, its obvious you dont have a clue what you are talking about.

Are you purposely trying to not have a point with all that nonsense, or was that the best lead-in you had before calling me clueless?
I mean, in the future you can just skip all the fucking drivel and get right to the clueless part.
