Greece isn't to Socialistic, it's too Republican

The social safety net has been in operation for years without bankrupting Greece. It took the "free market" Banks to put them in the hole. And now it still isn't the social programs they can't afford, it's that the people, especially the wealthy, just don't pay taxes.

It's the "taxes are bad for the country" mentality that has screwed them. that's not socialist Democrats, that's good ol' Tea Party Republicans.

Hey moron the Tea party isn't against taxes. The acronym TEA stands for taxed enough already. You fools have no understanding of anything really.

Greece fell apart because of all the entitlements and so many people retiring at the age of 40. When you have more people taking than giving, you have a huge problem.

2. It always amazes me how RWers can blame everything on "socialism"

and nothing is because of the things they do and support.

It amazes me how DUmmies see how socialism is falling apart yet think that will fix our problems.

Yeah cause they could borrow money to pay for it. Eventually the debt gets so big that the well dries up.
Financing yearly expenses by borrowing just isn't sustainable.

Freeper troll.

Lord I hope like mad that 0bama and plenty of dems find themselves without a job in January. Thinking like this scares me.

Wow! What we have here is a moment of clarity. We are doing the same thing.

Debt ceiling is coming up again. Listen to what the democrats say when this happens. Just like the last time. "If the debt ceiling isn't raised, Social Security checks will not be sent out. The Military will not be paid."

What irritates me to no end is, we see plain as day where we are heading with 0bama at the helm, the same place as Greece, and instead of avoiding the iceberg we are increasing our forward speed to collide with it.

Like a game of chicken with an iceberg. Who will flinch first ? The smart money isn't on the iceberg. Now if it was who would filch first, naturally my money would be on owebuma.

Most of the population isn't even concerned. They can sense the wolf is at the door but the news media doesn't mention it much, so it must be OK.

Obama and the FED have been keeping things going by printing money, keeping interest rates near zero, and borrowing like there is no tomorrow. Like a business taking out loans to make payroll, it's all a sham and sooner or later, the whole thing is going to come crashing down.
