    ))) I'm not sure, perhaps, I'd have to ask him, if I met him in the real life). But, I'd be against it if I were him, I'd prefer gold)

    Absolutely worthless. The whole Euro is designed to drain the successful and reward the drainers with the banks being the middle man receiving the biggest cuts.

    "The number of cases brought against financial institutions for fraud is at a 20-year low"
    - 60 Minutes discussing how Obama's Justice Department has not brought one case for fraud against any Wall Street bigwigs, despite hundreds of whisleblowers coming forward.

    That sound about right. England knew this which is why they stayed with the Sterling and rejected the Euro. The EU also knew this which is why they desperately wanted England on the Euro so England's strong economy could prop up weak economies like Greece, Italy, etc.

    England's strong economy? Hundred of thousands of workers went on strike last week to protest against austerity measures designed to bring it back in shape. It has also refused to help Greece out of their troubles because the UK don't have the money.

    I have also heard the news that America is in debt of some Trillion dollars and as a result of such, there is a chance of Double Deep Recession to come.

    Haha, a good video it is.

    I liked the part with the questiob about keeping diamonds. (c)-It's a tradition))))

    If seriously, the fact that gold is a valuable asset can't be doubted, so in times when people lose trust to currency they turn to valuable assets, like gold, expensive art and diamonds as well

    Yeah, he also said he had made the US Government 125 million dollars. He failed to mention he is creating trillions of
    dollars of debt.

    You aren't being honest. Hundreds of thousands of GOVERNMENT workers went on strike because they need to pay a tiny bit more towards their pensions. And to show how selfish the strikers are, they shut down hospitals and ambulances. Ambulance services workers have put people's lives at risk because ambulance workers won't show up for work. "Give us what we want or we will let you die", is the motto of the selfish U.K. Government Worker.

    Take a look at what selfish fucks these U.K. workers are: LINK

    Why are they on strike? Because the government wants government workers to have the same pension benefits as private citizens. How will this happen? Government workers will only need to pay between 1.5% and 4% more into their pensions, bringing their contributions to the same level of non-government workers!

    What a bunch of whiny crybabies.

    And I don't know what you mean by they "refused to help Greece out of their troubles". Are you saying the U.K. is SUPPOSED to help Greece out of their troubles? NOBODY WANTS TO HELP GREECE OUT OF THEIR TROUBLES! Greece has a population just the size of Dallas, Texas yet Greece is a corrupt, bloated society filled with cheats and con artists. Any money sent to Greece might was well be flushed down the toilet.

    Just heard on the Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC. Obama's "Jobs bill" from 2010? The FIRST bill to fix our bridges and roads? The Democrats put in loopholes so that the repairs are being made using building materials Made in China. For example, California's $6 Billion project to rebuild the historic Oakland Bay Bridge is being built using Chinese steel.

    Not quite right. Schools were closed, some operations were postponed, some appointments cancelled and all health emergencies were taken care of. The selfish fucks as you call them are normal people protesting that their conditions of employment have suddenly been changed by the government. The same government that bailed out the banks to the tune of 500 billion is now taking away worker's entitlements.

    I'll bow to your superior knowledge of Greece, as I haven't been there I can't comment.

    walker already gave shit loads to business. and many in return as the corporations get richer are left to rot

    granted many take advantage of the system, imo there needs to be a clearing out of all those on the system that shouldnt be, be it citizen to corporation

    As always, no one wants to speak of failures, and wishes to sound as the best one in the country. Sometimes, it's just getting too irritating

    You don't pay down debts by using a new credit card to pay off the old ones.

    You can use a new credit card to transfer balances and pay a lower interest rate for a period of time.

    And you can do that several times as long as you cancel and cut up the old cards.
