    KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF MY MEDICARE! GOD DAMN IT!


    tea baggers actually cheering for the credit downgrade and their role in it.

    are these people even aware of what they are cheering for?

    a basic IQ and minimal knowledge test before you are allowed to vote is starting to look pretty good right now...
    not complicated stuff.....I´m betting 'what year are we in?' would stump some of these Einsteins.

    You're from Portugal right? Do you understand I take anything you say regarding debt and spending with a considerable amount of salt?

    If you're a small group and your enemies credit you for something huge and coin a phrase after you, I'd celebrate too.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    at least I know the situation we are in is bad.......

    if ignorance is bliss those people are in heaven.

    P.S. - and you can listen to me as a Portuguese citizen that pays his taxes and puts in more than what he takes out of the state.
    I´ll take responsibility for mine if you do for yours.

    A man from a country who runs into the dozens of trillions of debt (With full monetary control!) says that anything coming from a man of a country whose finances were destroyed by the markets for no reason other than speculation, is to be discredited from the get go. Funny.
    BLARGH!

    First dozens of trillions of debt is a hyperbole. There are not multiple dozens of trillions of debt.

    Your telling me your economically suffering purely because of speculation in the markets.......... I daresay that portugal is in quite a bit more trouble than wht arose from market speculation.

    The US is in dire straits yes but a bail out (which would be impossible) is not needed.
