Europeans such as the French are rising up against this notion that austerity is the way out of the cureent situation.  Here is an intersting video on that idea of austerity:

Re: Caltrek2 . I hadn't even heard of Mother Jones , until you mentioned it . Probably better than Huffington ! And a great cartoon by Mark Fiore depicting the downward economic spiral through financial ignorance ! It reminds me of the Wall Street Futures Trades , or Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Float , where everyone cries 'Wolf' when the investment goes South , where Everyone's Greedy , but is unwilling to admit to their own accountability !   


All Trekkers Welcome !

Nope cutting back and spending only what you have will never solve the problem of having too much debt. The best solution is to make Italy borrow €25 billion of non-existent money at a 7% interest rate and give it to Spain at a rate of 3% and call it bailout. All so Spain doesn't need to cut spending. Daniel Hannan compared this to Europe giving itself a blood transfusion from one arm to the other using a leaky pipe. Europe is bleeding to death.


/ Caltek why doesn't your video mention the Irish people voted 'yes' to the Fiscal Union Treaty that requires austerity? If the Irish oppose austerity why have they voted for it?


// Here's UKIP leader Nigel Farage on the bailouts (seeing as they'd be no bailouts if spending was cut it's relevent): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN_1mF-3JTI&feature=youtu.be

I've never understood the ProRegressive mindset of "solving" debt with even more debt.....  And of course forcing the competent to pay the incompetent so that the incompetent can compete against the competent with the competent's own money...
