That is not the US's problem; it will be the problem of whoever insists on
being long US Assets (like European pension funds), but the average American
can rightly ignore the deficit!

It never fail to annoy people that one *can* be irresponsible without being
punished. To annoy double, one should have fun while being irresponsible.

The American image of Guns, Petrol guzzling cars, Booze and combining all
three, shooting the *** out of stuff in the desert must really annoy the
puritan have-not's that are left behind.

Who is in denial:

The last time the US economy really blew up, it was *Europe* that got itself
into two wars and got about 70 Million killed over it. If/When it blows
again, I predict that the Muslims will get an entirely new perspective on
the Jews from their shared experience and that we will easily beat the 100
Million target too. And that the US will eventually put a stop to it.

The failing of the "wellfare state" - we tax wages heavily to spend money on
"wellfare" which - like the magic cauldron -is alledged to create all good
things like Job's. At the same time we tax tobacco and spirits to get *less*
of it ... ??

It could not be that taxes reduces jobs, which then requires more taxes to
pay for unemployment, which then creates more "wellfare" errr people on
"wellfare" - now could it? Of Course Not, Politicians NEVER, EVER make
mistakes(!)!!.

Europe is failing - France is just a precursor - and that's we are so busy
whining over America all the time; It is easier to moan over other peoples
behaviour (which we cannot change) than to do something about one's own
mess - especially when one has carefully created the mess over many years of
dilligent effort.
