Greece, or California, or a few other US states?

Quote from tango29:

I ask again, do we not need to take care of our own problems, now before we jump into small countries around the world?

Let's say we need to fix our own problems first.. What do you suggest to be done?

"first" you fix what you can starting with your home base. there are plenty of solutions but congress has no balls. the US is the next europe. there are 50 bankrupt greece and irelands called the states ny, california etc. topped by a bankrupt central gov't in washington d.c.

cain had his 999 plan.
I have my 252525 plan.
cut taxes by 25%. fire 25% of all government workers. cut government salaries and pension by 25% and cut entitlements by 25%.
 
Quote from Eight:

California is what in relation to the rest of the US though... sort of an agricultural extension of Mexico with some Universities sprinkled around, what? The rest of the US won't necessarily have to pay to bail California out? Could anybody bail them out at the rate they are going?

An agricultural extension of Mexico with some Universities sprinkled around???

You are a complete idiot.
 
Quote from zdreg:

"They were given incentives to stop doing agriculture and de-industrialize in favor of German companies."

you are rewriting history. greeks were given money for agricultural output based upon the amount supposedly produced. they stole 100s of billions from northern european counties by inflating their output statistics.

what specific northern counties, who populated the ss brigates, are you talking about?

What 100s of Billions, you must be out of your mind. Southern farmers were paid insentives NOT TO farm. This is crazy. At the same time, Germany established politicians in Greece who lived long and worked in Germany, married to German ladies who then signed huge inflated contracts with Siemens and stole the monies of the people. Are you aware of these facts? When are you going to stop lying that anyone stole 100s of billions from the northen european countries who you present as angles when those countries have been milking the south with implanted corruption with the objective of driving it broke and buying it cheap?

When the laws of EU force you to quite what you have been doing as a farmer for generations and they tell you take little money to stop farming you are going to inflate because in the future you will not be able to make a living. That technique was used by Germans and EU to corrupt people.
 
Quote from tango29:

Just curious which is more important to the US?...

My arguement would be we need to dig our heads out of our butts here for the same reasons in those countries, but that our own country is really more important at this time, and the fixes should be done now....

Brother Tango, here's what is important in the USA:

1. Smartphones.
2. Tablet computers.
3. Keeping our politicians in office and wealthy.

In the USA most of the heads are stuck way too far up too many asses.
It would simply take more "jaws-of-life" machines than there are on earth to pull them all out.

The real question is: When will the worldwide depression begin?

US has had three months of falling retail sales. It needs the consumers to start spending to come out of recession. First the high end people, then the middle class have to feel confident about the future. That is not happening. Quite possibly, as goes the US so goes Euro/Chindia. Ergo: it's already begun.

True.

I believe they will probably keep replenishing balances with "monetary stimulus" until the world realizes that the problems are much more serious.

Greenspan was quoted, "I really didn't get it until very late.."

Bernanke will also have his Ah-ha moment. His plea is clear though.. Fiscal has to get its house in order.

You got to respect a member who makes a clear prediction here on ET!
Nobody wants to see a depression, except John Boner so he can chide Obama, but a depression could be the turnaround for the USA.
